[edit] POV

This paragraph strikes me as extremely POV, and I've accordingly removed it (except the note about leaving a large fortune):

Bold, overbearing and unscrupulous, Sinan recoiled from no baseness to put a rival out of the way; while his insolence was not confined to foreign ambassadors, but was exercised towards his opponents in the sultans presence. He had a barbarous hatred not only for Christians but for all civilization. The immense fortune which he left is a proof of his rapacity.

He very well may have been greedy, barbrous, unscrupulous, insolent, etc., but I think we ought to cite specific evidence (or at least a more neutral source) before including those judgments in the article. Did everyone hate this man so, or only the Christian editors of 1911? --Dvyost 16:44, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
