>>212196468of course ottomans were human and tolerant
why are you projecting so hard it's fucking hilarious
ever since the start and the end of the ottoman empire they tolerated religious and ethnic minorities and lived together with them
when there was a genocide of jews and muslims in spain ottomans send ships to rescue them and likewise it was ottomans that saved hundreds of thousands of circassians when russians were genociding them
when crusaders were beheading every muslim turks in the cities they conquered ottomans spared the knights of rhodes after their conquest
it was anti ottoman wallachian rebellion that murered thousands of civilians by putting them up on stake and they are seen as heroes against the ottomans in western literature
you guys are the barbarian vile subhumans but just because you won over us in later stages of history you think you get to rewrite it to seem you were the good guys
