We are seeing a new Holocaust where Christianity is being systematically wiped out in the Middle East by the forces of Islam.

The Turkish government and the Islamic faith in general has a policy of “Christianity is an extinct religion.” Therefore, Christians are also extinct. Those who are not Islamic are just Dhimi unbelievers.

“Those who do not learn from History are damned to repeat it.” George Santayana

It is a well known fact the bloody history of Islam, but useful idiots still call it a “religion of peace”, even though that in the name of Allah more than 220 millions infidels (Jews, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus) have been slaughtered by Muslim, since the prophet of Allah beheaded in 627 AD over 700 hundred men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped entirely the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza.

The Fall of Constantinople - May 29, 1453.

In Constantinople,after breaking down the church’s bronze gates, they found inside a huge throng of Byzantines who had taken refuge and who were praying that the city might be delivered by some miracle. The Christians were seized and separated according to age and gender. The infants and elderly were brutally murdered; the men, including some of the city’s most prominent senators, were carted off to the slave markets; and the women and girls were taken by soldiers to be raped or sent into a life of slavery.

1. Before the siege began, the entire civilian population, including the City’s priests, nuns, and monks, came out to refortify the walls.

2. The siege of the City lasted 54 days. This was the first, large-scale, sustained bombardment by cannon against medieval fortifications in Europe.

3. The Turks had an army of 80,000-100,000 men. The defenders of Constantinople numbered only 7,000. Constantinople, a city whose greater environs had once approximated 1 million people, had been reduced by the time of the fall to about 50,000 inhabitants.

4. Emperor Constantine XI Paleologos died a hero’s death, fighting at the walls of the City. After he knew that the siege was lost, he threw off his imperial cloak and charged into a wave of advancing Turks, never to be seen again.

5. One of the great targets of the Turks’ destruction was Agia Sophia, the great Church of the Holy Wisdom. The Turks desecrated the altar, hacked away at the Byzantine icons, murdered Christians who had taken refuge in the sanctuary, and raped women and children inside the Church.

6. Of that total, an estimated 15,000 were killed by the Turks while some 30,000 were chained and dragged to the docks on the Golden Horn, where they were boarded onto ships to be sent to Arab and Turkish Muslim slave markets, never to see their homes again.
