For all of their faults, the Ottomans were kind to Jews living in their lands.
even Wikipedia, which tends liberal, admits it was a mixed bag, with occasional massacres. And Jews and Christians had many restrictions, and had to pay “jizra”.
...besides, if you look at the treatment of women, the 70 million plus Hindus killed (”Hindu Kush”), and much too much to list here, in 1300 years of plunder rape conquest etc., saying that occasionally they were nice to productive people who were paying disproportionate taxes, is like Hitler being nice to children and dogs.
An order of magnitude more Africans died in the eastern slave trade, than west. adb means both black and slave.
The Quran is by definition racist, and sexist. not a matter of interpretation. Muhammad (pbuh) OWNED black slaves himself. and took a captive woman as property, after a battle in which her husband was killed.
and he is considered the most perfect man, to emulate...
yes, some Muslims are nice. Some treated Jews nice, in Turkey, and Spain. but they were NOT following the Quran. they were like Catholics who support abortion.
the Quran SPECIFICALLY forbids even being friends with a kuffir.
so if a Muslim was friendly with a Jew (or Christian), they are either violating their own religion’s teachings, or they are practicing taquiyya...
