By Allah’s help, some 70,000 of them [the Greeks] were put to death.”…

When someone hears the word Arabs or Islam post 9/11 in America, there wasn’t any sense of danger towards Muslims. Unlike today when the media brings up the religion of Islam, automatically non Muslims think the worst of us. There has become fear to see a man having a full bread, or a woman in hijab. Usually this fear comes from people who know absolutely nothing about this religion and who don’t understand it. I believe that the American press has a big influence on how the country views Muslims and things are only getting worse.…

For the majority non-Muslim subjects and those Muslims who did not belong to the same sect of Islam as their empire, such as the Ottoman Alawis, where dealt with extreme prejudice when they rose to power.
