Nuggets from “Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations” by Dave Hunt

The four-hundred-year rule of the Ottoman Turks, which ended in 1917, included kidnappings of young non-Muslim boys, who were forced to “convert” and serve for life as Turkish slave warriors. Many desperate parents mutilated their children to make them undesirable. Being Greek, Armenian, Serbian, or any other non-Muslim under Ottoman rule, was to live in daily fear of murder, rape, torture, and genocide. To this day, Serbs and Bulgarians loathe Turks and Bosnian Muslims….

As horrible as it was, the persecution of Jews in Roman Catholic Europe was mild compared with what Ottoman Christians and Jews endured for four centuries. The slaughter included more than one million Armenians in the last decades of the nineteenth and first of the twentieth centuries, as well as many thousands of Jews, Greeks, Syrians, Lebanese, and others. Tragically, the oppression and bloodshed were often condoned and even encouraged by Western powers, particularly England and at times America. In the great 1915 massacre, “Turkish women were given the dagger to give the final stab to dying Armenians in order to gain credit [with] Allah for having killed a Christian” (Michael J. Arlen, Passage to Ararat, [Ballantine Books, 1975]).
