  28. freezedive said: people are capable of oppression and barbarism and creating masterpieces of art and architecture in equal shares. such traits do not discriminate based on race.
  29. freezedive said: another positive to the ottomans - they took in jews during the spanish inquisition, and practiced surprisingly tolerant religious practices for the 15th and 16th centuries, aka the height of their power. they did this and yet they took boys and girls away from their families and shoved them into the janissary corps and as slaves into the harem.
  30. freezedive said: It was their way or the highway, they took non muslim boys captive and essentially turned them into child soldiers (the deadly Janissary corps), and would also take captive girls from conquered areas and sell them as slaves to the Imperial Harem.
  31. freezedive said: >just casually points to the Ottoman Empire as an example. Flourishing of arts, culture, literature, gorgeous architecture. HOWEVER - ruthless af to the point of barbarism in their foreign policy. (tbc)
