  4. Never take responsibility, blame the false blood, take the racist view. How's that working out for you. If they had not taken young Christian boys into servitude, castrating some, there would have been no Mamluks. Mamluks were originally enslaved soldiers of *Turkic, Caucasian, and Eastern European* origins. The Mamluk system began in the *9th century* in Baghdad under the Abbasid Caliphate and later spread throughout the Muslim world. The Mamluks eventually became a powerful military class, particularly in Egypt and Syria, where they established their own dynasties and ruled from **1250 to 1517**.

  5.  @mohamedm.el-sawymd2325  Dhimmi, Jizya, is not living in "peace", it's being a 2nd class citizen with few rights. I've read much history but willing to learn more. You? After World War I, there was a narrative within the Ottoman Empire, including elements within the Young Turks movement, that blamed Jews for the defeat and the subsequent collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Here's a nuanced look at this historical phenomenon: Background: The Young Turks, officially known as the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), were a coalition of reformers who sought to modernize the Ottoman Empire. They took control during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leading the Empire into World War I on the side of the Central Powers. Post-War Scapegoating: After the Ottoman Empire's defeat, there was a search for scapegoats. The conditions of the Treaty of Sèvres (1920) were particularly harsh, leading to significant territorial losses and political instability. This environment fostered conspiracy theories and blame-shifting. Anti-Semitic Propaganda: Some Young Turks and nationalists propagated anti-Semitic theories, claiming that Jews, particularly those in influential positions within the empire or abroad, had conspired against the Ottomans, aiding the Entente Powers. This included claims that Jewish bankers funded the allies or that Zionist movements in Palestine were part of a larger plot against the Ottoman state. Examples: Avram Galanti: A Jewish Ottoman intellectual, was accused of spying for Britain due to his Zionist affiliations, despite his loyalty to the Ottoman state. Newspapers and Pamphlets: Various publications of the time blamed Jews for the economic and military woes, echoing similar anti-Semitic sentiments seen in Europe. Historical Context: This scapegoating was not unique to the Ottoman Empire; similar sentiments were present in defeated Germany, contributing to the "stab-in-the-back" myth, where Jews were blamed for Germany's loss. Impact on Policy and Society: These narratives influenced the early years of the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, although Atatürk himself pursued policies more focused on modernization and secularism rather than anti-Semitism. However, the seeds of such conspiracy theories contributed to the broader historical anti-Semitic currents in the region. Modern Historical Analysis: Historians today view these accusations as part of a broader pattern of xenophobia and nationalism that emerged from the trauma of war and collapse. The narrative was not universally accepted among all factions of the Young Turks or within the broader Ottoman society but was significant enough to influence some political discourse.
