False.
Bob's quotes included the following: ( not an exhaustive list)
1.The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS 2018 by Robert Spencer ( pg 3440 kindle reference) Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, vol. 2, ch. 66, part 1, https://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/volume2/chap66.htm
2. Caroline Finkel, Osman’s Dream: The History of the Ottoman Empire (Basic Books, 2007), 5.
3. Dario Fernandez Morera's :The Myth of the Andaluscian Paradise. Muslims, Jews and Christians under Islamic rule in Medieval Spain. ISI books. Wilmington, Delaware ( Pg 160)
Edit:
What Adnan forgot to mention in his correct assertion(25:56) that Christian parents would often ( with much heartache) offer their sons as Janizaries, were the reasons behind this. The conditions of those in dhimmitude were so dire ( Imposed by Islamic rule) that the drafting to Janizarie regiments offered them a slim chance of a future. It was a "choice" I guess.
Further to this, at first these boys were torn from their homes and families only at irregular intervals—sometimes every seven years and sometimes every four—but after some time, the devshirme became an annual event.*1 By the time it ended, in the late seventeenth century, around two hundred thousand boys had been enslaved in this manner.*2
Ref: *1 Bat Ye’or, The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam, 115.
Ref: *2 Thomas Sowell, Conquests and Cultures: An International History (Basic Books, 1998), 192.
Finally, it would appear that Adnan was being a little disingenious with his listeners.
