The Ottamans set such a good example as pacific conquerors that they won the confidence of many former Byzantine subjects . For example , when Nicaea fell , Orhan allowed all who wanted to leave the city to depart freely , taking with them their holy relics , but few availed themselves of the chance . No reprisals were taken against those who had resisted , and the city was left to manage its internal affairs under its own municipal government . BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page -109 . And Go through sultan salahuddin ayyubi history . He showed mercy while retake Jerusalem in 1187 AD . AND Recently , Taliban showed mercy towards western Christian club occupied force . Can show single example from Christian club world? " The inhabitants ( of nicaea ) surrendered not from starvation or defeat but from a calculation of their own best interests. They were quickly and willingly incorporated into the growing Osmanli nation. Only eight years after the fall of Nicaea, the Patriarch of Constantinople was shocked to learn that many of the citizens of this once great Christian city had already abjured their Orthodox faith and embraced Islam. In 1339 and 1340 he addressed encyclicals to them for the salvation of their souls, but it was too late. " BOOK : The Last Centuries of Byzantium 1261-1453. page - 171 AUTHOR : Donald M. Nicol So , conversion by Ottomans not forced but the Greek Christian embraced Islam. "The Osmanlis did not therefore slaughter every Christian 'miscreant' in their path. Rather they encouraged the Christian inhabitants of the countryside and the towns to join them. Islamic law and tradition declared that enemies who surrendered on demand should be treated with tolerance. The Christians of Bithynia were obliged to pay the haradj or capitation tax for the privilege of being tolerated, but this was no more burdensome than the taxes they had paid to the Byzantine government which had neglected their interests. Once they had made the decision to surrender or defect the Byzantine population did not find the change of masters too distressing. The inducements were often strong for the Osmanlis wanted to increase their numbers. A band of Catalans even went over to them in 1304. Some Christians went all the way with the conquerors and were converted to Islam. But this was not demanded of them, for all who entered the service of Osman, Turks or Greeks, became part of· the same nation and were collectively known as Osmanlis. It was because they began to look to the future instead of living from day to day that the Osmanlis prospered when the other emirates declined.

Salam sister. I really enjoyed this episode. I originally comecfrom Seville, in Andalusia and I feel offended when being called Spanish because Spain has systematically exterminated jews and muslims and continues to steal our culture and despise our values. Al Andalus was, very mucj like the places and the timecyou describe when Suleyman was the ruler of Costantinople. So it touchesxmy heart when I see those streets which very muchvlook like those in which I grew up. May Allah grant you a pleasant life. Assalamu alaycum, Lior

Alhamdulillah

In the 18 the century, the Ottoman Empire began to establish permanent diplomatic missions in London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. As a result of these contacts all things Turkish became exotic, not least the dress fashion, “turquoisie”. Sultans and pashas were often portrayed as noble and enlightened people in contrast to European rulers. At the Prussian and Saxon courts, feasts, processions and weddings were held á laTurc and Turkish manners became a way for the upper classes to distance themselves from common people. Turkish kiosks were erected in Swedish manorial parks too and Gustav III built a Turkish pavilion at Haga Park. In the 18 th century, Ignatius Mouradgea, a translator (dragoman) of Armenian origin at the Swedish Embassy in Istanbul, contributed to spreading knowledge and a positive image of Turkey in Europe through his encyclopaedic volume entitled Tableau Général de l’Empire Ottoman. He was later knighted by Gustav III acquiring the name d’Ohsson and was for a time head of the Embassy in Istanbul. Turkish Janissary music inspired among others Mozart and Schubert to compose music à la turca. And with the age of enlightenment and Romanticism there was increased interest in the exotic and greater tolerance of and curiosity about other religions and cultures, which was reflected in the image of the Turk who now came to be regarded in many quarters as the “noble savage”.

At the time , the Ottoman Turks arrived in the 13 th century ,there was still a large population of Greeks and Armenians in the Asia Minor , especially in the towns and relation between Greeks and Turks were closer and inter-marriages more common than usually assumed . Greeks worked in the Seljuk administration in high officies , Turkish troops were often hired by the Byzantine Emperors , and fleeing Turkish rulers sought refuge in Byzantium " " The early Ottaman society was complex and included members of numerous religion and ethnicity " . " In short , it was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire ruled by the Osman dynasty from circa 1300 until its demise in World War - I ". BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page - XXV , XXVi

Assalamualaikum Sister Lauren, you are staying in this city, Uskudar..?

Pl read this history ; ( i ). " The main reason for Ottaman success , however , was the development of stable and permanent institutions of government that transformed a tribal polity into a workable state ". ( ii ) " The Ottamans utilized all human resources in their emirate and quickly learned skills in bureaucracy and diplomacy ........ They also did not slaughter every Christian in their path ; rather , they encouraged the Christian inhabitants of the countryside and the towns to join them .

" Some Christians converted to Islam upon joining the Ottamans ; however, this was not demanded . Many local Christians even participated in Ottaman raids against Byzantium ". BOOK : Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire . AUTHOR : Gabor Agoston and Bruce Masters . Edition : 2009 page -109 .

At the height of their power , in the 16th century , their ( Ottaman ) Empire stretched from Hungary to Yemen , from Algiers to the Crimea and Iraq . They established peace , law and order in the Balkans and the Middle East , territories that have seen much violence since the breakup of the empire . The Ottamans also brought economic stability and prosperity and cultural flourishing to many parts of their empire . The spread of local fairs and markets , the establishment of new towns ( e.g., Sarajevo ) , and the population increase in the 16th century , are signs of this economic prosperity". ( ii ). " The sultan's Empire was feared and admired by the contemporaneous Europeans . Orgier Ghiselin de Busbecq , Habsburg ambassador to the ottaman capital in 1554-1562 , commended the Ottomans meritocracy noting that ottaman officials owed their offices and dignity to their " personal merits and bravery; no one is distinguished from the rest by his birth and honor is paid to each man according to the nature of the duty and offices which he discharges ".
