Not only is it a lie that Muslims persecuted Christians, but the truth is, as usual with Christians, exactly the opposite and once again Christians are trying to smear Muslims with their own crimes...it was not, and has not been, Muslims who persecuted Christians but Christians who persecuted, murdered, martyred and forciby converted other Christians...Muslims cared nothing for the trivial distinctions in creed for which Christian would kill Christian...all they knew was that Jesus was a holy man, a prophet and all who believed in him and the book must be respected and allowed to practise their religion in peace....that they charged a special tax should not be so startling...and both Muslims and Jews would not have minded at all to have been forced to pay an extra tax if they could have been spared their lives, families and property...but Christians wouldnīt even extend fair treatment to other Christians. The jizya tax was humanely applied with widows, orphans and the poor paying nothing...those who paid were Christian men of military age, who were not too poor to pay...and in return for the tax they were allowed to stay home in case of war, remain with their families and keep their businesses and farms...something many men would gladly pay a tax to enjoy.

When Muslims fought and killed Christians it was in WAR...and even that should startle no one as Christians conducted wars against each other all the time including two World Wars...when Christian subjects of a Muslim ruler rebelled or betrayed his people he fought them and killed them if need be...same as rebellious Christians were treated by their Christians rulers...when the South seceeded from the Union Abraham Lincoln sent his armies to put down, by murder, rebels of the South...and both sides were Christian...but what has NEVER happened, including in Turkey during WWI is the murder of innocent Christians just because they were Christians...that is absurd and an out and out lie...I donīt care how many times it is repeated, the fact is that there is no evidence of a genocide committed against innocent Christians JUST BECAUSE they were Christians...thatīs what CHRISTIANS did to other Christians...and Jews, murdering millions throughout their bloody history JUST for their religion.

It is all this bullshit propaganda and twisting of history and lies Christians indulge in that makes it highly suspicious when Christians today and Christian nations insist there was a genocide in Turkey,..they canīt even tell the truth in simple matters, why would anyone believe them where their bigotry is so flagrant?

Show us the proof...show us that Christian and Jew was persecuted by the Turks throughout history, as the Jews were by Christians...show us that Christian subjects of the Turks did NOT gather weapons and form militias and take pay and orders from those attacking Turkey, who later DID steal the oil-rich lands they were after all along, and still are. But mostly, show us how the Turks rounded up ALL Christians everywhere they could, or even tried to, and killed them or placed them in camps where they died...like the Christians did to the Jdews, and others. Show us or shut the fuck up.
