@d1_david@theraggedwood@__mike91 I don’t want to continue arguing with you but I just have one last question: what is your stance on immigration in the uk? I’m American btw
@d1_david@theraggedwood@__mike91 I'm not denying any of this. Relative to Europe at the time, jews were living much more safe and prosperous lives in the ottoman empire. They were allowed to practice their religion during a period of history where religious tolerance was practically nonexistent.
@d1_david@theraggedwood@__mike91 You’re dodging the main point of what I’m saying because you know that I’m right. Pogroms that happened generations apart from each other only show that there was flare ups in tension. What do you think it was like between Jews and Muslims when pogroms weren’t happening?
@d1_david@theraggedwood@__mike91 single examples of pogroms don't show that "muslims tried to slaughter jews at any opportunity they had." If that was true there never would have been a Jewish minority in the region at all. There is only a handful of examples of violence against jews during this period.-
