| Muslim Turks: The grand masters of torture |

Follow up from this post from yesterday:
Text: We Greeks, called the Muslim Turks, "The grand masters of torture." The barbarity of the Muslims against the Christian Greeks had begun from the very first days of the Revolution. As historical sources report, the Turks, in order to intimidate the rebels, systematically committed atrocities that the human mind cannot comprehend. On page 236-237 of the historical book "What You Didn't Know About Turkish Rule and the Greek Revolution of 1821," the following is written: As soon as the Revolution of 1821 broke out, the Turks, in their attempt to intimidate the rebels, butchered those they captured or threw them to the ground and slaughtered them like animals. In some cases, they exceeded the limits of brutality. In Patras, they captured a father and son and, after impaling them, lit a fire and forced the other captives to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha at that point was more inventive: When he impaled Christians, he forced their relatives to turn the spit, threatening that otherwise he would impale them too. Immediately after the hanging of Patriarch Gregory V in Constantinople, the Turks hanged three metropolitans at various points in the city. However, one of them, the very elderly Metropolitan of Nicomedia, breathed his last before reaching the place of execution. Such, however, was the Turks' mania for revenge that they punished even the dead man by hanging his... corpse. After the hanging of the Patriarch, the Turks daily engaged in massacres of Christians who were trying to escape from the City. Then the Sultan sent a firman to the Patriarchate, which prohibited the departure of Christians from Constantinople, making them "jointly liable" in groups of five. This meant that if one from a group of five escaped, the remaining four would pay with their lives. More at the link |
