    So Armenian and Greek genocides did not happen? Do you think life was great for non Turks/Muslims before that? There were no massacres of Christians?

      Armenian genocide happened after the fall of the empire.

      I said it was relatively more peaceful then than it is now. Not that nothing bad happened back then but COMPARED TO NOW? SERIOUSLY?

        ??? More than a million each dead of Armenians and Greeks, successfull ethnic cleansing of Asia Minor of said minorities.

        I understand that you are not from a region occupied by the Ottoman empire and you have a simplistic mindview of Muslim’s always good, Christians always bad. However saying the Ottoman empire should not have fallen is deeply offensive, certainly in the Balkans and I would wager in the Levante as well. The Arabs did rebel against them after all. With British support, just like every rebellion tries to get outside support.
