John Mole Quotes

Whisper It Softly, But Many Greeks, Including Clergy, Welcomed The Ottomans. On The Whole Muslim Rulers Have Been Much More Tolerant Of Infidels Than Their Christian Counterparts Have. As Long As Their Subjects Paid Taxes And Provided Recruits To The Harems And Armies Of The Sultan, They Could Have Whatever Religion They Liked. Only When They Joined Religion With Revolt Did Scimitars And Stakes Come Out. Orthodox Christianity Was Under Far Greater Threat From The Roman Variety Imposed By Venetians And Franks And Catalans. Jews Too Were Safer From Pogrom Under The Crescent Than The Cross. This Is Not A Line Of Thought That Goes Down Well In Greek Company.
