November Marks the Beginning anti Christian Jihad by the Ottomans: The Enduring Horror of Political Islam: A Legacy of Genocide and Silence

It's often whispered in historical footnotes that Adolf Hitler drew grim inspiration from the world's indifference to mass atrocities committed under the banner of political Islam. "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" he reportedly mused, highlighting the chilling silence surrounding the Ottoman Empire's systematic extermination of its Christian minorities. This wasn't mere conquest or war—it was political Islam in action, weaponizing religious doctrines like jihad and dhimmi status to justify the erasure of entire communities. While the world looked away, political Islam's toxic blend of faith and power claimed millions of lives, a pattern that persists to this day.

Take the testimony of Henry Morgenthau, the Jewish-American ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Stationed in Constantinople from 1913 to 1916, Morgenthau repeatedly confronted Ottoman leaders like Talaat Pasha over the unfolding horrors against Armenians. In his memoirs, he described the genocide as unparalleled in human history:

“I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The greatest massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared with the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1915.”

This wasn't an isolated incident but part of a broader, deliberate campaign spanning decades. As detailed in Benny Morris and Dror Ze’evi's The Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey’s Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894–1924, the Ottoman Turks orchestrated three waves of violence against Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks from 1894 to 1924. Far from random acts, these were a unified effort to purge Anatolia of Christians, reducing their population from nearly a quarter to just 2 percent. The methods? Mass killings, forced deportations, conversions, and rapes, all fueled by calls to jihad aimed at forging a "pure" Muslim nation.

The authors estimate that between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians were murdered in this period alone, a staggering toll that exposes political Islam's genocidal underbelly.[1]

Richard L. Rubenstein's Jihad and Genocide delves deeper into the religious motivations, arguing that the atrocities were seen as "legitimate defensive methods" against dhimmis—non-Muslims under Islamic rule—who were deemed outlaws. In 1914, as the Ottoman Empire entered World War I, the sultan-caliph issued a call for jihad against "infidels," followed by the Sheikh-ul-Islam's inflammatory declaration. This wasn't empty rhetoric; it mobilized killing squads influenced by jihad ideology and pan-Turkism.

Beyond outright slaughter, the regime forced conversions on 100,000 to 200,000 Armenians, mostly women and children, absorbing them into Muslim households to eliminate the Christian demographic presence. Rubenstein notes that these "absorptions" were part of the same "genocidal calculus" as murder, with deportations designed to isolate and terrorize victims.

In places like Trebizond, thousands of children were drowned or distributed to Muslim families, swiftly assimilated as part of the extermination program (Rubenstein, 2010, pp. 54–55).[2]

This historical bloodshed is just the tip of political Islam's deadly iceberg. From 1894 to 2024, the toll of victims—those killed in jihads, genocides, and Islamist terror—stands at a conservative minimum of over 18 million, potentially exceeding 24 million.[3] The breakdown is harrowing, including:

  • 2.5 million in the Ottoman jihad against Christians (1894–1924)
  • 3 million in the Bangladesh Genocide (1971)
  • 3 million in the Biafra Genocide (1967–1970)
  • 1 million in the Iran-Iraq War's sectarian slaughter (1980–1988)
  • 1954-1962: 400,000 to 1.5 million Algerians
  • Some 4.5 million 1955-2025 including. Including in 1985+; 2003-2005: Darfur genocide; 2013-2018, 2023+
  • Hundreds of thousands under Saddam Hussein
  • Hundreds of thousands under Idi Amin
  • Over 600,000 in Syria 2011-2024
  • Nearly 250,000 in global Islamist terrorist attacks (1979–April 2024)

These aren't coincidences; they're the fruits of an ideology that politicizes religion to sanction violence, supremacy, and erasure.

Political Islam's defenders might claim these are distortions or historical anomalies, but the pattern is undeniable: from the caliph's jihad fatwas to modern Islamist militias, the fusion of faith and state power breeds intolerance and death. The world's continued silence—much like in Hitler's era—only emboldens it. If we fail to confront this ideology head-on, the victim count will keep climbing. History demands we break the cycle, rejecting political Islam's grip on power before it claims millions more.

Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani (just like Charlottesville 2017 helped Biden)

Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani. Tucker Carlson built his brand on the illusion of defending “real America,” but what he’s actually done is mainstream grievance politics and conspiracy rhetoric that corrodes the conservative movement from within. By flirting with isolationism, even pro-Hitler Fuentes, Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper, excusing antisemitic tropes, and casting suspicion on Israel’s moral legitimacy, Carlson has alienated countless Jews who once found a home on the right. His demagoguery has pushed many—especially younger Jewish Americans—toward figures like Zohran Mamdani, who, while sincere in their pursuit of justice, often represent a radical rejection of the very Western and Jewish values that once anchored political discourse. Reminder: The 2017 Charlottesville rally—where neo-Nazis chanted “Jews will not replace us” while marching with tiki torches—didn’t just shock the nation; it ...

Run-down: Kevin Roberts of 'Heritage Foundation' on Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes Scandal

Kevin Roberts of 'Heritage Foundation' on Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes Scandal Complete Summary – October 27 to November 9, 2025 Overview of the Scandal The controversy began after Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on October 27, 2025 , in a two-hour podcast that amassed over 17 million views on X . Carlson asked softball questions, nodded approvingly, and did not challenge Fuentes’ antisemitic remarks, praise for Hitler and Stalin, or claims about “organized Jewry” controlling U.S. politics. Carlson also accused pro-Israel American Christians of having a “brain virus” and being heretics . This triggered bipartisan outrage , with critics accusing Carlson of normalizing neo-Nazi ideology . Note: The interview was not adversarial. Carlson’s tone and lack of pushback were widely interpreted as tacit endorsement, not mere platforming. This became a central poin...
