Nonsense! Konstantine XI was a kind, virtuous king, desperately guarding the last flickering candle of Christian civilisation in what had become a savage, dark wilderness of oriental Muhammadanism. See how a Christian's sword is straight and two edged, as a Christian is honest and fair. The Saracen's blade is wickedly curved and only cuts one way, representing his crooked, capricious, shiftless philosophy. The Marble Emperor will come again, and Constantinople will be Christian once more.
The problem with continued muslim immigration into Civilization is that islam is a violent (heard of "honor" killing?) political (heard of shariah "law"?) ideology that is masquerading as a non-violent religion.
Many people make the mistake, thinking that the Byzantine Empire was very powerfull and very civilized, this is not true.
The Golden Age of the Byzantines was in the reign of Justinian, in the 6th century, after 6th century Byzantines lost most of their empire to the Arabs, Slavs. The Capital Constantinople was a dozen times besieged. After losing Anatolia to the Turks, the Byzantines were dying empire, in 1204 Crusaders captured Constantinople. IN 1453 SO CALLED BYZANTINE ''EMPIRE'' WAS A TOWN
@OttomanTotalWar Um,the Byzantine Empire was at its pinnacle in the 10th century A.D. and up until the 13th century it was the world's wealthiest empire.The fact that the Greco-Romans,contrary to the Western empire,fended off barbarian raids through civilizing their aggressors does not undermine the indisputable preponderance of that empire.
@OttomanTotalWar In 1453 the Empire was small, but that doesn't mean it was never powerful. It had large periods of power, not only under Justinian but also under Constantine I, Theodosius, Basil II, Nikephoros Phokas, Tzimiskes, the Komnenian dynasty etc. They contolled territories that today belong to a lot of different countries (+10). Constantinople alone was wealthier than the whole of medieval Europe before the Crusades. By 1025 AD, Basil II had in the imperial treasury 91 tons of gold.
Yeah, everyone has blood on his hands. Political states and sometimes religions, Islam, is started with the blood of the conquered. It's all bad hehavior on the part of humans. -All of us- Please don't try and seperate out your own people as being somehow better than others. Given the chance and being empowered, all people are corrupted by the need for power and achievement.
and europeans should learn to suck up their defeats and look at their own black , bloody and inhuman history, they always play the blame and insult game but they were far worst then any eastern country.Now before starting a flame war on my comment just think about inquisition, the crusades and their bloody war for money and power, how christians first killed their own saints like jean D'arc and then made them saints and how christian called people heretics just becuase they were smarter them.etc
oh btw stop acting lke ignorant people and making a blame insult war and go learn history from a few different sources not just from your very nationalist neighbour or teacher, there are many facts and this siege was a pivotal point in history and epic battle between to great minds of that time, it was not easy but turkish strategy proved to be better combined with their technology. This is the history and history has many point which you cant argue here to prove anything, so dont be a kid.
lol this translation is wrong, the name of the ottoman sultan "mehmet" not "mohammed", and no before anyone says anything it is not the turkish version of "mohammed", turkish version of the name "mohammed" is the same but written as "muhammet" , people like to confuse and change history I hate it
This is all lies ahahha. It doesn't mention the "land around the city inhabited by Muslims" was only inhabited by them because they fucking took it all. Turks are originally from fucking Mongolia and have no right to "Turkey". Give Greece Constantinople back at least.
@crk416 well the asian part was inhabited by muslims since 400 years and the european part since 100 years,
And btw the muslims gave religous freedom to everybody so all the greeks and bulgarians continued to live together with the muslims, all people came originally from other areas, America was from native americans are the non native americans going to leave? giving the land ''back''? and the tolerance Turks showed, the europeans never showed to native people of the lands they colonised.
@OttomanTotalWar "well the asian part was inhabited by muslims since 400 years and the european part since 100 years" What the fuck does that even mean? And yes the Europeans were fucking horrible taking all the natives land. But at least we don't fucking lie about it and say we "liberated" the natives. You people came from fucking Mongolia and decided it would be a good idea to destroy the most advanced civilization on earth? And then you go and pretend you were "liberating" them?
@crk416 that means the muslims lived in those areas for centuries so it was their native land and their homeland, but you sound like: ''they come from fucking mongolia, fucking stealing the land" like they came suddenly,
For example The British islands were originally Keltic now most of them are germanic speaking, this change of language happened more than 1000 years ago, but according to you: ''fucking english they come from fucking sweden they stole the land of the keltic, destroying them''.
@crk416 Who says ''liberated'' this cartoon, but u dont understand this is an ordinary cartoon its the bible of muslims or something like that. After Ottoman rule their was stability and peace throughout the Ottoman empire and historians call this PAX OTTOMANA, in those ages greeks and jews and other christians became rich traders and contineud to live with their culture and there was for centuries no wars,civil war so compared to the chaos preceding the Ottomans it can be called "Liberation"
Propaganda cartoon. I don't have anything agains't Turks (I'm Finnish - NOT Greek), but this cartoon is just for kids to try and make Mehmed look like a "liberator".
Cheap probaganda, the Turk mongols still illegally occupy eastern Thrace, North Cyprus Asia minor and Antioch. I have not seen a penny of compensation money.
This is a beautifull example of Christian hypocrasy, they complain that the Ottomans captured and looted the city in 1453.
BUT they ALWAYS FORGET that the christian western european crusaders themselves captured Constantinople in 1204 and massacred raped and plundered the city and all of the churches.
What did the Ottomans do? 3 times offering them to surrender, but still after they captured they didnt massacre only looted, they gave religious freedom and destroyed no churches!
@OttomanTotalWar Ya know, If raping women and children on the alters of the Hagia Sophia itself, Then killing everyone inside doesn't count. Then yeah! No massacre at all! The Crusaders were basically still fucking barbarians in 1204, As were the Turks in 1453. The only civilized state during the Middle ages was the Roman Empire, "Byzantium" to fools who don't understand history.
@crk416 1 such things didnt happen, only looting and some were enslaved but majority of greeks continued to live in the city till 1950, Turks gave them relgious freedom and all kind of rights,
The Turks were 10 times more civilized than the crusaders and especially the byzantines who were not civilized at all, its a myth thinking byzantium was civilized, byzantium had no religious freedom or tolerance at all to non-orthodox, it was a fanatic orthodox state not related to ''Roman empire'' at all.
@OttomanTotalWar Read a fucking history book. The Byzantine Empire WAS the Roman Empire! When the western half fell to the Germans the eastern half survived. Effectively saving civilization. And they were 1000x more civilized then the Muslim world is today. In most Muslim country's you still fucking stone people and kill non-Muslims. I know this isn't the case in Turkey, But that is only because Turkey became heavily westernized after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
@crk416 The Eastern roman empire evolved into something different, the byzantines, read a book, after the 6th century it changed very much, latin replaced by greek culture changes into orthodox, so itwas not ANYMORE related to ANCIENT ROME, like the Holy Roman Empire of Germany was not related to ancient Rome, it was only in name relationship, it called itself ROMAN empire, but in fact itwas german and so The Byzantines called themselves Romans but they were Orthodox greeks or hellenised.
@OttomanTotalWar There were many Latin speakers in the Empire. Also, thousands of people could trace their roots back to Roman times. Also, the Byzantine Empire IS related to Rome because it was still a part of the Roman Empire when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476.
The only reason it is not called the Eastern Roman Empire, a name they and their neighbors (Christians and Muslims) gave them, was because a few Renassiance historians called it the Byzantine Empire.
@crk416 Byzantines were less civilized than China or the Muslim countries in the medieval ages, just compare their architecture, scientists, As an example: (the Byzantines were the left sick side of the body of an old man whose right side was already paralysed). their entire history the byzantines were a crumbling old empire which had nothing of its old greatness except the name.
Its ur own prejudice to think Byzantines weregreat
In reality stoning happens almost in none of the muslim countries
@OttomanTotalWar Are you kidding? The Byzantine Empire was the largest empire on the planet during the reign of Heraclius. China only had half the amount of land the Byzantines possessed. You also overuse the word prejudice in your comments, please, think of something original. Different nations have different cultures.
So what the Byzantines stoned people? Carthage sacrificed living people and were considered a great civilization. Read a accurate history book please.
@OttomanTotalWar Excuse me? You GOT YOUR CIVILIZATION FROM THE BYZANTINES. You think you "conquered lands where people live in shacks" and your technology, education and "civilization" popped out of nowhere??
The Byzantine Empire was the most cultured and intelligent empire of their age. A caliph in Baghdad even asked for Byzantine tutors in his city.
@AqworldsWiki Discussing with you is difficult no no, actually it is impossible because you are dumb and very prejudiced. You are very biased person, in your head you have the image of a perfect civilized Byzantine Empire, and a very negative image of the destroyers of your imagined wonderfull empire.
The Ottomans did not destroy, Byzantine architecture, culture, language or assimilated or massacred the Byzantine people, which the West did in America, Go to Istanbul see it with your own eyes.
@OttomanTotalWar I think is quite inpolite to call someone dumb and prejudice. It means you can not further the argument, and rather, you would insult me.
I am not biased to anything other than the truth. You agree with the contents in this video, and I am simply stating the truth. Now that I reread my comment, I realize you are exaggerating. I did not state a single word on that "The Ottomans did not destroy, Byzantine arch... etc" I said that the Byzantines were civilized. Please dont jump.
What an idiotic video. So,you muslims are happy to have fucked, destroyed, sacked one of the greatest civilizations on Earth, and an empire which lasted more than 2000 years ? This, only cause a fucking book said you to do so ? And now you teach your children that it is a good thing to act as a stupid barbarian ?
we did not sack it, the crusaders did it. We broke its walls and conquered it. There were 10,000 jews within the city at that time, a fact recorded by jewish historians. Not a single one was killed, and were the first to be granted complete freedom of religion. Then the christians were granted freedom. As for those christians who fought against the Muslims in the war, they were turned into slaves and sold to the kurds.
Id like to see the day a greek city is looking forward to being "liberated" by turks. About as likely as Jerusalem was looking forward to being "liberated" by the crusaders. Kind of crappy propaganda this one.
liberate it for Islam you dumb fool. you can't understand English? go educate yourself first. There were 10,000 Jews within the city as well. Who were the first to be granted complete freedom of religion, and then came the turn of the christian sects within the city. As for the chrisitian army, they were turned into slaves and sold to the local turks and kurds.
@musa78692 actually there were only 20000 defenders and about 4000 women and children. There were no Jews in Constantinople at the time, and no one was granted religious freedom, lol. Unless you mean muslims of course.
I live in Montana... perhaps the freest, most beautiful place on this planet. There is no sales tax. Enforcement of marijuana laws is almost non-existent. We have some of the world's finest hunting. We have some of the best nightlife anywhere... I could go on.
The point is, if Montana was overrun with Muslims and they imposed sharia, banned alcohol, and forced everyone to convert to their cockamamie religion... 400 years later they'd call it "liberation." Pathetic huh?
i like when turks make movies to remind themselves that they don't belong there and that as long as they may live in Constantinople they will feel strangers
@enethaeros Your claim is a bit strange because therefore you would claim that the americans should feel as strangers? because they have taken land from natives? Dosent make sense....
Nobody take notice of this video for anything other than a laugh at muslim propaganda, for that is all that this is. It has nil to no historical accuracy and appart from the use of historical characters names, it is a work of pure fiction.
free them by taking there lands is more like it. It truly is unbelievable you cant acknowledge any of your actual history like genocide, which becomes "we were just moving them a bit south".
In 1942 the American Pacific states, in their post-Pearl Harbor paranoia, put citizens of Japanese ancestry in prison camps. Now imagine those Japanese-Americans had been waging an anti-American terrorist campaign for decades prior to the outbreak of the war, and that once war broke out, they helped the Japs invade and occupy California. How might Americans have reacted THEN?
(That's more or less the equivalent of what the Armenians did to the Ottoman Empire.)
Such a Propagated film, if anyone is actually interested in watching some facts from the history channel type this in "The fall of Constantinople" and to the turks that spread these lies about history, Stop! just stop wasting your time this is useless nonsense. If you feel you need to justify your conquering, just think of it this way it is what it is, but please stop lying about how Mehmed was such a good leader so good that he wished to free the people in Constantinople from suffering
Yes, this is Muslim propaganda sure, but given that Western culture has an anti-Muslim bias (because for so much of its history it basically defined itself against Islam) that may not be such a bad thing. I still can't buy the idea that the Ottomans busted Urban out of a Constantinople prison though -- if they could tunnel into the city why not just open the city gates from the inside to let the army in and conquer the city without needing to use cannons at all?
@GCarty80 Well one hole is a heck of alot easier and quiter to dig then say 1000 holes, besides the ottomans would have been cutdown as they poured out of the holes.
@GCarty80 Well, that's because it's bullshit. He was a mercenary who first tried to sell his assistance to the christians, but was turned away because they had not the money nor the supplies to build them. So, he went and sold his cannons to the turks. And those mercenary, and christian, cannons and sappers were instrimental in the fall of the city.
look at the imperfect descriptions of god in the bible: like a man[genesis 11:5] Moses sees God's back parts[exodus 33:23] like one drunk[psalm 78:65] regrets making man[genesis 6:6] A crouching lion[Numbers 24:9] rested and refreshed[exodus 31:17] "...in 6 days Lord made heaven and earth and on seventh day he rested AND WAS REFRESHED"[31:17] why do anyone want to follow an imperfect description of God(your creator),is beyond any human mind's common sense. ACCEPT ISLAM
@PeacefulOnly This language is symbolic, and also because Bible has been written and compiled for over 1000 years. It represents evolving Jewish understanding of God. And also stop this stupid throwing several random verses out of context and proving in your mind that Christianity is wrong. How can Christians and Muslims ever be friends if we keep on arguing about whose religion is superior. Respect my religion.
There is no compulsion in religion in islam you cannot be forced practice Islam is is a religion of complete submission to Allah you have to give yourself to the One Creator not be forced so it was up to them to accept islam. So they were able to live free and practice their religion.
To understand that this cartoon isn't far cry from reality you can ask yourself a simple question:After Turks conquered İstanbul why did they let Christians be hundred percent free to practice their religion?Why did Christian people lived under Turk's authorithy for ages without even raising their voices? If their empire Constantine had had been perfect and just they would have showed their unhappines.Actually they were happier living with Turks.
One thing that surprises me is that a Muslim propaganda film such as this didn't mention what happened to Constantinople in 1204 -- the reason why many of the city's people "preferred the Ottoman turban to the cap of the Catholics".
@TheSOKARSIKER Yeah right because Mehmed II commited his whole army,80,000 strong just to save the poor christian people of Constantinople but after he did he decided to murder half of them and make the other half slaves and ship them off.That's called a sacking.Constantin XI was a great ruler and this is propaganda trying to discredit him.If you believe half of this shit your stupid,but don't get me wrong i'm not at all anti-Islam like these racist pigs here i just hate history manipulators.
@DeliBasAli I agree 100%. Although I deeply respect Islam and some of my best friends are Muslim, I agree with you. I noticed that many nations glorify their various victories, which are by any standards should be condemned as atrocities. This cartoon also failed to mention that Mehmet II troops have pillaged the city for three days and killed 50000 innocent civilians, sparing no man woman child. But we should not be too hard on Muslims, for we Christians have committed lots misdeeds too.
this is another arabic bullshit, like they always make, they are the greates and all other suck, but the true is arabic make no other then propaganda for byzantia and jewish
This is a very good cartoon, which shows the Ottoman side of the conquest, but it is neutral towards the Byzantines and does not insult them or tell lies about them.
It has been very good researched, and because some people are so racist they can not accept the reality about Sultan Mehmed II does not mean this is a propoganda but only shows some people are very racist and biased.
The only and only negative thing in the cartoon about Byzantines is:
@OttomanTotalWar This is propaganda. First of all the emperor was not fat, and second of all Constantine XI Paelogolus was a brave and noble man. Here you portray him like he is some sort of fat, selfish snob. The real emperor was very far from the one portrayed here. You show it like it is black and white, and things are never like that. You are good knights in shining armor coming to rescue poor damsel in distress. Do you seriously believe that people will fall for this.
@OttomanTotalWar I respect you Muslims, and respect Islam and do not buy into "Islam is a religion of violence" stuff, but you are showing a great disrespect to us Christians by protraying the emperor like this! And please, do not pretend like it you do lie here!
@TheAntoninusPius I respect you for saying that..... I did not make this cartoon, historical sources and the truth are important ofcourse, yes they didnt have to make him look like that.
@OttomanTotalWar Pfft, the first 10 seconds is even incorrect. "Constantinople was a fortress and a dangerous threat because of crusades"
First off, Constantinople did not pose a threat to Mehmed or his empire in any way whatsoever. Mehmed actually swore a oath of peace with the Byzantines, in which he broke.
Second, the Bosporus and the Hellespont were heavily guarded by fortresses and cannons. There was NO WAY ANY force (Crusader or Non-Crusader) could get to Constantinople
@mkultraviolent I am not defending rapists and murderers I write here the real history against lies about ottoman empire.
All the byzantine churches exist, go search it in google if you dont believe.
Ottomans did not massacre constantinople population and that was never their intention, they offered many times a peacefull surrender, after the conquest they allowed the christians to remain in the city.
What did greeks in 1821? every city they captured, muslims were raped and killed.
@OttomanTotalWar 'Ottomans were an medieval empire and they had all right to conquer new lands'. As much as the Xtian thugs who raped and murdered your ancestors or just the ones who share your race/religion? You can pick and choose facts to back up your bullshit revisionist history until Allah shits a turd in your mouth but it doesn't change the facts. Are the Israelis tolerant of Islam just because the Dome of the Rock is still standing? No. All religions were built on blood and lies.
@mkultraviolent I said everyone had the right to conquer, but nobody had the right to rape, kill, change religion or destruction, I only meant conquest was normal and it was normal. Kings and rulers tried to create empire but if they treated the conquered people very bad, yes that is wrong but as you see. Ottomans treated everyone good, no massacre or forced religion change or slavery.
Religions were not built on lies or blood, you can say that christianity was very violent but others not.
@OttomanTotalWar ....and that includes Islam, Judaism, & Xtianity. All of them built on lies & equally retarded IMO. The Ottoman empire contributed a ton to culture & knowledge for almost 600 years until white thugs decided to carve it up and steal the oil after WWI. Empires do evil shit. Mehmed's army was no different. They weren't nice guys on a peace mission. They were thugs just like the Romans before & after Xtianity infected the empire. And the crusaders. And the conquistadors.
@OttomanTotalWar ...and just like America does now. I live in America and most people don't like to hear the facts about our government being total pieces of shit. The truth sucks. Most Americans I know don't know jack shit about Islam, have never read a page of the Quran, yet they still want our government to kill all muslims because they're too fucking stupid to realize the 1 billion followers of Islam aren't all al Qaeda agents. Just like there are Muslims who deny their atrocities.
@OttomanTotalWar ...just like Xtians who deny most of their bullshit religion was stolen from Mithricism, paganism, & worship of Dionysus. Most people don't know that the Jews didn't write anything down until the Babylonian exile because the Babylonians were trying to assimilate them into their culture. The Epic of Gilgamesh was written 1,000 years before the Jews wrote the Torah during the Babylonian exile. The Jews just ripped off the Babylonian creation narrative of Ea & rewrote it...
@OttomanTotalWar So yes-the Byzantine churches still exist. It doesn't mean Mehmed was a hero. Just like Xtian emperors weren't heros. Constantine I was a murderous thug yet he's a Xtian saint because his bullshit lie about a dream of Christ telling him to paint crosses on his army's shields and go murder people helped yet another faggot religion spread like herpes. The Muslims were tolerant of monotheists. Go ask the Hindus they massacred for being polytheists how liberal & tolerant they were.
@OttomanTotalWar ...there are pieces of shit of every race & religion and history is littered with them and often defined by them. Islam & Xtianity were spread by the sword-not by some enlightened beacon of truth. It's these bullshit religions that have fucked up the planet and will probably be the death of us all. It's wide spread insanity. The Zionists want to destroy the Dome of the Rock to rebuild Solomon's temple to usher in their Messiah because a bullshit prophecy told them so.
@OttomanTotalWar All these religions are fucked up and insane. People only believe what they were told----propaganda like this cartoon. And as soon as you produce a piece of evidence to the contrary, instead of studying or approaching anything from an academic point of view, they immediately defend their ignorance & prejudice because we were all brainwashed by religions who pretend to know the truth even though they are the primary catalyst for ignorance, hate, & violence throughout history.
@mkultraviolent There is nothing propoganda in this cartoon.
Normally in a cartoon made by ''the West'' the Turks or Ottomans would be shown as bloodthirsty dumb barbarians who only want to kill and are violent monsters.
But this cartoons shows finally for one time the story from the other side, and then people say ''this is propoganda, this is lie'' NO this is not propoganda, people are so brainwashed with hate against Ottomans that when they see something different they can not believe it.
Just because anti-Ottoman propaganda is rife in the West (as you rightly point out), doesn't mean that this cartoon isn't ALSO propaganda -- at least as far as its depiction of Constantine goes.
Look at those ignorant comments of the greeks and christians. Ottomans did not destroy any church of the byzantines and gave them all Religious freedom.
Between 1453-1914 Istanbul population was
50% Muslim
25% Greek
10% Jews
10% Armenian
5% Other
So many religions and people lived in Peace in Ottoman Istanbul.
@OttomanTotalWar you are so write and the proof is that all christians and their churches still exist. but i don't know why they don't understand that.... Ottoman empire could destory them all and no body will reject if it wanted so but it didn't....
@Calyptico It was not destroyed, it was changed into a mosque but it has still the original appearance, only minarets are added.
This and other churches were made mosques but still the christians had other churches left, but because Muslims were the new rulers they converted the biggest churches.
@OttomanTotalWar & @saqibtarazi --- You two inbreds do your faith no honor. All the muslims I've met were educated, unlike you. Its DOCUMENTED HISTORY, NOT A FUCKING OPINION. Do you take any criticism of a muslim as an attack on your faith? Are you that stupid? Do you think Allah smiles upon you when you blindly defend rapists & murderers in spite of the facts just because they were muslim? Do you know anything about this subject beyond this propaganda bullshit? Shut the fuck up and read a book.
@mkultraviolent 1. Like all ignorant people, you know nothing, Ottomans were an medieval empire and they had all right to conquer new lands, that was completely normal in those times.
2. In a time when in Europe christians were savagely killing each other because freedom of religion did not exist there(Catholic-Protestant)
Ottomans gave freedom of religion to everybody, orthodox, protestant, armenian, catholics, jews all lived in freedom under their rule without violence.
@OttomanTotalWar That's because all of the Christians were killed or deported. Tell me, if Constantinople had that many Muslims inside. Why did they not open the gates? The siege lasted for 40 days.
I AM SO FUCKING IMPRESSED. This is what would be on Sunday morning cartoons if Pat Robertson were muslim. I've never seen such high-quality convoluted, revisionist-history propaganda bullshit. It's so cool to know other cultures can brainwash their kids like we do here in America. I'm gonna bet they left out the three days of RAPE, MURDER, & THEFT at the end of this cartoon. Just a wild guess.
@mkultraviolent Dear be aware with the character of roman empire, lot of stories of RAPE, MURDERS and THEFT. Please whenever you open your mouth first see your face in the mirror.
@saqibtarazi we find faith that limits individual freedom and is subject to interpretations of men to be evil... you live in that realm. You are blinded by faith and live as slaves to it, yet there is no truth to your faith. It is a fraud.
@Trenz73 please read the history of your frauds. Brutality in Africa, British colonial system in India, massacre in afghanistan and iraq. Dron attacks on innocent people of wazirastan except terrorists in pakistan. Bogus G 8.
@saqibtarazi and you can't realize your dreams because Islam is retrograde and Mohammed is the anti-christ.. you're all fucked with him as your spiritual guide.
@Trenz73 Mohammad is not the anti christ, he loves, and he said that the christ will come again in the world. I think you always believe only on gossips. please update your knowledge. Christ is our messenger from god but the ever last messenger is Mohammad. Added you are also disobeying your Christ.
@saqibtarazi The anti-christ is he who claims to be the messenger of god who isn't. It was prophesied before Mohammed and he became what was warned against. Look at your backwards ways... that is proof enough. You are unable to adapt and live in the modern world without pissing everyone off by trying to make the world Islam. You kill in the name of peace. Backwards and evil just like your prophet.
@Trenz73 Yes offcourse the christ is the prophet and we respect him. You are also killing million of muslims to let the resources of oil. Dear please read the Quran you will convert into islam. Regards
@saqibtarazi Chris was not a prophet. He was the son of God. The anti-christ is he who diminishes the Christs role and puts himself as the voice of God. That is what your Mohammed did. He is the anti-Christ and those who follow his teachings have been subject to this delusion ever since. The rest of the world sees this and will never convert. You will bring us all down with your need to commit jihad on those who don't convert according to your scripture. Only the anti-Christ can cause.
This video is a hoot. James Bond, move over for "Special Agent Achmed!"
Of course the citizens of Constantinople were impoverished, what with the Turks strangling the city's supply routes...
What's amazing is the massive casualties its outnumbered defenders were nonetheless able to inflict on the Turks in the process of being slaughtered. Bad-mouth Emperor Constantine XI all you like, he died fighting for his city; I'm sure that Leonidas and his 300 Spartans were somewhere, watching in approval.
Please read "The 100 A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTROY" your a christian admits and declared the Muhammad( Peace be upon him) Top of all. Islam is not only spread by the sword but also is spread by the preaching. Your knowlege leflicts only one side. We proud to be Muslim and at last we will rule you AND ALL THE WORLD.
@Trenz73 Yes you rule only your shiti brain.Wait and see what happens in a few years.İts not only believe.İts faith of europa to going in to the stage of middleage.
The attention of Phanariotes was concentrated on occupying the most favorable offices the Empire could offer, but also to the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, which were still relatively rich, and more importantly, autonomous (despite having to pay tribute as vassal states). Many Greeks had found there favorable conditions for commercial activities, by far more advantageous when compared with the difficultes inside the Ottoman Empire, and also an opportunity to gain political power.
Turks must be the only people in history who liberated people from themselves. Bulgarians from the Bulgarians, Armenians from the Armenians, Greeks from the Greeks and so on. A little slaughter and devastation along the way but what the heck, freedom comes at a price. Ridiculous. Not even Hitler didn't have such a perverted view of his actions. You people are in desperate need of therapy at a national level... Or of some other people liberating you from yourselves.
i laugh my ass off whenver i see anti-muslim comments on EVERY ottoman video i watch on youtube. IF U HATE ISLAM SO MUCH WHY THE FUCK ARE U WATCHING THESE THEN????if the only point is to leave hate comments on u guys seriously need to get out then XD
@SpartanWarrior169 Yeah come and get your mother land back... Arent you shamed? So called sons of Spartans sons of Alexander the Great.... They would have spit on your faces. We welcome you to have war with us.
This film is hilarious. Very amateur attempt at religious propaganda. Hysterical !! It's defies very single academic conclusion about the event surrounding and during the Fall of Constantinople (even Muslim sources!). Emperor Constantine XI is not only an official National Hero in Hellas (Greece; with a huge statue in Athens) he is a Martyr Saint to 350 million+ Orthodox Christians. The Ottoman Sultan was a confirmed pedophile and rapist of children (like the Profit Muhammad). Backwards people.
What a joke . Ottomans came to free people of Constantinope? After they conquered the city they plundered raped and killed a lot of people...The ottomans did the same in the Balkans that's way every nation in the balkans hate the ottomans incliding albanians wich are muslim moust of them...
Actually, the world as you enjoy it today is only civilized because of the Twin Pillars of Civilization, namely Roman Law and Christianity. Islam is a watered down version of Christianity that came much later. It is a war-like religion, not peaceful (as liars will say). You are clearly ignorant (as everyone but you must realize). Your choose of words marks you as such. After all, if you were intelligent you'd realize this about yourself . Self awareness. Oh, and fuck you too
@nikoz78 No. It's civilized by law and morals. The majority of things we enjoy today, human rights, science, the knowledge that we are not the center of the universe, that we rotate around the sun, the earth is round, etc. intelligence was frowned upon by Christians. People who thought these things were even hunted down, killed, or destroyed by Christians, y'know. The Pope. It was until what? The 90's that Galileo was forgiven by the Vatican.

Nonsense! Konstantine XI was a kind, virtuous king, desperately guarding the last flickering candle of Christian civilisation in what had become a savage, dark wilderness of oriental Muhammadanism. See how a Christian's sword is straight and two edged, as a Christian is honest and fair. The Saracen's blade is wickedly curved and only cuts one way, representing his crooked, capricious, shiftless philosophy. The Marble Emperor will come again, and Constantinople will be Christian once more.

Many people make the mistake, thinking that the Byzantine Empire was very powerfull and very civilized, this is not true.
The Golden Age of the Byzantines was in the reign of Justinian, in the 6th century, after 6th century Byzantines lost most of their empire to the Arabs, Slavs. The Capital Constantinople was a dozen times besieged. After losing Anatolia to the Turks, the Byzantines were dying empire, in 1204 Crusaders captured Constantinople. IN 1453 SO CALLED BYZANTINE ''EMPIRE'' WAS A TOWN
OttomanTotalWar 6 months ago
@OttomanTotalWar Um,the Byzantine Empire was at its pinnacle in the 10th century A.D. and up until the 13th century it was the world's wealthiest empire.The fact that the Greco-Romans,contrary to the Western empire,fended off barbarian raids through civilizing their aggressors does not undermine the indisputable preponderance of that empire.
JeanMaria93 6 months ago
@OttomanTotalWar In 1453 the Empire was small, but that doesn't mean it was never powerful. It had large periods of power, not only under Justinian but also under Constantine I, Theodosius, Basil II, Nikephoros Phokas, Tzimiskes, the Komnenian dynasty etc. They contolled territories that today belong to a lot of different countries (+10). Constantinople alone was wealthier than the whole of medieval Europe before the Crusades. By 1025 AD, Basil II had in the imperial treasury 91 tons of gold.

And they were 1000x more civilized then the Muslim world is today. In most Muslim country's you still fucking stone people and kill non-Muslims. I know this isn't the case in Turkey, But that is only because Turkey became heavily westernized after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

@crk416 The Eastern roman empire evolved into something different, the byzantines, read a book, after the 6th century it changed very much, latin replaced by greek culture changes into orthodox, so itwas not ANYMORE related to ANCIENT ROME, like the Holy Roman Empire of Germany was not related to ancient Rome, it was only in name relationship, it called itself ROMAN empire, but in fact itwas german and so The Byzantines called themselves Romans but they were Orthodox greeks or hellenised.
OttomanTotalWar 8 months ago
@OttomanTotalWar There were many Latin speakers in the Empire. Also, thousands of people could trace their roots back to Roman times. Also, the Byzantine Empire IS related to Rome because it was still a part of the Roman Empire when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476.
The only reason it is not called the Eastern Roman Empire, a name they and their neighbors (Christians and Muslims) gave them, was because a few Renassiance historians called it the Byzantine Empire.

Second, the Bosporus and the Hellespont were heavily guarded by fortresses and cannons. There was NO WAY ANY force (Crusader or Non-Crusader) could get to Constantinople

@Calyptico It was not destroyed, it was changed into a mosque but it has still the original appearance, only minarets are added.
This and other churches were made mosques but still the christians had other churches left, but because Muslims were the new rulers they converted the biggest churches.

@OttomanTotalWar & @saqibtarazi --- You two inbreds do your faith no honor. All the muslims I've met were educated, unlike you. Its DOCUMENTED HISTORY, NOT A FUCKING OPINION. Do you take any criticism of a muslim as an attack on your faith? Are you that stupid? Do you think Allah smiles upon you when you blindly defend rapists & murderers in spite of the facts just because they were muslim? Do you know anything about this subject beyond this propaganda bullshit? Shut the fuck up and read a book.

@mkultraviolent 1. Like all ignorant people, you know nothing, Ottomans were an medieval empire and they had all right to conquer new lands, that was completely normal in those times.
2. In a time when in Europe christians were savagely killing each other because freedom of religion did not exist there(Catholic-Protestant)
Ottomans gave freedom of religion to everybody, orthodox, protestant, armenian, catholics, jews all lived in freedom under their rule without violence.

@OttomanTotalWar That's because all of the Christians were killed or deported. Tell me, if Constantinople had that many Muslims inside. Why did they not open the gates? The siege lasted for 40 days.

I AM SO FUCKING IMPRESSED. This is what would be on Sunday morning cartoons if Pat Robertson were muslim. I've never seen such high-quality convoluted, revisionist-history propaganda bullshit. It's so cool to know other cultures can brainwash their kids like we do here in America. I'm gonna bet they left out the three days of RAPE, MURDER, & THEFT at the end of this cartoon. Just a wild guess.

@Trenz73 Mohammad is not the anti christ, he loves, and he said that the christ will come again in the world. I think you always believe only on gossips. please update your knowledge. Christ is our messenger from god but the ever last messenger is Mohammad. Added you are also disobeying your Christ.
saqibtarazi 1 year ago
@saqibtarazi The anti-christ is he who claims to be the messenger of god who isn't. It was prophesied before Mohammed and he became what was warned against. Look at your backwards ways... that is proof enough. You are unable to adapt and live in the modern world without pissing everyone off by trying to make the world Islam. You kill in the name of peace. Backwards and evil just like your prophet.

saqibtarazi 1 year ago
@saqibtarazi Chris was not a prophet. He was the son of God. The anti-christ is he who diminishes the Christs role and puts himself as the voice of God. That is what your Mohammed did. He is the anti-Christ and those who follow his teachings have been subject to this delusion ever since. The rest of the world sees this and will never convert. You will bring us all down with your need to commit jihad on those who don't convert according to your scripture. Only the anti-Christ can cause.

This video is a hoot. James Bond, move over for "Special Agent Achmed!"
Of course the citizens of Constantinople were impoverished, what with the Turks strangling the city's supply routes...
What's amazing is the massive casualties its outnumbered defenders were nonetheless able to inflict on the Turks in the process of being slaughtered. Bad-mouth Emperor Constantine XI all you like, he died fighting for his city; I'm sure that Leonidas and his 300 Spartans were somewhere, watching in approval.

Yet another Muslim lie. Constantinople wasn't perfect, but a much better place for Christians to live.
Islam is always spread by the sword (as this film ironically admits).

The attention of Phanariotes was concentrated on occupying the most favorable offices the Empire could offer, but also to the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, which were still relatively rich, and more importantly, autonomous (despite having to pay tribute as vassal states). Many Greeks had found there favorable conditions for commercial activities, by far more advantageous when compared with the difficultes inside the Ottoman Empire, and also an opportunity to gain political power.
JIMY45GR 1 year ago
Turks must be the only people in history who liberated people from themselves. Bulgarians from the Bulgarians, Armenians from the Armenians, Greeks from the Greeks and so on. A little slaughter and devastation along the way but what the heck, freedom comes at a price. Ridiculous. Not even Hitler didn't have such a perverted view of his actions. You people are in desperate need of therapy at a national level... Or of some other people liberating you from yourselves.

This film is hilarious. Very amateur attempt at religious propaganda. Hysterical !! It's defies very single academic conclusion about the event surrounding and during the Fall of Constantinople (even Muslim sources!). Emperor Constantine XI is not only an official National Hero in Hellas (Greece; with a huge statue in Athens) he is a Martyr Saint to 350 million+ Orthodox Christians. The Ottoman Sultan was a confirmed pedophile and rapist of children (like the Profit Muhammad). Backwards people.

Actually, the world as you enjoy it today is only civilized because of the Twin Pillars of Civilization, namely Roman Law and Christianity. Islam is a watered down version of Christianity that came much later. It is a war-like religion, not peaceful (as liars will say). You are clearly ignorant (as everyone but you must realize). Your choose of words marks you as such. After all, if you were intelligent you'd realize this about yourself . Self awareness. Oh, and fuck you too
nikoz78 1 year ago
@nikoz78 No. It's civilized by law and morals. The majority of things we enjoy today, human rights, science, the knowledge that we are not the center of the universe, that we rotate around the sun, the earth is round, etc. intelligence was frowned upon by Christians. People who thought these things were even hunted down, killed, or destroyed by Christians, y'know. The Pope. It was until what? The 90's that Galileo was forgiven by the Vatican.
