105 years later, they still refuse to recognize it. Historians generally mark the beginning of the Armenian Genocide with the arrest of 250 Armenian intellectuals by Turkish authorities on April 24, 1915. What followed that fateful date is one of the single greatest tragedies in human history: a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing, mass deportation, […]
Turkey accused of hiding Ottoman-era evidence of the Armenian Genocide
The Turks continue to deny that they committed genocide of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Christians of the nation. Here, however, is more proof that the Ottoman government knew what was happening and approved. The Christians were kuffar harbi — Infidels at war with Islam — for wanting independence, and hence under Islamic law their […]
The Thirty-Year Genocide in Turkey
Lindsey Graham was criticized last week for blocking a Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, and deservedly so. Despite the well-financed efforts of successive Turkish governments to convince the world that there never was an Armenian genocide, but only some clashes between the Ottomans and Armenians who “treacherously” took the side of Russia during the […]
Turks irked, condemn House resolution on Armenian Genocide, say Turkey is “last wall between Europe and terrorism”
A wall, or a door? “‘Turkey last wall between Europe and terrorism,’” Yeni Safak, November 3, 2019: Turkey is the last wall standing between Europe and terrorism, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday. “Turkey is protecting not only its own borders, but also the borders of NATO. Turkey’s security is the security of all […]
Ilhan Omar and the Armenian Genocide
When Congress recently voted on a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, the vote was lopsided in favor, 405 in favor, 11 against, with 3 voting “present.” One of those voting “present” was Ilhan Omar, the Muslim Congresswoman from Minnesota. Just a few days before, there had been a different vote involving Turkey, calling for sanctions […]
Armenian Assembly: Omar’s Refusal to Acknowledge Armenian Genocide Doesn’t Represent “Muslim Values”
My latest in PJ Media: In reporting on the refusal of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Ankara) to vote for a House resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide, NBC News quoted Van Krikorian, the co-chair of the Armenian Assembly of America, saying that Omar’s “votes and actions…do not represent the best of American or Muslim values. Innocent people […]
Ilhan Omar refuses to vote for Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide
“A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include both the heinous genocides of the 20th century, along with earlier mass slaughters like the transatlantic slave trade and Native American genocide, which took the lives of hundreds of millions of indigenous people in this country.” All right. And how about we also add the […]
Colm Gillis: The West Owes “an Immense Debt to Islam” (Part 2)
Colm Gilllis continues his attempt to eviscerate Boris Johnson for daring to suggest, 12 years ago, that Islam is the cause of Muslim lands falling behind the West: Johnson is correct that many Muslim-majority nations are beset by social and political problems. Yet the same holds true for numerous Christian-majority nations such as Russia, Honduras, […]
Turkey 1894-1924: “Deliberate, state-engineered genocide aided by Muslim clerics and the Muslim-majority population”
“The Turks and their helpers murdered, straightforwardly or indirectly, through privation and disease, between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians between 1894 and 1924.” And the Turks still deny that they did it. Disinformation and ignorance continue to cloud this issue. Even in this article, Kemal Ataturk refers to himself as a “mujahid,” that is, a […]
