PanARMENIAN.Net - Following the defeat of Muslim forces in Austria in 1683, Muslim power declined, and Islam became relatively quiescent. The Armenian genocide of 1894-96 carried out by the Ottoman Turks against Armenian and Greek Christians, however, reminded a horrified Western world that Islam had a cruel, intolerant, and violent side. More than 250,000 Christians were slaughtered or murdered by rampaging Muslim mobs and Turkish soldiers, Mike Scruggs says an article on The Tribune Papers.

Leonard M. “Mike” Scruggs is a decorated war veteran, award winning author. His books include The Un-Civil War: Truths Your Teacher Never Told You (2006) and Lessons From the Vietnam War: Truths the Media Never Told You (2009). He writes weekly commentaries for the Asheville Tribune, Hendersonville Tribune in North Carolina and The Times Examiner in South Carolina. He is recipient of the North Carolina Society of Historians prestigious D. T. Smithwick Award for Excellence.

An Armenian survivor described the slaughter of refugees at a church in ancient Edessa, Mesopotamia: “After breaking down the door, Turkish troops mockingly called for Christ to prove himself a greater prophet than Allah.” Then according to the survivor, “They began killing everyone on the floor of the church by hand or with pistols. From the altar they gunned down women and children in the gallery. Finally the Turks gathered bedding and straw, on which they poured some thirty cans of kerosene and set the church ablaze.”
In 1915, another outbreak of anti-Christian violence in Turkey took the lives of 1.5 million Christians. A German missionary later reported that 549 villages were laid waste and the surviving inhabitants forcibly converted to Islam. A total of 21 protestant pastors and 170 Gregorian (Armenian) priests were subjected to unspeakable tortures before being murdered for refusing to denounce their faith and accept Islam, Scruggs says.
After the defeat of the Turkish dominated Ottoman Empire by Allied Forces in the First World War, most of the Middle East initially fell under the control of Britain and France. There began a half century of increasing Western secular influence in the Middle East. The commercial and military leadership class became especially secularized. The development of the region’s petroleum resources and the billions of dollars of oil money pouring into Iran, Iraq, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia initially tended to accelerate secularization.
Nevertheless, the author says, there was a third genocide of Armenian and Greek Christians in Turkey in 1922 and 1923 that claimed one million lives. Several hundred thousand Christians were eventually able to make it to safety in Britain and the United States, and only about 100,000 remained in Turkey.
In 1923, Turkey broke away from Allied dominance and became became a Republic. Mustafa Kemal “Ataturk” (an honorary title meaning “Father Turk”) became its first president. He abolished the Ottoman Caliphate and its authority over Islam and established a policy of Westward-looking secularism. Ataturk died in office in 1938.
However, Scruggs says, following the Second World War, many factors began to accumulate that tended to discredit secularism and Western influences in the Middle East. The vast majority of the people did not profit much from the enormous wealth of oil. Many Muslims also began to look at Western secular values and question the desirability of their influence. Increased literacy in the region worked to encourage greater Muslim interest in the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad. Badly needed democratic reforms often worked to increase the visibility and influence of fundamentalist Muslim clergy and scholars, Scruggs says.
In 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood, advocating a return to early Muslim teachings and Islamist government, was founded by Egyptian schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna. The Brotherhood despised the West and the secularized and westernized leadership of the Egyptian government and frequently made their points by violence. The Muslim Brotherhood has become one of the most influential advocates of Islamic government and Jihad in the Sunni Muslim world.
