Furthermore, in my opinion, colonial era that embodied destructing native cultures and languages, plundering resources, and enslaving people by force, constitute the major elements of genocide whether you might like to name them otherwise or not. In that sense, one could also conclude the interpretation of Christianity in various Christian countries have been far more violent than any other religion that ever exited in the world.
Thus, please note than more than 10 million Ottoman Muslims were forced to migrate to the "inner locations" of Ottoman Empire between 1780s and 1920s. During the same period, the losses of the Ottoman Muslims were far higher than the Armenian, the Assyrian or the Greek ones due to forced migration, mass slaughters and organized plunders. So tell me, do you think that you could name these events as genocides, or will you (I refer here to the Christian nations in general) continue to name them as historical events triggered by the natural hatred against the world famous "Ottoman Yoke"?
Finally, I would like to ask why you try to promote hatred against Islam in this thread? In my opinion, it is not some nice mindset for the people who seek for the recognition of a genocide.
