The Moslem sack of Constantinople, May 29^th 1453.  180.000 Muslim troops plus 120 cannon, the first time in history that cannons were used at scale, faced a massive set of Christian-Byzantine walls, with 2 layers, some 11 miles around the city.  Estimates of Byzantine troops vary but no more than 30.000 regular and irregular militia defended the city.  As it was the Muslim cannon did open a breach, but a postern gate left unattended was discovered by Moslem infantry, allowing them inside the inner walls, where the main gates were opened.  Without this bit of ill fortune, the Byzantine garrison may well have survived the siege.  The last Emperor, Constantine XI died defending the breached walls, along with all his troops.  40.000 of the general population were enslaved.  Another 10.000 at least of innocents were killed by the rampaging Moslems.  The Muslim siege and rape of Constantinople was a colossal act of destruction and carnage. 

No sad narrative however given by the ‘Enlightenment’ ‘thinkers’, so fascinated as they were by the Moslem fascism.  Voltaire, Gibbon and the self-proclaimed clever set have nothing to say.  Walter Scott was ignorant of the event. 

No poetic lamentations about streets running with ‘blood up to the knees’ in a slaughter that was 10 times greater than that of Jerusalem in 1099 (the sack of the city by the First Crusade which killed almost entirely, Moslem and Jewish fighters).  Blood up the bridle is an Old Testament assertion of wanton blood and violence in war, it is not to be taken literally except by the ignorant and mal-informed.

No modern demands for reparations or apologies to Christians, by Moslems for the horrific evisceration of one of the world’s greatest ever cities.  No glowering Papal insistence on the acknowledge of Moslem sin. 

No mention in the modern education system of the vast pilfer, slaughter and rapes enjoined by the Moslem hordes of Mehmet II named the ‘Blood Drinker’ (Mehmet is Muhammad in Turkish), upon the Byzantine Christians. 

Steve Weidenkopf in ‘The Glory of the Crusades’ on pages 209 to 212 gives a fair appraisal of what happened.  The Moslem host besieging the last remnant of the 1100 year old Christian Byzantine ‘Greek’ empire was without compare in medieval times.  It was simply gigantic.  The Blood Drinker came to drink the blood of the last Christian city in Eastern Christendom.  The city had a population of perhaps 500.000 in 1453.  No one knows how many fled before the huge Moslem army with its 120-canon arrived in April 1453.  If half stayed, then the 40.000 killed and 40.000 taken as prisoners (many would be women who would be raped in harems) constitutes about 30% of the total population dead or enslaved by the attack.  This is a significantly higher percentage than one finds in similar episodes of medieval warfare.

Weidenkopf: “The Muslem troops ran through the undefended city, slaughtering the inhabitants, stopping just long enough to take the pretty women and children for slaves before dispatching the rest.  Women (including nuns) and boys were savagely raped.”

Modern anti-Christian, anti-White racists, would call this ‘enrichment’.

The Moslem eradication of Eastern ‘Rum’, or Rome, fulfilled the demands first initiated by the cult’s founder, Muhammad.  He wrote a letter to then Emperor Heraclius in 630 AD demanding the surrender and submission of Christian Byzantium to the Moslem moon cult.  Byzantium never fully appreciated the virulent demonic threat posed by the Arab Muslims in their lust for women, gold, booty, civilisation and power.  Long a back-water, the unifying force of the moon cult belief system (Hubaal or Baal); provided the engine of purpose.  Muhammad’s example of leading 80 odd military expeditions and his blood thirst Jihad of war, murder, rape and pillage was the compelling example which drove his successors, including improbably as of 630 AD, converted Turkish tribes, to erase Byzantium.
