Or, you know, maybe it's just a good historical example to illustrate the point? Nobody except you even brought up Islam. By the way, if you are Central or Eastern or Southern European, Islam was and is not a "bogeyman" but a very real threat and your direct ancestors have spent a millennium fighting endless wars to defend themselves against the oh-so-irrelevant "long-gone empire", thereby protecting Christianity and preserving their culture and civilization.
You keep telling us to fight Sauron and ignore the orcs. I say: Why not both?
I've noticed a consistent pattern of you trying to steer the conversation away from Islam whenever it's brought up. Even in a case like this, where nobody brought up Islam, you still go into damage control mode and jump in to drop some subtle apologetics. Quite bemusing, actually. I have to wonder what your motivation is though. Are you a Muslim?
I wasn't the one bringing out islam here, it was brought out as the main feature in the long 4Chan post quoted above. I seriously doubt that the author's choice of digging out a marginal (and potentially dubious) historic vignette from the 17th or 18th century Ottoman rule to illustrate his point was really random, he could have chosen from a plethora of examples of more current and relevant events to make his point, for example the widespread use of child prostitution in the Weimar Republic, or the sexualization of children in the
Bela (Kohn) Kun's Hungary.
These western societies were orders of magnitude more degenerate than the Ottomans ever were, their use here would have been far more relevant than an obscure phenomenon from Ottoman times, not just because the dynamics of humiliation thorough degeneracy aimed at children the same as today's, but also because these events took place in western cities, and the actors behind them
are actually the same. And the fact that the 4Chan author consciously avoids naming the architects of this degeneracy in a long post is either a sign of ignorance, of cowardice or of deliberate obfuscation.

The battle against Islam was settled 14 centuries ago by my French Catholic ancestors at Poitiers. Interestingly enough, my French Catholic ancestors were actually allied with the Ottomans for much of the Renaissance and beyond. Without that alliance France might have been completely overrun by the Habsburgs/Anglos, and France might not even have existed today as a nation-state.
As well, it was the fall of the Ottoman Empire (which was as much a target of the globalist architects of WW1 as the three Christian empires of Austria-Hungary, Russia and Germany) that paved the way to the genocide of Christians in Asia Minor and the middle east and the greater Israel project. The Muslim Ottomans were replaced by Domneh freemasons, who went on to massacre millions of Armenians, Greeks and Assyrian Christians.
What I am calling out here is Islam being presented as
the enemy to western right-leaning audiences in a conscious effort to hide the cultural nature of the architects of the degeneracy plaguing the West. Islam in Europe is a consequence, and only a side feature of the Kalergist European great replacement project, which has been constantly used as a misdirection, this is what I've described as the Muslim Spell. Where the fixation on Islam does become a problem is when it diverts nationalists from the real actors behind the destruction of the West, who are willfully amplifying the antagonism towards Islam as they keep the mass migration floodgates open, in a recreation of the Moorish invasion of Spain. The damage would be the same if they brought in 10 million muslim Maghrebans or 10 million Congolese into western Europe.
In any case, the Muslim threat narrative is already receding today, and is now being overtaken by the ChiCom and Russian threat, with the Chinese now being portrayed as Muslim genociders, and their Muslims as victims we need to save, similarly to the narrative from the 1990s vilifying the Serbs. The Chinese Threat is directed mainly at a rght-leaning public, while the Russian Threat is directed at a left-leaning public, although older Boomers are also easily swayed, and the use of the Bezmenov lecture is a prime tool for that manipulation.
