They forced the children of the places they invaded to serve in their army. They took them as slaves after murdering their families.

And each Sultan has hundrends of women, many teen girls as sexual slaves. And yet whenever they mention the collapse of their Islamic empire Arabs attribute it to women intervening in rule? It had nothing to do with excessive indulgence in sex and wealth?

It had nothing to do with the fact that they banned printed books by the time Europe was flourishing scientifically? all because the Quran was not "mushakal" in the printed version. No Arabic vowels in westerner printers at the time.

There is no empire in history that was great in a moral sense.
