Can Anyone tell me about the religion of the Ottoman Empire? I"m too lazy to take a trip to Wikipedia. Thanks, that would be grand.
hmm, thank you. However, wikipedia is telling me that it started out as an empire for christianity, in which the rulers were atheistic and ruled as "chrstian caesars." Thanks for the info, I'll see what wiki's deal is, unless it only started out christian, and now the seljuk turks are islamic now, which they are. Yes, that may be it. Anyway, thankee sais.
It all depends on when you mean. For the first thousand years it's a bit hazy, but after that it's almost exclusively Muslim. Including, of course, the time of the Crusades.
I'm not sure that's the issue, seeing as someone did look it up for me. Thank you for the thought though, I'll remember it on my deathbed.
