Japan’s PM Sanae Takaichi says having more children, not increasing immigration, is the key to solving Japan’s population decline. She also criticized foreigners who don’t respect Japanese culture. Globalists were so angry they tried to talk over her and stop her from speaking.

Then stretched I forth my hand a little forward, And plucked a branchlet off from a great thorn; And the trunk cried, "Why dust thou mangle me?"

When Muslims killed Greek Bishop Gerasimos of Rethymno in 1821, they opened his chest, removed his heart, and sprinkled their banners with its blood in order to achieve victories against the infidels. The entire description of the incident directly evokes cannibalism from a primitive era. (Theochares Detorakis, "History of Crete") Apart from the official executions, there were also the mass slaughters of Christian populations in cases where the Islamic-Ottoman state wanted to demonstrate its power. The main pretext for the massacres was reprisals against revolutionary movements. Alongside the official figures who were publicly executed (bishops, notables, etc.), unruly hordes of Janissaries would rush into Christian homes, break down doors, kill anyone they found in front of them, and then plunder the house, seizing whatever they liked. When leaving, in many cases they also set the house on fire. Now, the hooks or "tsigkelia", as the Muslim Turks called them. On the walls of cities or on specially erected scaffolds, large hooks with sharp, sharpened points were fixed. The naked victim was thrown onto the hooks from high up on the walls or was hoisted up with special pulleys and dropped onto the hooks of the scaffolds. There he remained impaled for days, tormented by terrible pains until he finally expired. If, moreover, the hooks had not pierced a vital organ, the torture could last several days. Historical accounts mention the presence of such a scaffold with hooks in the central square of Heraklion (Candia), where many Cretans, mainly rebels, met their tragic end. One torture that the Muslim Turks carried out when they had no time for anything else was the breaking of limbs. They usually did this to prisoners they had captured in the countryside and did not want to transport to the city for something "more entertaining," either because they were in a hurry or because they did not want to take on the risks of a possible transfer. With an axe they smashed the main joints of the victim's limbs (shoulder, elbow, hip, knee) and several bones (humerus, femur, tibia). The victim was then unable to move at all, while terrible pains shook his body from the shattered joints. The executioners left him helpless and departed, so that he would die a few hours or at most two days later, or become prey to wild animals in the wilderness. An equally torture is that of beheading. The Ottoman lords even had a well-known proverb on their lips: "A head that does not bow falls." The execution of the sentence was carried out in public view by a specialized executioner called "makelaris" (a Greek-Byzantine word meaning "butcher" that derives from ancient Greek), with the well-known curved Ottoman sword, the "yataghan". The victim arrived at the place of slaughter ridiculed and publicly shamed. Before the execution he had, as a rule, been beaten and often mutilated. The punishment itself was painless and instantaneous, but the entire preceding process made it agonizing. The body and head remained exposed for days, just as in the other tortures we mentioned earlier. Often the victim's head was impaled on a pole and paraded through the city, especially if the victim happened to be an officially wanted person (e.g., Ali Pasha). Other times it was preserved and sent to the Sultan himself, as happened with the head of Ali Pasha. Still other times the head remained hung or impaled in a prominent position for days, until the natural decomposition of its features began. The torture of beheading is naturally connected with the fate of the Four Martyrs. The Synaxarion of the Saints confirms everything I have said so far. After harsh tortures and public humiliation through the streets of Rethymno, the Saints (Manuel, Angelos, George and Nicholas) ended up in the square of the Great Gate, which today bears their name in their honor, to be beheaded. This is recent history. Tortures ended almost 200 years before when we destroyed the Ottoman Empire. And if you think they changed, you should start reading their comments on my posts or the reposts. This is who they are. This is Islam - Homer Pavlos

The most common torture inflicted by the Muslims during the Ottoman period was whipping. The usual victims were the Christians. It was the introductory torment in every other torture, so common in the persecutions of Christians that the phrase became proverbial: "I will whip you until you change your faith." The victim was tied with exposed back, their clothes torn, and the whipping began. The executioners were usually Turkish soldiers with robust physiques, so that the blows were both critical and powerful. The number of blows was either predetermined by the court or (most of the time) left to the discretion of the executioners. Muslim judges (qadis) observed the torture. If the victim showed that they could not endure the completion of the number of blows and their life was in immediate danger, then the judge placed the Quran under the executioner's armpit. Unable to raise his arm high (since the holy text must not fall to the ground), he delivered the remaining blows with less intensity. After the whipping, the victim was often left helpless without care, or thrown into prison. In most cases, permanent disabilities remained on the body. Also, one of the harshest tortures of the Ottoman Muslims was impalement. Crowds surrounded the victim and mocked them, suggesting they convert to Islam and insulting their faith, family, and nationality. The stakes were set up in a specific area, usually in the village or town square. The victim was dragged there in public humiliation, as usual. After being severely whipped, their clothes were torn, their hands were tied tightly behind their back, and they were "seated" on the stake. Then weights were hung on their legs so that they would slide down and be skewered on the stake. In many cases, the sadism did not end with skewering the victim. The spit (with the victim on it) was placed horizontally over a fire or burning coals, and the victim was roasted alive like a lamb. The fearsome and terrible Ali Pasha of Ioannina was famous for slowly roasting his victims, thinning the coals under them to prolong the agony and the entertainment of himself and his entourage. In many cases, he forced relatives to torture and kill their own kin to avoid impalement and roasting themselves. I have an interesting story to tell you on my next post. Stay tuned. I know what you are thinking. The religion of peace.
