Was Ottoman really so fair?

[Anonymous]

Some people in the middle east claim that when Ottoman was so powerful, it had real justice and middle east was very stable.

But when USA got the power, it always divided and made demonic plans, and wars never stopped.

Ottoman had real justice

Not great but much more fair than USA

Of course No, Ottoman was barbaric and full of violence and shit

From what I understand (because the history there is pretty complicated) they tried to be a version of what America is today but financial issues put pressure on the country and then they were essentially forced into doing the crusades which even that topic is very controversial and honestly both sides kinda have good and bad arguments to me.

I think they actually tried too hard to be fair and it made it easy for their country to be destabilized so they were constantly operating like a Kansas city quarter back on their back foot throwing crossbody.

It's only going to work for so long.

Useful for you to actually study the history of the Ottoman Empire. It did provide a central authority for Muslims and did enable prosperity, art and architecture. Erdogan would like to see it restored to some extent, just as Putin would the Soviet Empire. It would not hurt my feelings if it partly re-emerged. Turkey, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Saudi, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar. A central authority would tame them.
