Secondly, a Bulgarian friend of mine was explaining to me quite passionately how the Ottamans destroyed their country, including forcing people to convert to Islam and burning people who didn't. Were these kind of tactics commonly used by the Ottamans? I can understand Bulgarians may be taught a certain 'version' of history, however, I doubt if it is all false. Any insight?

This is absolutely incorrect. Ottomans never coerced any nation to accept Islam. That's why we have so many Churches throughout the lands where Ottoman was able to lay their hands on. Long generation of non-Muslims in the midst of Turkey is also prove to that.

Brother Colonel_Hardstone,

May Allah reward you for all of your beautiful messages regarding Ottoman history. Your words put my heart in tears.

Jazakumullahu khairan kathira!
