His mother was a Christian princess and he was raised with Christian customs as well. He could not slaughter the Christian folk of the Constantineapolis due to his mother's words. He used to visit orthodox churces and join the rites and this was not approved by the citizens. He always felt close to the Christian people but could not betray the Islamic foundations of his ancestor's empire. This is the reason he tried to vitalize the eastern Roman empire. --JohnEmerald 16:14, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC) an ottoman sultan raised with christian customs. that is a new one. after all the opinions written with the influence of nationalism as the facts under the titles about ottomans(not all of them), this is a really different one, but again at least this is under the discussion page.
