Converts...from Islam to Christianity?

[HoreTore]

And because the the Ottoman millet system (and the dhimmi tax under the Arabs in other areas), while tolerant of the existance of other religions, discriminated against them with additional taxes.

Are you going to whine that the Ottomans taxed a heretic a bit more at a time when we were burning the slightest divergence from the true faith at the stake...?

And I would say that the extra tax is covered by what I said, under "because of a better chance to gain power"...

Wich part of the article makes you think that conversion is shoved down their throat?

That part was aimed at christianity in general
