Turks and Kurds being victimized.

The Asia Minor section in this article makes the reader feel as if the Turks and Kurds were the victims. Turks and Kurds being responsible for the genocides of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks are intentionally left out. This is an act of genocide denial and the erasing of history.Late Ottoman genocides 103.151.188.35 (talk) 11:05, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't change the fact Greeks and Armenians killed and burned down millions of Turks in Anatolia and Balkans. 85.103.228.167 (talk) 16:38, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OR and misrepresentation of sources. A propaganda page

Under Nazi Germany heading, the editor wrote:

"In Erquinvillers, another major massacre was committed against captured Muslim Senegalese troops by Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS troops." (Source cited [sic] "Hitler's African Victims: The German Army Massacres of Black French Soldiers" page 124)

I just read the full page of the supposed source. Neither Senegal nor Muslim is mentioned on that page [1]. I've lost family members in that War and I find it quite shocking that this propaganda page has been allowed to stand for this long. Please do not use my death relatives for this propaganda page. I've tagged that section for failed verification and I'm tagging this article for OR. If they can misrepresent the author into such a way and conflating that the so-called "persecution of Muslims" were actually others fighting back and defending themselves against Muslims who were persecuting them (like many have expressed over the years about this article), this calls into question the credibility of this entire propaganda article as many have warned would happen in the 2005 AfD. See the AfD delete !votes [2]. Everyone now wants to be a victim of persecution, even the ones doing this persecuting! There are real people and religions who have been persecuted for centuries and still is going on. This is not one of them. If you look at all the claims on this article about their supposed persecution, dig deeper and you will find out that, they were the agressor and persecutor, and the others were defending themselves and fighting back for being persecuted by the Muslims. This has been expressed here numerous times and on the AfD but people refused to see through this and they are using this project to advance Islamic propagada. They were not the victims, but the ones doing the persecuting. 2A00:23C7:E563:1700:EAFC:78C3:863F:2F98 (talk) 04:47, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
