Islamic Army Attacks on Bukhara and the Resistance of Kıbaç Hatun

Greetings to everyone, dear people. In this video, I'll tell you about the first attack on the Turks, carried out by the Islamic armies.

The first attack on the Turks. The Islamic armies never get enough plunder, friends.

Plunder all the time. Since they live off plunder, they don't produce anything either.

They just go in and raid, taking what people have, what they've made, their hard- earned wages, then carrying it away.

They give one- fifth to their leader and distribute four- fifths among the people who took part in the raid, the soldiers.

And so, this kind of thing happens to the Turks too.

The Turks live along the banks of the Oxus and Jaxartes rivers.

There is a Turkish community living in the city of Bukhara.

In 674, the governor of Khorasan targets this Turkish community.

The governor of Khorasan launches an attack.

This governor of Khorasan is Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad.

Muawiya's governor, as you can understand.

He arrives and enters Bukhara. Bukhara, as I said, is ruled by Kıbaç Hatun.

Facing the attack, Kıbaç Hatun expects help from the other Turks.

But sadly, when no help comes, she can't do much.

But she isn't completely defeated either.

She resists bravely and repels their attacks.

But the Islamic armies withdraw again with some booty.

Later, the same place is attacked again, this time by Osman— yes, Caliph Osman— Caliph Osman’s son, Said bin Osman, attacks Bukhara again with an army, folks.

He attacks Bukhara again. Because the Turks produce things there and trade.

It lies on the Silk Road and is wealthy.

The Islamic armies absolutely want to take control of those places.

Here, Osman’s son Said bin Osman arrives with a large army.

Since neither Kıbaç Hatun nor Hatun had any other choice, they had to make a deal with them, and those bastards agreed.

According to legend, they took thirty thousand young Turks captive and took fifteen or twenty young men from the nobles to sell them at the market.

They took them and left. Osman's son. We give our children names like Osman, you know.

Like Said, for instance. Said, Osman's son, Said bin Osman.

They treated these captured Turks in a despicable way.

They constantly humiliated them. But thirty or forty of them couldn't stomach this captivity, for the sake of their honor and dignity.

They made a pact among themselves. They followed Osman's son, Said bin Osman, and what did they do, pouncing on him?

They hacked him to pieces. If they had known their descendants today would be named after those murderers, would they have done it, I wonder?

And these young people flee to the mountains, of course.

When they flee, the Islamic armies surround them.

They leave them in the mountains without food or water.

They can't go anywhere, and so they leave them to die.

So what happens to us? What happens to us?

Because a certain group among us makes a living off this, friends.

Theologians, religious communities, community leaders, religious order leaders.

They exploit our people, exploit them. They suck their blood.

They're so heartless, they take everything people have.

By frightening them, frightening them with the fear of hell.

And look, developments in Arabia have made our lot start itching.

They've started scratching. Those scoundrels have started scratching.

Why? Because their livelihood is going to be taken away.
