Ottoman Period and Christian Relations

And their Muslim rulers didn't do that during the Ottoman period?

Okay, so the answer is no.

The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period.

They were very kind to Christians.

As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites.

They had rebuilt Islamic authorities, rebuilt the Church of the Sepulcher three different

times over the centuries.

They had a law protecting Christian pilgrims on their journey.

Like, nobody messed with the Ottoman Turks.

The Muslim rulers of the Holy Land rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulcher three times?

Three times.

Yeah, either completely rebuilt it or a major renovation one time it caught on fire and

they redid the roof.

But if you've seen the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, you can imagine what it took to

redo that.
