[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8664258, member: 7030132"] So when can give accurate information about the Ottomans and also greenlight the use of cultural aspects? People from modern day Turkey who thorougly purged Ottoman influence? Syrians? Greek? Albanians? Egyptians? Saudi? Bosnians? Hungarians? Ukrainians from Crimea? Sure the capital and center of power was in Anatolia. But most of the influential Janissary were "drafted" from Greece and the balkans. And that is for a nation that existed in the 20th century and has a more or less obvious successor. The further you go back the more confusing it gets with cultures changing over time (just compare east cost american culture from the 1950s and now for example from everything starting at moral values, stance on the government up to things like the morality if smoking habits) and sometimes got completely replaced. Or to use another example that was brought up. Opium dens. But lets not place them in Istanbul but London where they also existed. After all the British Empire was the largest drug distributor of the 19th century. Back then they were normal. Today most drug use is looked down at and often a crime. So should a sensitivity reader have vetoed the Sherlock Holmes stories which start in a opium den or that casual cocaine use was accepted? Does an english citizen really have more authority about drug use and if works based on Britan are allowed to reference it? [/QUOTE]
