Hello! Here to clarify: The island of Rhode contained pirates that sometimes raided the Ottomans, and the island of Rhode was Christian. The Ottomans exploded the island of Rhode’s foundations using Christians from the devshirme system (Christians who were taken from a young age to be converted to Islam and trained for either military or religious purposes, so were expendable to the Ottomans). The island of Rhode negotiated a truce, meaning the Ottomans had won against the Island of Rhode because they were exhausted from fighting the Ottomans.
50:33 this phrase for the Arabs not all Muslims by the way .. because at the time revealing.. only Arabs were fighting so this was a straight message from God to the Arabs ..
