no references & wrong info
Hi, there some wrong info in this article, it says that the tax taken especially from Jews was agreed in parliament in which right-wing party was dominant. At that time there was only one party in Turkey, that being CHP, Ataturk's party. Also in this statement and in a lot of important statements, there are no references.--Utkun (talk) 02:36, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Slander
This article recklessly starts with references of Jews committing "blood libel" against their fellow citizens in Turkey, unsubstantiated and unbelievable. It does NOT say they were ACCUSED, but implies that because some -probably antisemitic- people accused them, they MUST have done these horrific things. Like the Salem WITCH HUNTS, innocent people were quite possibly SLANDERED for being DIFFERENT and were condemned unjustly. READ IT. Several times it is stated here AS FACT. NOT "ALLEGED" to have kidnapped and murdered people; this obviously SLOPPY IRRESPONSIBLE writer has left the idea that Jews are kidnappers and that they commit " blood libel" against their neighbors! CLEARLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND ANTISEMITIC, it sounds like a page right out of HITLER'S playbook. GET IT RIGHT & ERASE THIS GARBAGE. 12.71.33.162 (talk) 15:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Possible Misunderstanding by User 12.71.33.162
It seems this user doesn't know what "blood libel" or just the word "libel" means, or simply made the comment above hastily as can be seen clearly in the phrase "Jews committing 'blood libel' against their fellow citizens in Turkey" ;-) "Blood libel" is a slander committed against Jews (surely not by Jews, unless they're insane ;-), by making false claims of Jews abducting and sacrificing Christian (non-Jewish) children in some religious rituals. So, "blood libel" cases are facts, but the claims made in such cases are fiction. Veritas.vos.Liberabit.58 (talk) 10:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Valid source for execution claim
Hello, Wikipedians!

I am looking for any valid source for the claim about the decree of the execution of the Jews under the rule of Murad III The paragraph in the article. "However, later the attitude of the authorities towards the Jews deteriorated. In 1579 Sultan Murad III reportedly heard that Jewish women wore silk clothes decorated with precious stones, and ordered the destruction of all Jews in the Empire. Even though the decree was lifted, thanks to Shlomo Ashkenazi, the adviser to the Grand Vizier, a special clothing was ordered for Jews to wear. In particular, women were forbidden to wear silk, and men have been prescribed to wear a special form of hat." I am wondering what is the source from which this allegation sprang up. There are, of course, many resources that mention it; however, I want to access to the imperial decree or any kind of paper -from older times- that will confirm the claim. I looked it up in the added sources but could not find any reliable source. Besides, the term "reportedly" makes it harder to be sure of the claim. Thanks in advance!
