*If you came to this video directly, please watch Islamic Crusades Episode 1: The Occupation of Constantinople first*

I didn't have much time to read from direct accounts of the atrocities in the original video. This is a reading from "History of Mehmed the Conqueror" by Kritovoulos, with my own analysis.

This is meant to be a counterpoint to the many horror stories of the Christian Crusades that are well known in the West.
