What were non-Muslim religious communities within the Ottoman Empire called?
Millets. Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.
What did the Ottomans do to control Muslim lands?
The Ottomans conquered a number of territories using sophisticated modern armies. Afterwards, they installed millets to run the government locally and allied up with other nearby Muslim countries for support.
What was the Ottoman policy toward Christians?
Non-Muslims, like Christians, who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens. They lacked a number of fundamental rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of settlement, access to all occupations, and additional taxation because they were Non-Muslim. Each Dhimmi group, like the Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and so forth were organized into Millets which were community representative groups. Each Millet would report to a centralized Millet representative in Istanbul who would have direct dealing with the Imperial Palace. This would allow the Millets to air their grievances, but was more often used as a method to control the Millets and make them less resistive to Ottoman Occupation.Admittedly, life under the Ottomans was far superior to most contemporaneous Empires. Spain was by far a more religiously and culturally intolerant place during this period as were France and England.Finally, the Ottomans' most egregious crime was the policy of devşirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam. No Muslim was even allowed to join the Janissaries because the devşirme system was so effective in producing recruits loyal only to the Emperor because they feared him.

The transition between the Ottoman Empire and Turkey resulted in the Armenian Genocide (around 1.8 million killed) and the Greco-Turkish Population Swaps. Many Greeks in the Aegean cities like Smyrna (now Turkish Izmir) died en route to modern Greece and many Turks from the Peleponnesus (southern Greece) died en route to Turkey.Finally, the Ottomans' most egregious crime was the policy of devshirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam. No Muslim was even allowed to join the Janissaries, because the devshirme system was so effective in producing recruits loyal only to the Emperor because they feared him.
What was sultans religious policy of the Ottoman Empire?
Sunni Islam was the dominant religion in the Ottoman Empire and Sunni Shari'a (Religious Law) was the official law of the country, save where the Sultan published specific edicts. In order to be a member of the government in most capacities, being a Sunni Muslim was requisite. Shiite Muslims and Alevis were generally treated with suspicion and seen as being fifth columns for Safavid and Qajjar Iran, which were Shiite theocracies.Non-Muslims who lived in the Ottoman Empire were called Dhimmi, or second-class citizens.

Spain was by far a more religiously and culturally intolerant place during this period as were France and England. This would begin to change in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as Jews and other minorities became increasingly emancipated in Europe, but not as extensively in the Ottoman Empire.The Ottomans' most egregious crime (other than the genocides of the early 20th century) was the policy of devshirme, where Christian families in the Balkans region had to submit to Ottoman soldiers stealing their children to bring to them to Istanbul where they would have no contact with their parents for years and be trained to be the elite Janissary Core and be converted to Islam.
