By the end of Sunday, September 10, 1922, The Turkish
Army had murdered the elderly Greek Archbishop of Smyrna, Chrysostomos,
and exterminated most of the inhabitants and refugees in the Armenian
“quarter” of Smyrna. The well orchestrated slaughter of perhaps 25,000
Armenians was according to the usual Jihadic pattern of looting, raping,
and killing, which was established by Muhammad and documented in
Islam’s most sacred tests. Also as usual, they spared the prettier women
and girls for the Turkish Army and later sale as sex slaves.
On Monday, the looting, rapine, and killing was
extended to the larger Greek quarter, which was now crowded with Greek
refugees fleeing the advance of the Turks. Many hid in homes, churches,
schools, and other buildings. Eight hundred Christians who had taken
refuge in the Catholic Cathedral were dragged out and massacred. In the
streets and homes, the same pattern of looting, rapine, and killing
proceeded. Twenty women who had fled for safety to the home of a British
citizen were raped and then killed. A full account of such wanton
savagery would take many articles. The slaughter in the Greek quarter of
Smyrna seemed to peak late on Tuesday, but the worst was yet to come.
