Kemal Karpat (Editor), and Yetkin Yildirim (Editor). The Ottoman Mosaic Exploring Models for Peace by Re-Exploring the Past. Cune Press , 2010.
Once the undisputed leader in the Islamic world, the Ottoman Empire never hesitated to engage in mutually beneficial relationships with non-Muslim cultures. The Ottoman Mosaic is a collection of readable essays that explores how the greatness of the Ottoman Empire could be attributed to its policy of religious and ethnic tolerance that allowed a diverse population to peacefully coexist within the borders of a Muslim Empire.
