We should not allow ourselves to be intimidated by the lying Talmudists and others who hypocritically complain that the Catholic Church forces people to become members of it. This source provided information that added a Romish touch of anti-Semitism to the alleged massacre: I believe it worth noting that I came across one questionable recounting of that Fez massacre tale from an undoubtedly unreliable source: A Catholic Sermon. The reports often informed that ever since that undated and apparently unrecorded pogrom, some Muslims have continued to wear the blood red fez in commemoration of the “religious cleansing” of Fez. Just about every one of these unattributed accounts mentioned how the Muslim residents of Fez dipped their white caps into the blood of the Christian martyrs, causing them to become red in color. Other reports told of how Christians had been compelled to dig a huge pit, into which their murdered bodies were thrown, filling the pit with blood. Some claimed the blood of slain Christians ran like a river in the streets of Fez. I also encountered a variety of references to the fez hat and Christian blood. I encountered innumerable references to the slaughter of “thousands,” “tens of thousands,” “30,000,” “42,000 ” etc. The above is not to suggest that I did not find any mention of Muslim massacres of Christians in Fez. I was unable to discover information relative to the slaughter of more than a few Christians in Fez in the early 20th Century, but no reliable information concerning the murder of thousands of Christians. In 1465, for example, Muslim fanatics murdered all but 11 of the Jews living in Fez at that time. What I did uncover was a major pile of records of Muslim massacres of Jews in the Middle East, North Africa and Spain. I devoted what was, for me, a significant amount of time to searching for a historical record of the alleged, and undated, massacre of “thousands of Christians” in Fez. Lacking a foundational information source, I initiate a search of my own. In most cases, in my experience, the person posting the argument is unable to identify the root source of the information. I seek only to discover the facts of the matter under investigation. When I do this, my intention is not to embarrass anyone. I often check out claims that appear to me to be of questionable validity. As every believer should be aware, the number of denominations in the professing Christian church is significantly less than the 30 or 40 thousands that some Catholics claim. Eventually, I was able to discover the source from which flowed the information that Catholic apologists have corrupted by the application of applied imagination and outright lies. When I would challenge the validity of the claims concerning thousands and thousands of so-called Protestant denominations, not a single Catholic apologist was able to identify to me the source of that information. The more I ran against this fallacious argument the more I noticed that those who used it did not agree in specific points. That particular claim not too long ago was a favored tool of Catholic apologists attacking the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. When I read this, I was minded of the oft-repeated Catholic charge that the private interpretation of the Scriptures by non-Catholics has resulted in thousands of so-called Protestant denominations. Now that is the meaning of their red fez. Muslims slew thousands of Christians and rejoiced in their victory by gathering their blood in their white hats (fez). I just got done posting about Masonic lodges, and the red fez that Masons have under glass in some homes are symbolic of the blood of Christians which was shed in a terrible massacre in the town of Fez, Morocco.
