Abdul Hamid Khan and His Dreadful Household
A critical critique portrays Abdul Hamid Khan as the Lion of the Harem, detailing a $30 million annual imperial household cost, a vast 700000-strong Muslim army, 4000 staff, and a gilded court filled with wives, theaters, and sewing machines all funded at the Turkish taxpayer’s expense. The piece frames him as hypocritical, debt ridden, and a coward, yet insists his power could alarm Europe if funds were better spent on defense and governance.
