Muslims From Turkey Behead 800 Italian Men

On 14 August, 800 men of Otranto, Italy were led outside their city and beheaded by Muslims from Turkey in a massacre. Their remains were later collected and are to this day kept in the Cathedral of Otranto. 
In April, the pope called for an Italian crusade to liberate the city.   Christians from throughout Europe heeded the call.
In May, Christian forces besieged Otranto. The Muslims surrendered in August and left Otranto in September, ending the 13-month occupation. This was the one and only time in history the Turks ever briefly gained a foothold on the Italian peninsula; their plan to take Italy was aborted and all subsequent Turkish attempts ended in failure.
This massacre happened in 1481, and this crusade to liberate Otranto happened in 1482.   But, most Christians have gotten this part of Islam’s history of conquest.
Today, the Muslims have returned thanks to a generous immigration policy and are now taking over Italy just as they are turning the rest of Europe into a Muslim Caliphate.
