Projecting one's own lack of values and arbitrary, cruel behavior onto Muslims is nothing new among Europeans. This image here, by the way, is of European origin and is supposed to show Kanuni Sultan Sulaiman watching as one of his strict judgments is carried out. However, there are no historical records that he actually had Serbian slaves trampled by an elephant. Not to mention the half-naked female slaves on the back of the elephant. It's a fictional, exaggerated and symbolic image and was made only to demonize the Ottomans.
