The arabs mostly called us "dhimmi", or "guilty". They mostly used the term Rumi on Byzantines and Greeks, if I recall correctly.
Dhimmi means 'protected' in Arabic, it refers to non-Muslims in a political context. I've never heard it trasnlated as guilty. Rumi referred to Byzantines early in Ottoman history but the word also meant Ottomans later on. |
