Inside The Great Ottoman Empire's page on Wikia I found a section named "The New World" which presents some information I never had clue about. However, since Wikia cand be edited by anyone, I cannot safely verify the sources or the accuracy of the information presented in that section.

Also, there was one paragraph which draw my attention:

After the Spanish Inquisition, many Jews felt that they needed their own homeland to protect themselves from anti-semitism. Suleiman's advisor, Ibrahim Pasha, was in particular an adherent of this idea. With the sparsely populated North America for the taking, the Ottomans funded a Jewish colony in the New World, under Ottoman Control but with autonomy. In 1570, New Jerusalem (OTL Charleston) was established. Although the Jews came into conflict with the local Cherokee, over the next century, New Israel had developed into a flourishing colony.

After reading the New Wolrd section, can someone state that the information presented there is accurate? I'm a Romanian, and a part of Romania was under Ottoman occupation for a good period of time, so the Ottoman Empire is a big subject in our history books, but I never quite knew that they sort of wanted the Americas too. I know that they took islam to Asia and left some in the Balkans too - here I'm talking about the outer-typical-muslim-areas - and these colonization-related subjects were very interesting since Islam altered the destiny of the countries it was introduced in, but I was curious if it was ever brought to the Americas. And then I stumbled upon this page:

Now I can only assume how an Islamic Central America would have looked like.
