This article is a dynamic list of genocides, cultural genocides and acts of ethnic cleansing under Muslim regimes from the origin of Islam to present day.

Such actions are not uniquely perpetrated by any particular religion or culture and this page should not be used to suggest otherwise, nor used in an attempt to justify contemporary human rights abuses. [[w:Persecution of Muslims|Muslims themselves suffer persecution]] in various parts of the world today and have suffered genocides (for example, [[w:Bosnian genocide|in Bosnia]]). However, it can be seen that regimes in the Islamic world have not been uniquely peaceful, harmonious, or innocent of the kinds of attrocities perpetrated throughout history.

There were headless corpses sprawled on the ground, blood spurting out of their necks like ghoulish fountains designed by Dracula. Women on their knees begged for mercy from swarthy turbaned men on horseback with scimitars whose blades were crimson and dripping. I couldn't appreciate his village, the mayor declared, until I understood that picture. "Here you see the massacre of the people of Perchtoldsdorf by the Osmanli in 1683," he told me. "They killed everybody - men, women, and children. Only a single family, who had managed to hide deep in a cellar, survived." The mayor pointed to the very wall where they had hidden. "And their descendants, by the name of Rabl, still live here even today," he concluded with deep pride.''"</ref>
