..I know. But here is how Merriam Webster defines the word.

jan·is·sary
noun ˈja-nə-ˌser-ē, -ˌzer-
plural jan·is·sar·ies also jan·i·zar·ies

Definition of JANISSARY
1
often capitalized : a soldier of an elite corps of Turkish troops organized in the 14th century and abolished in 1826
2
: a member of a group of loyal or subservient troops, officials, or supporters

...you'll notice there is no mention of the word "Christian"...but "elite" appears.
