Neoliberals and Globalists both suffered defeat after Trump victory

10 نوفمبر 2024, الأحد

The U.S. election has ended, and the world will feel its political impacts for a long time. A worldview that has led humanity into chaos, tampered with human genetics, normalized perversions while declaring the natural as illegitimate, and distanced itself from all values, has taken a significant hit. This Zionist globalist mindset, built on Jewish supremacist ideology, may sometimes seem like a conspiracy theory, but the American people made a decision that prioritized their own interests over

On the Path of Martyrdom: The Heroic Epic of Palestine and the Power of Resistance

19 أكتوبر 2024, السبت

The meaning of martyrdom for the sake of God had been forgotten by many societies. Wars of independence bring forth countless unsung heroes. During World War I and the Turkish War of Independence, every province and region had hundreds of anonymous heroes with countless stories. Just the other day, Prof. Mazhar Bağlı spoke about the organized role of a mayor and tribes during the liberation of Urfa from French occupation. These historical truths can be seen in every region of our country and in

The Second Colonial Age Will Be the End of the West

09 أكتوبر 2024, الأربعاء

Western nations established a colonial empire that was always brutal and exploitative, treating Africans, Asians, and Latin Americans like slaves. They inflicted suffering on humanity, creating nightmares for billions of people for the happiness of 500 million. This horrific cycle never ended. During World War II, they suffered significant blood loss due to their own sacrifices, with 40 million lives lost. As a result, independence movements arose in territories occupied by the British, French,

Erdoğan's Revolution of Confidence

28 سبتمبر 2024, السبت

Being a continuous leader in a country’s political life for a quarter of a century, maintaining power while ranking among the top five leaders despite having the world's 17th largest economy, and turning Türkiye’s regional power into a global influence is significant. From the UN podium, Erdoğan not only harshly criticized those responsible for the massacres and genocides in Gaza, as well as those who stood behind them and institutions like the UN that, with their outdated structures, were unable

The Turkish martyr of the Palestinian independence war

15 سبتمبر 2024, الأحد

Today, the Palestinian flag is flown more frequently around the world than the American flag. When Palestine eventually becomes an independent state, it will be one of the smallest countries in the world. Yet, half of the world's nations have rallied in support of Palestine. Throughout history, Jerusalem has been a sacred place for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. During the time of Caliph Umar, it became a part of Islamic lands, and after Mecca and Medina, it is the third holiest site in the Muslim

Will Iran give up on its regional chaos doctrine?

22 أغسطس 2024, الخميس

The Iranian state, established despite the United States, re-emerged on the world stage after the 1979 revolution. The founding ideology of the newly formed Iranian state was fundamentally based on anti-Americanism. However, a closer look at Iran's official ideology reveals several key points that need to be examined more closely. The first argument underlying Iran's official ideology is the widely accepted belief in its opposition to the United States. Since the establishment of the Iranian regime,

A slave cannot threaten their master

29 يوليو 2024, الإثنين

Throughout history, no power has ever endured by oppression. Just like the colonial empires in the West, those who continue their oppression from the Far East to African countries will eventually face justice. During his address to the members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Netanyahu, a killer and a genocidal man, was given a standing ovation. This was one of the darkest days in human history. From ancient Greece and Rome to the Middle Ages and modern times, those who consider

Is Western-style racism possible in Türkiye?

30 يونيو 2024, الأحد

Last week, at a panel organized by Enstitü Sosyal (one of Türkiye's new think tanks), we discussed the elections in Europe and the rise of the far right, and I was also a participant. Frankly, our young academic colleagues summarized the trends, current situation, and political atmosphere in Europe with data-driven and analytical assessments. During the meeting, I raised the following key issues: Why are Western countries concerned about the rise of the far right and racism? I attempted to explain

Farewell to humanity...

23 يونيو 2024, الأحد

We've been accustomed to a tragic pattern since our childhood every holiday: Israeli soldiers either raid Al-Aqsa Mosque, desecrating its sanctity with their boots, or create disturbances around it, violently oppressing Muslims. In the Muslim world, responses are vague, the issue fades away, and in Palestine, daily life continues with Palestinians slowly dying in the city, countryside, village, and fields. The world has witnessed the slow demise of Palestinians for 75 years. Today in Gaza, Palestinians

A sorrowful Eid for Muslims

16 يونيو 2024, الأحد

Holidays for Muslims are about joy, happiness, peace, family unity, and reconnecting with relatives. It's a time when elders are visited, the graves of those who have passed are honored, and friends come closer; in short, everything good about humanity is manifested on a holiday. The Hajj pilgrimage, required during the Feast of Sacrifice, is a day when pilgrims from all over the world prepare spiritually and materially, standing before God. Today, pilgrims are at Arafat. It is known as the moment
