Can Daesh save Israel?

مارس 27 2024, الأربعاء

In Gaza, Israel is experiencing complete depletion in the eyes of the entire world with its genocide and all sorts of crimes against humanity. Using Hamas's October 7 attacks as a pretext for this barabrity convinces no one. No characterization of Hamas as a monster can justify Israel’s ruthless slaughter of nearly 50,000 people, including children, elderly, civilians, women, journalists, healthcare personnel, and clerics. On the other hand, with its ongoing brutality for the past six months, Israel

One must not miss the real reckoning in Gaza

مارس 18 2024, الإثنين

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Here's the translation: The massacres of the genocidal Israel in Gaza continue unabated on the 164th day, even during the Ramadan, the spiritual climate of which all Muslims living today and all believers who have lived in history come together at a certain date. From the last meeting of the Israeli war cabinet, instead of stopping the genocide for one reason or another, there are talks of attacking even the people driven from the North in Rafah, where they sought

Is there an Islamic World?

مارس 09 2024, السبت

I pose this question from Baku, where I'm attending a conference on Islamophobia. When we talk about approximately 2 billion Muslims in today's world, we are referring to a "world": the Islamic World. The notion of Islam having a world implies not only a shared belief, thought, and a minimum common culture and religion but also a shared space. How many of the 2 billion people feel themselves belonging to this world, distinct from the remaining 6 billion, to a separate and special world? Meanwhile,

The Islamic world's longest century...

مارس 06 2024, الأربعاء

As we commemorate the 100th anniversary of its abolishment, let's continue reflecting on the Caliphate. The absence of the Caliphate, and therefore the lack of a political center of initiative for Muslims, remains the fundamental determinant of the contemporary circumstances of Muslims. Although the Caliphate was abolished within the borders of Türkiye, its repercussions have affected Muslims worldwide. For the first generation of Islamic thinkers in the Republic, it was a traumatic event in terms

Israel, the threshold tested by February 28 and the self-immolating US soldier

فبراير 28 2024, الأربعاء

Today marks the 145th day of the genocide unfolding under the support and patronage of the United States in Israel, amidst the unmeasured silence of the Islamic world. Due to the unlimited support of the United States and the limitless indifference of the Arab world, the genocide continues to escalate every passing day, exploring new depths of depravity. The limitless indifference of the Arab world or our limited, futile, timid, and calculated reactions. The reactions that Israel promptly buys off

The agenda in Afghanistan has now shifted to economic development and preventing migration

يناير 16 2024, الثلاثاء

The agenda of economic development and preventing migration in Afghanistan may seem quite unusual compared to the news we are accustomed to, but that's exactly the situation. Just 2.5 years ago, the prevalent language in this country was the language of occupation, violence, war, and instability, and such an agenda was never considered. Irregular migrants or refugees going from one country to another carry or form perceptions about the problems, deficiencies, and unbearable living conditions in

The occupier learns best from its own kin

يناير 14 2024, الأحد

The hearings at the International Court of Justice, discussing Israel's genocide upon South Africa's application, have made a significant impact beyond expectations, akin to a new and crucial wave of the Aqsa flood. Although these hearings may not have binding and conclusive results in terms of sanctions, they mark a momentous and unprecedented event in history due to the notes they leave and the effects they create on the global public opinion, even if Western mainstream media failed to cover the

Zionism: "Religiosity that deems killing children a virtue"

نوفمبر 12 2023, الأحد

In the face of Israel's brutal massacres in Gaza, where every human value, emotion, and principle is disregarded, Western countries continue to support it. Simultaneously, in the streets of Western capitals or other cities, masses are protesting both Israel's policies and their leaders who support these policies. This uprising of conscience is becoming more vibrant each day, even more so than in Islamic countries. On one hand, there are those who enthusiastically support Zionist Israel's brutal

Israel's unexpected transformation: from powerhouse to paper tiger

أكتوبر 09 2023, الإثنين

The shockwave created by Hamas' Operation Aqsa Flood, which began on Saturday morning, October 7th, not only in Israel but also worldwide, continues. As the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, penetrated deep into Israel from 22 different points, they delivered an unprecedented defeat to Israel, as described by a Hamas spokesperson. In fact, the initial impact of the event on the entire world is somewhat reminiscent of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis." You know, in Kafka's novel, when

The impact of xenophobia on Türkiye's economy

سبتمبر 17 2023, الأحد

Recently, especially through social media, racism and xenophobia have been on the rise, and their expected and targeted impact is becoming evident. The intended effect is not just to instill a sense of hatred among Turks towards Arabs, but more importantly, it aims to distance Arab tourism and capital investments from Türkiye. Tourism is one of Türkiye's most significant sources of income and an essential export item. Türkiye's industry has gradually developed to become a significant export source,
