Oghuz Turks converted to islam when islamic civilization had already fallen behind.You mean through the 21 century i guess? because turkey had it strongest period through the last 700-800 years with islamic civilization
Exactly! Let only Egyptian people decide. I mean really decide.Only the Egyptian people decide that. I am happy with the President
Oghuz Turks converted to islam when islamic civilization had already fallen behind.
Islamic golden age ended pretty much with the Abbasid Caliphate. Central Asia was the last frontier. Seljuk conquest of the region corresponds to Ibn-i Sina's life time. Islam was actually pretty new in Central Asia. Al Khwarezmi for example converted to islam later on, he was initially a Zoroastrian. Once islam settled in Central Asia no more scientists followed and Seljuks came just at that precise moment.
Neither in Seljuk Empire nor in Ottoman Empire there ever was a tangible scientific success.
Especially Ottoman Empire was literally the desert of the World in regards to science.
I mean if you throw away Ottoman Empire from history as if that entire region and its people never existed you wouldnt notice a difference in the history of scientific progress.
Ottoman Civilization is a dead civilization. Today, if Turkey is any better than, if one bit better than rest of those countries with muslim majority it is because of its westernisation history starting with Mahmut II's period and tanzimat reforms.
Ottoman Empire was like the Soviet Russia of Early Modern period. Even at its highlight, it was always an economically poorer country. Its people were always suffering. It was like Soviet Russia, it had immense military and political power but it always sucked at everything else.
Actually Soviet Russia was pretty good at education, sports, art and high industry. I have been unjust to Soviet Russia.
What is cringy is that entire muslim nations from Pakistan to North Africa envy Turks for their advancement but they are also complainant of its westernisation. Now this is very funny because it is that westernisation that led Turkey to be more advanced than them which is why they are envious but they dont see that and want Turkey to be fundamentally islamist like their own countries. If this country is doing one bit better, it is because of this westernisation. If you take away that, it will be like the rest of all 40 muslim majority shitholes that claim to be a country. Now all these refugees/immigrants envy of Turkey are coming(because Erdogan realised Turkish population is too westernised for his mentality) and they will turn Turkey to their own country.
They come and they lecture Turks on what they should do. I want to tell them:
''Dumbass, I am not the one that migrated to your country. I am not the one that is envy of your country. It is you whose country is a miserable shithole that entire world pities on. So has it ever striked to you that maybe it is you who is supposed to take some advices?''
You made some valid point. But the ottoman empire had some good achievments in science in the early stages of the history. I dont think no one can deny how strong the ottomans was. I dont agree that turkey is developing now because of «westernisation». From early years since turkey as a country was founded we saw that education was very important, and this was a priority. Many turks have also studied abroad, so turkey as a nation is the most educated muslim country. And btw! To be a muslim does not mean that you limit yourself to religious affairs. Islam covers all aspects of life, and encourage us to have a high aspiration in life. However i seen many turks in this forum who for exampme hate on erdogan just because he has a muslim background, and they mix so much.Oghuz Turks converted to islam when islamic civilization had already fallen behind.

Al Sisi is called as „my favorite dictator“ by Donald Trump. He is depend on Saudi money’s and France‘s weapons. I am ashamed of this guy. But as you said, it’s your „dictator“ and your problem.I do not have enough information to know what Mr Sisi has done for Egypt. But anything is better than radical religious administration. Secularism is the way for all developing countries. But that only comes with right level of education.
Imagine turkey-egypt alliance. Israel was probably shitting their pants. I dont think israel or the western world would want egypt to propser. They are a big nation with huge potential.Al Sisi is called as „my favorite dictator“ by Donald Trump. He is depend on Saudi money’s and France‘s weapons. I am ashamed of this guy.

Absolutely right.Imagine turkey-egypt alliance. Israel was probably shitting their pants. I dont think israel or the western world would want egypt to propser. They are a big nation with huge potential.
We don’t have problems with Egyptians at all. Just the leader .I'm very sorry @Gamal but i need to say this, I was thinkin that Turks were more polite than Arabs because of European interaction . Come on Turks, although I am a Jew, I respect an egyptian. You can do it too

His no different than the Arabs and Persians who love ignoring Muslim Turks achievements.
Look at his bias when even Western universities who are bias against the Turks dont have this notion that the Turks had no science or contributed nothing
