I watched Dr. Casagranda’s lecture series on Islamic civilization before. A member of the school of looking at history through “other side’s“ lenses.
However, while upholding Arabic contribution to world civilization, being an Arabic speaker scholar I guess, he seems to undermine Turkish contribution to Islam. Not that he is discrediting it but seemingly focuses less on the Ottoman impact.
Overall, the lectures were quite factual and were nice watching.

that is on purpose ! turks playerd critical rule in silk road yet they mention mongols but not the turks, timur among the top 3 commnaders of all time along side of alexander the great and Genghis khan but they wont talk about him although he was a greater then both of them ! alexander was a son of a king who inhertitae the famouse army from Phillipe the great Genghis khan had 4 man to be his horse (friend ) who run the empire and diplomocy for him and 4 man to be his dog (generals ) among them was subutai the greatest mongol general yet timur had none of these he didnt had army and kingdom like alexander nor he had generals and adviser like Genghis khan to run military campian for him he fought all of his battles himslf and he is the only counqurere who took moscow in russia and deli in india beat all muslim powers as well as crusaders ! the viraity of enemy he face is so vast that other generals woudşnt succesd in his place ! same goes to turks contribution to Islam Christianity Judaism and buddhism! and some islamist help them in that regard ! i can go on and on !

in the time of sultan mehmet the counter ottomans lived their golden age he was the supporter of philosophy and science and art even leonardo da vinci was about to come to istanbul to work for ottomans but sadly sultan died ! things go down hill when yavuz sultan selim took Egypt ! the ulema of Egypt had backward view of islam and they were enemy of science ! they saw guns and artillerys as a witchcraft and demonic ! when selim brought them back to istanbul the downfall begin ! especially when tarikats took over jannissary barrick as each barricks give their allegiances to their tarikat sheikh instead of sultan thats how you get jannisary revolts ! also Fetö and probably menzil in future ! ! the way for reform were closed ! sultan murad the 4th even beheded a sheikh al islam to open the reform for the empire. anyone wanted any reform face opposition from tarikat and cemaat selim iii and mahmut ii are among them ! ottoman empire were poisioned by ulema and philosophy from Egypt ! even today Egypt playing the same role ! tarikat leaders such as alparslan kuytul leader of furkanci tarikat whom their members were most people who gone to syria to fight for isis ! were actually did his islamic education in Egypt one of the 18 demand of 28th şubat generals from erbakan was to prevent these people to teach religion to turkish children and insisted that only diyanet should have sole right to teach religion to turkish people !

The excessive praise of the West for the achievements of Iskander the Great is explained by the fact that European culture, as they usually do, is based on Roman and Greek culture (not on Byzantium!). They consider Genghis Khan (and Emir Teymur) a barbarian
But how this "barbarian" created the greatest empire, they prefer not to say... Genghis Khan's military talent is incomparably superior to Alexander the Great and Napoleon the Great combined. Ironically, the Romans, whom cultured Europeans revere, in fact considered the Germans and Gauls, that is, the Europeans themselves, barbarians

actually Genghis Khan is not that of a great general he had talented genrals that run military campain for him ! but not alexander, he fight all of his battle himslef like timur but he was son of a king with a powerfull army ! timur had none of these and alexander fought mostly only 1 enemy unlike timur who fought so many different army type from crusaiders to muslims to indians to russians to mongols ! ! it is insane how he overcome all of them ! beside European talks about mongols contribution to mankind via silk road same goes to Scythians but when gökturks or peçenek or kipçak , cumans ruled the stepps they wont talk about it ! khan's den did magnificent job of explaining how gökturks keep the trade and tech transfer flowing between east and west !The excessive praise of the West for the achievements of Iskander the Great is explained by the fact that European culture, as they usually do, is based on Roman and Greek culture (not on Byzantium!).

exactly ! the westren idendity build on this but historically they considered barbarians by greeks and romans !Ironically, the Romans, whom cultured Europeans revere, in fact considered the Germans and Gauls, that is, the Europeans themselves, barbarians

Commanders have long avoided going into battle at the head of their armies. It is not their duty. Moreover, they are forbidden to do so. In some places it happened earlier, in others later. An anecdotal incident happened to the famous Soviet General Konev. Having lost control of his army as a result of a lightning-fast German offensive, the general, a former artilleryman, joined the artillerymen and personally destroyed three German tanks with a cannon, bravely fighting in a small group of soldiers. The general was barely saved from captivity and taken to the Kremlin. Stalin had already been told how the army commander had bravely destroyed the Germans. Stalin scolded him and said that it was a pity that he could not award him a medal for bravery intended for ordinary soldiers, and returned him to the front as an army commander.
They say that General Patton once decided to go out with a pistol against a German attack aircraft.
Our famous General Barkhudaroglu was the first to climb his tank to a strategic height in Karabakh.
It happens.
Army commanders have long understood that it is impossible to effectively lead a battle while being personally on the battlefield. The armies of Genghis Khan sometimes fought in several directions at the same time, when it was simply physically impossible to even be close to the fighting army.
However, they say that one commander managed to do this. We are talking about Sultan Yildirim (Lightning) Bayazit. Russians to this day claim that this famous Ottoman commander was almost simultaneously seen at the head of his troops on two different battlefields, in the West, in the Balkans and in the East of his empire. Russians say that this is why he is called Yildirim - Lightning.
I usually do not believe the Russians
Tell me, is there any mention of this supernatural event in Turkish historical sources?

Yeah I was being tongue in cheek a bit. Though if its a cauldron geography (in front of you and you're on a lip or something) and the amount of snow being unleashed is small enough (no way to know that ofc, but kind of have to hope at this point), its worth legging it.
But the guy was somewhat prepared, he knew the shelter spot that he ducked into last moment apparently, so that explains the lack of real panic (and flight mitigation)...he was semi-prepped for what was about to go down...though such shelter feature wasn't there 5 minutes ahead of them so it kind of boiled down to luck too:

Trump is said to have posted a sign on the door of the White House for pretty girls who want to work there.
"Please put both hands on your shoulders and walk straight to the wall. If your elbows touch it before your chest, think twice before entering."

«US President Donald Trump has released an AI-generated video showing his vision for the future of Gaza after it is rebuilt.
The video, set in 2025, features a song with the lyrics “Trump Gaza.” The video, posted on Trump’s Truth Social page, shows skyscrapers replacing destroyed buildings, luxury cars driving through the streets, and yachts full of vacationers moored off the coast.
One of the key elements of the video is a life-size, gilded statue of Trump. The accompanying song says the US president will “liberate” the enclave’s residents and that there will be no more “tunnels and fear” in Gaza. The video ends with two men resembling Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lounging by a pool with the words “Trump Gaza” in the background» (minval.az)

How the fck does Mesut Ozil become a politician?
Is this how you become a politician in Turkiye by sucking up to the Reis and the parties?
This is pretty insulting has he has no experience and he is a German citizen and spent most of his life in Germany.
Blatant corruption.
