the sad part is 40 years later these people will come and say yeah erdogan was biritih agent hence he doesnt count and walk the same path all over again
Just like communists, its been hell everywhere its touched, but they tell you it wasn't real communism. And when they get into power it will be good communism.
Political islam has the same problem, it doesn't work in the modern age, it really stopped working 300 years ago. But that's never real islam, the real islam is medieval islam from a thousand years, that has no bearing on todays worlds. A golden age of islam that still got easily destroyed and swept aside by the Tengri worshipping Mongol empire.
The new political islamists who tell Muslims the last ones were failures and western agents, will be the wests new agents. The nation stagnates, regresses fails. rinse and repeat. With idiotic chants of "victory is near" just like in Gaza as the juice blow the entire place away.
In many ways Political islam is the white mans curse for Muslims. Just like the British knew the wahhabists would rot and destroy the Ottoman state from within they financed it and supported it with such vigour that today the islam most Muslims are getting world wide is emanating out from their vassal saudi arabia. The common Muslim is completely oblivious to this game that's been played on him and his children.
One of the hallmarks of this form of "islam" is how petty everything becomes, the slightest difference of thought or opinion on theocratic questions can cause wars. We went from the Ottomans who could comfortably rule over europeans, africans and asians under many different faiths to today where you get pakistani imams/dawah grifters here in england claiming its haram not to have a beard and that can be enough to argue over, to destroy relations.
Let me add something else, the majority of dawah grifters and shaykhs out there are going around condition Muslims to see the Turks and the Ottomans as kaffirs. There is even that super ugly/crooked looking clown who goes round telling Muslims that the Orthodox Russians, Greeks, Serbs, are the good guys and the Muslims Ottomans are Kaffirs and the enemies.
this ulgy gremlin looking clown is just one of many pushing anti Turk European propaganda against the Turks. Money must be coming from euro powers and their gulf vassals.
But it makes perfect sense, if im the westerner and i hate Islamic civilisation i have to cripple the Turks. You cripple the Turks and Islam is no challenge to the west.
