  1. Very well said 🙏. One of my favourite video series is "Dirilis Ertugrul". I watch it mostly for the history and to see how they practised Islam at that time, plus it's beautifully filmed. My friends and family members watch modern Turkish soap operas and get a mostly benevolent view of Turkey. The occupation by Turkey of parts of Cyprus, Syria and Iraq must not be ignored, nor its aggression towards Greece and other regional areas.

  2. You seem to ignore that fact that the Arabs of Palestine fought with the Ottoman Turks, or stayed neutral, during WWI. The German-Ottoman Alliance was DEFEATED. Wars have consequences!!! Losers of a war that they started do not get to dictate who gets what land 🙄. The Jewish people fought with the British and were granted the right to reconstitute their ancestral homeland in less than 1% of the carved-up Ottoman Middle East land. All current occupants of historic Palestine had the choice of accepting to live within the Jewish state of Israel, or alongside it. Today two million Arabs (mostly Muslim) are full Israel citizens with equal rights and they serve in the Knesset and on the Supreme Court, and increasingly in the IDF and security services.  The Hejazi Arabs also fought with the British, led by Lawrence of Arabia, and they were granted self-rule in 99% of the Ottoman ME land, today's Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Much of that land is rich in oil. The fact that the invading Arabs of the late 7th century planted their own building on top of the most holy site for the Jews is irrelevant. Muslims have their own holy sites in Arabia. There is no 'occupation'. Israel is probably the most legal country in the world today because the Jewish people are not there by aggressively invading, but by being granted the right under the international agreement of the League of Nations in 1920, later ratified by the United Nations, and by arriving earlier than 1918 and purchasing their own land. Over 80 million people around the world have been displaced by wars and founding of new countries in the last 110 years. Those displaced peoples mostly accepted reality, moved on, and today their children thrive. Why is it only the so-called Palestinian Arabs who still moan and whine? Why do they get six times more funding than any other displaced group? I suggest you accept that Israel is there to stay and it's only going to grow stronger...🇮🇱🙏💙

  3. Hamas leaders get help from Türkiye, and Hamas combatants were flown to Turkiye for medical treatment. Doesn't that count?

  4. Erdogan has instituted a programme of Islamic #Sharia financial policies. Good luck with that!
