Erdogan, where do you stand if not with the people of Aleppo?

News

Turkey's President Erdogan recently visited the tomb of Karimov the Butcher of Andijan: who imprisoned, tortured and killed Muslims in Uzbekistan.

Comment

Was he not aware that Karimov had slaughtered hundreds of Muslims in Andijan in 2005?

Was he also not aware that Karimov had placed thousands of Muslims, men and women, in jails for over ten and fifteen years and longer, subjecting them to severe torture including boiling to death, in some cases leading to martyrdom, just because they demand the implementation of Islam on the land of Imam Bukhari?

Is this not the same as what is taking place in Syria for over half a decade?

So now why does he, Erdogan, not stand with the Muslims of Aleppo who are facing intensified bombings by the regime of Syria and the Bear (Russia) to smother the revolution and force upon the people the US plan?

Is he deaf, dumb and blind to the screams of Aleppo's people?

Or is it the case that he, Erdogan, and his government have made it clear that it does not stand with the friends of Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw), rather they stand with the open enemies of the believers whether they are dead or alive. It should be noted that this decision will ruin their fate in this world and the Hereafter as Allah (swt) says:

(وَإِن مِّنكُمْ إِلاَّ وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتْماً مَّقْضِيّاً * ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّاً)

“There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished. Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the Zalimun therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell)” [TMQ Maryam: 71-72]
