Comment:
The reality of the word that the Ummah is resurrecting while Gaza is dying has been manifested in the developments in Turkey over the past week. The Muslim people of Turkey have been continuing to support the Palestinian cause by demonstrating a strong example of solidarity with the people of Gaza since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood. Marches and events are being held all over Turkey denouncing "Israel", supporting Gaza and demanding that Muslims be a single fist against the infidels (kuffar). The flag of the Tawhid, which is the motto of Islam and the common value of all Muslims, has become the most prominent symbol of these marches. However, the fact that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, consisting of 57 states, did not take a single concrete step to bring the Jewish presence into the line, moreover, they were unable to even introduce a sip of water into Gaza, led to a reminder of the importance of the Caliphate. Many scholars in Turkey have expressed the obligation and necessity of the Caliphate. During the marches, it was emphasized that Palestine will be saved with the Caliphate, and the Islamic towns will unite with the Caliphate and regain their former glory and honor.
This intellectual and political awakening has driven the secularist Kemalist Islam-hostile section in Turkey almost crazy. This mentality, which sees its purpose of existence as not giving Islam and Muslims the right to life, has started provocations with the approach of the local elections to be held in March. First the football competition between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce to be played in Saudi Arabia, the process was sabotaged by putting forward new conditions other than the agreement made between the clubs and the Saudi government. Then they made the cancellation of the competition on the grounds that the Saudi administration did not allow Mustafa Kemal posters and banners "What a Happy Turk I Am". Thus, they created a ground that fueled Arab and Islamic hostility through this incident and again aimed to establish a new guardianship area through football by using this incident.
Because the influence of the secular Kemalist group, who represent the British cultural colonialism and consider themselves the owner of the country, has narrowed down in Turkey. Especially due to the AK Party's establishment of the American-based presidential system, their chances of coming to power through elections have decreased significantly. Because in order to become a power in the current system, it is necessary to get 50 + 1 votes. The equivalent of the secular Kemalists among the people of Turkey is not enough to get so many votes. Therefore, they are attacking the marches supporting Gaza, the flag of the Tawhid and the idea of the Caliphate in order to create a chaotic environment before the elections, put pressure on the government, consolidate their own bases and protect the municipalities they won in the previous local elections. The first attack on a Muslim carrying the Tawhid flag on the Galata Bridge and the subsequent attacks carried out via social media are also a reflection and extension of this dirty provocation.
Another reason why the secular Kemalist mob attacks Islam and Muslims in such a brazen way is that the government makes Mustafa Kemal beautiful in the face of such provocations. Kemalist initiatives, especially in order to get votes from the Kemalist section, to make Muslims love the secular republic, to build a new nationalist identity that has no problems with democracy and western values, have become a factor that feeds this climate. But Alhamdulillah dirty traps and social engineering studies did not achieve their goal. Muslims did not flinch in the face of the attacks of the enemies of Islam and claimed the flag of the Tawhid and the Caliphate. And as a result of this action, the racist attacker who threw a punch was arrested by the court. Thanks to this occasion, the Muslims' commitment to Islamic values was seen again by everyone, and it is to be continued. Because these lands have been the capital of the Caliphate state for 400 years. The real owners of these lands are the Muslim people of Turkey, who have paid prices and given martyrs for the sake of Islam, and these people will protect Islam and its values, the flag of the Tawhid and the Caliphate till the end.
