Middle East Madness > Syria - Christian restaurants must close for Ramadan; Music forbidden in Syrian port city; Turkey claiming Gazans are Turks

 

Two more indicators of the direction of the new government in Syria. It draws closer and closer to Sharia.


Syria: Government revives law forcing observance of Ramadan fast, Christian-owned restaurants must shut for 30 days


What’s the big deal? Before too long, the restaurants in London will all be shutting for the 30 days of Ramadan as well.

Syria: Jihadis in power in Latakia forbid listening to music


“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 2212)

“It was narrated from Abu Malik Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘People among my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name, and musical instruments will be played for them and singing girls (will sing for them). Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up, and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4020)

“Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) !’ It happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)




For about a year now I have been suggesting that Tayyip Erdogan has been looking for an excuse to intervene in the Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran/Houthi war against Israel. He may have found it in this absurd claim. 

How about they run a few random genetics tests to see if any Gazans are from Turkey.


Former Turkish prime minister says Gaza was part of Ottoman Empire and so Gazans are Turkish citizens


This statement should be (but won’t be) a wake-up call for many other countries, including Greece, unoccupied Cyprus, and Israel, that were once part of the Ottoman Empire.

If Turkey did reassert sovereignty over Gaza, it would use it as a jihad base against Israel, just as the Gazans themselves have done since the Israelis withdrew from the territory in 2005.


Former prime minister of Turkey says Gaza is still part of the Ottoman Empire and Gazans are legally Turkish citizens

Elder of Ziyon, February 19, 2025:

Ahmet Davutoğlu is a former prime miniister [sic] and foreign minister of Turkey. Now is is the chairman of Turkey’s opposition Future Party.

Last week, he responded to Donald Trump’s plan for the US to take over Gaza by suggesting that …Turkey should take over Gaza.

Speaking to a group of aligned politicians, Davutoğlu  stated, “Now, as a Turk, as a Turk who is a subject of the Ottoman Empire, I am saying to Trump; the last legitimate state of the people of Gaza was the Ottoman Empire. After that, the British mandate was established, it did not grant citizenship. Israel is already illegitimate and has never granted citizenship. As the Republic of Turkey, which is the legitimate continuity of the Ottoman Empire, the people of Gaza should hold a referendum as our natural compatriots and citizens. And they should be connected to the Republic of Turkey as an autonomous region until the State of Palestine is established.”…
