Does Erdogan see an opening to begin reassembling the Ottoman Empire under his Caliphate?

Erdogan ally says Aleppo is ‘Turkish

and Muslim to its very marrow’

Erdogan's ally, and the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahceli, declares that Aleppo "is Turkish and Muslim to its very marrow. It is not just us who says so, history says so, geography says so. The Turkish flag that was hoisted over Aleppo citadel says so." Bahceli thinks so because he’s a Muslim who has an Islamic “understanding” of history and geography. According to Islam, all history is in fact Islamic history, and that all major figures of ancient history basically are Muslim - including Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus. This Islamic concept could be called the “Islamization of history”. Through "Islamization of history," there is also an "Islamization of geography," explains Professor Moshe Sharon: "Anywhere which was connected with these people or with these prophets who were all Muslims becomes a Muslim territory. And therefore, when Islam was not in that area before Mohammed came to it, it should have been there. By that area, I mean the Middle East or other parts outside of the Middle East which are now Muslim. So any place like this had to be freed, not to be conquered. They had to be liberated. So, Islam appeared in history in the time of Mohammed -- or reappeared in history from their point of view -- as a liberator. And therefore, there is no Islamic occupation. If somebody occupies anything, it will always be somebody else, not the Muslims. So, there is no Islamic occupation. There is only Islamic liberation."

Turkish Muslim preacher: “The Prophet said:

‘Allah commands of you…to wage jihad'”

Dec 6, 2024 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Osman Akın clearly has violent jihad in mind, as he refers to the “disbelievers” supposedly having “struck” the Muslims repeatedly. Will any of the Muslim spokesmen in the West kindly undertake to refute Osman Akın’s understanding of jihad, and explain to him the true, peaceful Islam? No? And why not?

Turkish Pro-ISIS Preacher Osman Akın, Following His Release From Prison: Allah Commands Us To Wage Jihad; The Disbelievers Attack Muslims Again And Again, We Do Not Accept This

MEMRI, November 4, 2024:

On November 4, 2024, the Ahlak ve Sünnet Magazine YouTube channel uploaded a video of a sermon delivered by pro-ISIS Turkish preacher Osman Akın, also known as Mamoste Osman El-Kurdi. Akın had been arrested in May 2023 during an anti-ISIS crackdown by Turkish authorities, and he was released from prison in May 2024. During his sermon, Akın said that Allah has commanded the Muslims to wage Jihad, he condemned the disbelievers for attacking Muslim societies, and he condemned Muslims who work alongside these disbelievers.

Osman Akın: “We remain today at the same point we were at when this [criminal] case [against me] began. Whatever our creed was, our thought, our ideas, our method… Whatever we said yesterday, we today repeat those same things, and we say them clearly.

[…]

“The Prophet [Muhammad] said: ‘I am commanding you five things that Allah commands of you: one, to hear; two, to obey; three, to be a congregation; four, to make hijra; and five, to wage jihad.’

[…]

“We have gone through a difficult process. The disbelievers have struck us again, and again, and again. We cannot accept this. We cannot accept, simultaneously and parallel with the disbelievers, the striking of Muslims. When the disbeliever are attacking the Muslims this much, and you consider yourself a Muslim and say ‘I am a Muslim’ – how is it that you are [working] in parallel with the disbeliever? Why are you, along with the disbelievers, trying to strike a Muslim society?

[…]

“We do not think with good intentions about those who strike Muslims alongside the disbelievers. Nor do we see good intentions there.”

UK Taxpayers Hand £200mn to Syrian Opposition & White Helmets, Journalist Tells RT

Almost £200 million of British taxpayers’ money has gone to supporting Syrian opposition groups, independent journalist Vanessa Beeley told RT. One of the groups to benefit from the funds are the White Helmets, which are alleged to have links with terrorists.

Speaking to George Galloway on his RT show Sputnik, Beeley said the funds were released from the UK’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) to support the Syrian opposition. She said part of that money was used by the White Helmets to feed media outlets that are rarely in Syria and offer a false narrative of what is happening there.

“If we look at the narrative produced from Aleppo… it never came from the 1.5 million majority in West Aleppo that was government-held and government-protected, but who lost over 11,000 civilians from mortar fire from East Aleppo - so from the Western-backed terrorists in East Aleppo.

“The narrative came from East Aleppo and it came from affiliates of Nusra Front, which included the White Helmets and from citizen activists that had been produced in Gaziantep [in Turkey], with money coming in from the UK government,” she added.

“[The UK government] actually admitted very recently that almost £200 million [US$260 million] has gone from this public fund into funding the Syrian opposition inside Syria.

“So in other words, all of these journalists, media activists, who were trained in Turkey and then infiltrated back into Syria, to produce the propaganda, and that includes the White Helmets."

The White Helmets have been hailed by the Western media as “peace-bearing heroes” who save lives. A Netflix documentary film praising the group as “unarmed and neutral civilian volunteers” even won an Oscar for best documentary short feature in February.

However, the group has long been plagued by allegations of having ties with terrorist groups. Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said in April that the White Helmets are involved in covering up terrorist crimes.

“The White Helmets not only feel at home on territories controlled by Al-Nusra Front and Islamic State, but also openly express positive attitudes towards them, providing them with information and even financial assistance,” she said at the time.

Beeley has previously told RT that Aleppo residents, who have lived under terrorist rule for five years, “witnessed the White Helmets working alongside Al-Nusra Front as well as participating in executions and torture and working as an Al-Nusra Front civil defense unit.”

She went on to say that the “White Helmets is a major construct funded by the UK, the US, the EU and the Gulf States that promulgates the propaganda against the Syrian government and the Syrian Arab Army,” and that this can partly explain the media silence when such scandals emerge.

In June, a member of the White Helmets was caught on camera helping a group of unidentified militants disposing of bodies of beheaded Syrian Army or pro-government soldiers in Daraa province.

In another incident in May, footage emerged showing several members of the group’s rescue team helping to remove a body of a man shot dead by rebels in the town of Jasim, also in Daraa province.

Then there was the fact that several White Helmets videos featured the same girl.

In fact, many of the mainstream media videos of shocking suffering in Syria are fake and many were not even shot in Syria.

‘No One Shot at Evacuees’: Filmmaker Who Witnessed Aleppo Liberation

Another international journalist discredits MSM reporting in Aleppo. Admittedly, this comes from RT with it's built-in bias, but most of the words come from the Bolivian documentary maker herself. You won't see this on western MSM because that would insinuate that they were fooled by the fake news and guilty of very sloppy journalism.
