You Really Deserve a Nobel Prize!

News

President Erdogan made statements regarding various issues during a meeting where he met together with television and newspaper chief editors. Erdogan who expressed that even the fact that nearly 4.5 million people, fled from conflicts and crises especially in Syria and in the region, are easefully being hosted in Turkey. This is on its own a success as well. He said, “Actually, Turkey must be given Nobel Peace Prize because of this refugee policy which was completely carried out by its own devotion. We exerted ourselves only as a matter of our kindness and culture, and not because we expected something in return. Yet, we will continue in the same way. That's 4.5 million, 5 million. There is no other example in the world.” (Haberturk 15.07.2019)

Comment

The capitalist ideology has polluted every inch of the earth without any exceptions by the order of democracy. This polluted atmosphere especially causes the disappearance of the purity, sharpness and clarity of ideas and thoughts. And our rulers, who make an appearance in this dirty climate, do not abstain from using the society for their political interests by taking advantage of this situation.

The President’s desire to be appreciated by the Western countries with a Nobel Prize as a symbolical reward for the hosting of Syrian refugees is to hide the crimes caused by democracy. This is as clear as day for wise Muslims who see with the light of Allah (swt). However, for people from whom the ideological view is far away, these discourses and desires of politicians are a big trick toward the continuation of their reign. The fact that President Erdogan puts the refugees matter forward in especially dilemmas in international relations is not new. Of course, these dilemmas frequently make huge contradictions unavoidable. Thus, on the one hand you mention that the refugees are aided without expecting something in return; on the other hand you complain that Europe did not subsidize the refugees in our country.

Sometimes you do not abstain from using the refugees as a political trump card, and then you pull off by saying that hosting is required by our culture. And again, asserting that hosting to 4.5 million refugees is done without expecting something in return, while at the same time looking forward to a Nobel prize from Western countries is one of the contradictions in this dirty climate. In despite of politicians’ dirty plans, the people tried and still try to host in an honorable way by welcoming millions of their Muslim brothers and sisters with open arms.

Our rulers who make the mankind experience the age of oppression with democracy almost confirm the proverb “they kill the lamb with the wolf; eat it with the shepherd; and mourn with its owner” by their actions.

They really deserve a Nobel! You know why?

Because they keep quiet about the cries of millions of Muslims in Syria, and abstain from sending their armies to the regime that creates troubles. On top of that, because they directly and indirectly take the lead in the political plans of the US, together with Iran and Russia who shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

Because they still could pride themselves on their actions regarding refugees, while this politics is the reason for the fact that millions of Muslims are deterritorialized obligatorily, and became refugees. Because Turkey split the ranks of resistance over trust by acting like a friend and helper, at a time when resisters delivered big blows to the regime, Iran and the party which is its tail. You deserved a Nobel ever so much!

Set a trap for the Muslims together with the US; shut your eyes to the killing of the sons of the Ummah by working together with Russia and Iran; cause them to migrate. And then, talk about the protectorate of the oppressed by using a pompous language on hosting refugees. You consider hosting 4.5 million refugees as a pride by saying “there is nothing like this in the world”, yes, you are right. Working together with the US, Russia and Iran to the disadvantage of Muslims, and deterritorializing them, and then taking pride in hosting are matchless ways of behavior. Millions of Muslims have used their body as a shield against oppression, the oppressor and the disbeliever, and shed their blood for the domination of Islam. However, the rulers really have deserved a Nobel, because they visited country by country for the settling of democracy, and served the US!

Mr. Erdogan! Our ancestors were the protectorates of Muslims from the opening and administration of these lands until 1924. They did not get the blood of their brothers into their hands. They considered the hosting of Muslims, who fled from the molestation of disbelievers and became refugees, as a derogation, not as a boast.

They even did not think of working together with the disbelievers to the disadvantage of Muslims. They considered the betrayal to Islam and Muslims as the greatest trouble. They considered keeping quiet about helping the cries as unfortunateness, looking on the killing of their brothers and sisters as cruelty, and handing over the people, who took refuge in them from the enemy, as oppression.

If you really had thought, you would have worried about persuading the believers, not the West. You would have sought the reward in the reward of Allah, Lord of the worlds, not in the Nobel of the bloody-minded West. Do not forget this:

(مَنْ كَانَ يُر۪يدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلّٰهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَم۪يعًاۜ اِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَد۪يدٌۜ وَمَكْرُ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ)

“Whoever desires honor, then all honor lies with Allah alone. Towards Him ascends the pure word, and the righteous deed uplifts it. As for those who plot evils, for them there is a severe punishment, and their plot itself will perish.” [Fatir: 10]
