US President Trump praised Türkiye and its president during the Future Investment Initiative conference in Miami on March 29, 2026, after reviewing other countries’ stances on the US and Jewish aggression against Iran. “I think Türkiye was fantastic. Actually, fantastic. And they stayed out of things that we asked them to. And he’s a great leader,” Trump said, referring to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Trump’s lavish praise of Erdoğan and his description of him as a great leader have a meaning that is obvious to any reasonable person. He had previously praised him, saying that he loves Erdoğan and Erdoğan loves him. This is a testimony from Trump, the head of kufr (disbelief), the enemy of Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw), and the believers, regarding Erdoğan’s loyalty to America and the significant services he has provided to it. All of this unequivocally demonstrates the importance of the services that Erdoğan’s Türkiye has provided to this criminal enemy for the past 24 years.

Trump, whose goal is encapsulated in the slogans “America First” and “Make America Great Again,” praises Erdoğan and his cronies in government as “fantastic” and “wonderful” because they serve his purpose. They have kept Türkiye out of the fray, meaning they have kept it out of the sphere of intervention to support Muslims and their countries against American and Jewish aggression against Iran, and previously against Gaza, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Erdoğan allows these enemies to destroy a Muslim country, Iran, which was conquered by Muslims during the reign of the Khaleefah Rashid (Rightly Guided Caliph) Umar ibn al-Khattab (ra). The Americans are preparing to occupy it or directly dominate it, yet Erdoğan allows them to kill Muslims without intervening to support them. They have “stayed out of [the] things” that Trump asked them not to enter!

The same occurred during the Jewish aggression against Gaza, which was fully supported by America. America asked Türkiye and others in the region to stay out of the war and explicitly advised them, through its president and former US Secretaries of State, Biden and Blinken, not to intervene so as not to escalate the conflict. The Jewish entity has been committing genocide in Gaza for two years, and continues to do so, destroying the city. Moreover, Erdoğan and his cronies in power have not only “stayed out of [the] things” Trump asked them to by not supporting Gaza, they actually supported the aggression instead, by not severing ties with the Jewish entity and by continuing trade with it. They supply the Jewish entity with food and water for its murderous soldiers, raw materials for weapons manufacturing, and oil and gas from its ally, Aliyev, the ruler of Azerbaijan, to fuel its tanks and aircraft.

Now the Jewish entity has closed Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa in an attempt to seize it and divide it between Muslims and Jews, as it did with the Al-Masjid Al-Ibrahimi in Al-Khalil (Hebron). Meanwhile, settler mobs, protected by their soldiers, are attacking Muslims in the West Bank, while Erdoğan’s Türkiye refrains from intervening, following American recommendations to avoid escalating the conflict!

Erdoğan's Türkiye did not intervene when the Jewish entity, with American support, destroyed Syria’s weapons, including aircraft, tanks, airfields, camps, weapons factories, and ammunition depots. The Turkish army, stationed near these locations, and within Syria, stood by and watched. Then, with American support, the Jewish entity occupied new areas, reaching the outskirts of Damascus, and declared the establishment of a safe zone in southern Syria. This was done in obedience to America, so they “stayed out of [the] things” that Trump told them not to enter!

Therefore, Türkiye does not intervene while the Jewish entity, with American support, attacks Lebanon, attempting to destroy the weapons and forces that could threaten it there, and then works to establish a safe zone south of the Litani River.

Just as Trump demanded of Türkiye, he also demanded of the region’s countries that they not intervene to prevent the war from escalating, and they complied with him submissively. Therefore, he lavished praise on Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Indonesia, in addition to Türkiye, thanking them for their stances and asserting that they had provided tremendous support to America.

Indeed, Erdoğan’s Türkiye and those countries that Trump praised provided astonishing support by remaining silent on the aggression of America and the Jewish entity, by not severing their relations with the Jewish entity, and by not closing the bases that Israel established on their soil and from which it launches its aggression. This allows America and its protégé, the Jewish entity, to eliminate every Muslim power, one after another, until all Muslim countries are devoid of any weapons that could threaten the Jewish entity or American influence.

These countries believe they are acting wisely with these stances and that they will escape the American and Jewish wolves, and that the cycle of violence will not turn against them if they allow others to be devoured. They know that the Jewish entity openly threatens them. Its Prime Minister, Netanyahu, declares his desire to establish a “Greater Israel” stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, aiming to be the sole power in the region, possessing formidable weaponry, while all others must be disarmed of any potential threats.

America, through its ambassador to the Jewish entity, Huckabee, has declared its support for this idea. On February 21, 2026, he stated that he saw no obstacle to the Jewish entity seizing the entire Middle East, considering the land of the Jews to be from the Nile to the Euphrates. Huckabee said, “I’m not sure it would go that far, but it would be a big piece of land... Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose... It would be fine if they took it all.”

America did the same in Iraq in 2003, a country that possessed a force capable of intimidating the Jewish entity and liberating Palestine. America, with the support of Erdoğan’s Türkiye and other regional states, destroyed Iraq, its military capabilities, its weapons factories, assassinated its scientists, and plundered its resources. Türkiye and the Gulf states have since opened military bases to America.

Erdoğan’s Türkiye supported America in its aggression against Afghanistan, and both Türkiye and the Gulf states opened military bases to the US. Türkiye even participated in the aggression under the leadership of the Crusader NATO alliance, and Erdoğan boasted about this, describing Türkiye as one of the strongest supporters of NATO. He cited as examples its support for America and the alliance in Afghanistan, Korea, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

From this, it becomes clear to every rational person, indeed to anyone with even the slightest thinking, that Erdoğan is a huge traitor who allies himself with the kuffar (disbelievers) and provides remarkable and astonishing support to their leader, Trump, and his country. Erdoğan is no different from other rulers of Muslim countries who are loyal to the disbelievers. Therefore, it is imperative not to follow him or justify his actions, but instead to denounce him and all those who are loyal to the disbelievers.

It is also clear to every Muslim who is zealous for his Deen, his lands, and his Ummah, and who hopes to meet Allah (swt) on the Day of Judgment in good stead, that it is a Shariah obligation to work towards overthrowing these rulers and their regimes, uprooting them completely, as they are founded on principles that contradict Islam, and on constitutions and laws imported from the disbelieving West.

Every aware and sincere Muslim is certain that there is no path to liberation (tahrir) and deliverance from these dire circumstances and the hegemony of America and the Jewish entity over the region except through the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood and the unification of Muslim lands under its Rayah (banner). Therefore, it is a Shariah obligation upon the sons and daughters of the Ummah to work with their brothers and sisters in Hizb ut Tahrir to establish it or to support them, and this is the least of Iman.
