Erdoğan Should Address the Sincere Ummah, Not the Guardians of Sykes-Picot

for the Sake of Islamic Unity and Brotherhood!

(Translated)

News:

In his speech to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for more unity and brotherhood among Islamic countries. Erdoğan also said, "We will not allow the establishment of a new Sykes-Picot system in our region, whose borders are drawn in blood." He reiterated that the solution lies in "diplomacy and dialogue."

Comment:

What kind of unity and brotherhood is Erdoğan calling for? And how does he hope to consolidate this unity?

Erdoğan's emphasis on "a solution through diplomacy and dialogue" is nothing but an expression of his desire to maintain the existing "Sykes-Picot system."

The obstacles to unity and brotherhood in Islam are, in fact, the Sykes-Picot borders drawn in blood, the nation-states established within these borders, and the Western-aligned regimes that protect these states. Islamic unity and brotherhood cannot be built by talking about nationalism, or national borders, or protecting the borders of Turkey, Iran, Palestine, Syria, and others, and not by suppressing the unity of Muslims in faith under national identities. Palestine, and Gaza in particular, is a clear example of this. With its borders drawn under Sykes-Picot, the restrictions of Lausanne, its constitution copied from the West, its internal and external policies dictated by international charters, and being the first Islamic country to recognize the Zionist monster as a legal state in order to please its Western masters, doesn't the Turkish Republic represent the clearest evidence of betrayal of brotherhood?

What has Erdoğan contributed to strengthening Islamic brotherhood since he took office as Prime Minister of Turkey in 2003 and then as President in 2014?

Let's put his betrayals in Egypt and Syria aside for now... Since the famous "One Minute!" and "Jerusalem is our red line," he has betrayed the martyrs of the Mavi Marmara flotilla, and doubled Turkey's trade volume with the Jewish entity many times over. While he was uttering countless heartbreaking words about Gaza, he was meeting all the needs of the "Nazi," as he calls the terrorist Jewish entity, providing it with gasoline, steel, military boots, white goods, and foodstuffs... And while he was passing the problems of Muslims on to the makers of Sykes-Picot, who are shattering the Ummah into pieces...

In fact, Erdoğan, who acts as the CEO of this Sykes-Picot institution - or rather, the "Service Company for Zionism" - has done nothing for the medics of Gaza who were burned alive, its doctors who are tortured in Zionist cells, its mothers who undergo Caesarean sections without anesthesia, its children whose limbs are amputated without anesthesia, and its starving children who are burned alive. This is despite the fact that he has the ninth strongest army in the world and the fourth strongest army in NATO... And despite the fact that he has a son-in-law who produces the latest drones in the world, and advanced warplanes... However, he repeats like a parrot the principles of the advocates of Sykes-Picot - emphasizing that the solution "lies in diplomacy and dialogue" and "the two-state solution"!

In short: Erdoğan's conception of brotherhood is not Islamic brotherhood! His call for Islamic unity is not in the unity shown by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The figures that Erdoğan addresses with his call for unity are the insignificant ones who seek to stifle the word of truth among Muslims, and who stand as obstacles to the Ummah's dignity. If the genocidal Jewish entity, which realizes that shedding the blood of Muslims in Palestine and the blood of the children of Gaza and anyone else is its sole purpose in existence, still exists and is becoming more brutal with increasing boldness, the reason is clear: It is because of Erdoğan, who, just like the Arab rulers, seeks power and dignity in capitalist systems, not in Islam, and who sides with his disbelieving friends instead of being in the ranks of the Ummah.

If Erdoğan wants Islamic unity, there are millions of Muslims who have united for Gaza, waiting for one order to come out of his mouth. If Erdoğan wants Islamic brotherhood, there are millions of Muslims who are in pain for their brothers and sisters, and who long to become soldiers in the army, they will set off at his command.

If Erdoğan were sincere, he would address the sincere Muslims, not the protectors of Sykes-Picot. And if he were, he would suggest unity under the Quran and Sunnah, not capitalist diplomacy as a solution!

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

(Translated)

News:

The high-level United Nations international conference entitled "Finding a Peaceful Solution to the Palestinian Issue and Implementing the Two-State Solution" was held in New York on July 29 and 30, led by France and Saudi Arabia. Following the conference, which aimed to recognize Palestine as a state and end the war in Gaza, a joint declaration was signed. In addition to the European Union and the League of Arab States, Turkey also signed the declaration along with 17 other countries. The declaration, which consisted of 42 articles and an annex, condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood carried out by Hamas. The participating countries called on Hamas to lay down its weapons and demanded that it hand over its administration to the Mahmoud Abbas regime. (Agencies, July 31, 2025).

Comment:

Considering the countries running the conference, the presence of America is clearly evident, and despite not having the authority or influence to make decisions, the Saudi regime, its servant, accompanying France is the clearest evidence of this.

In this regard, French President Emmanuel Macron stated on July 24 that France would officially recognize the Palestinian state in September, and would be the first G7 country to do so. Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau held a press conference at the conference, announcing the goals of the New York Declaration. In fact, in the statement issued after the conference, the massacres of the Jewish entity were condemned without taking any punitive decision against it, and Hamas was asked to disarm and hand over the administration of Gaza to Mahmoud Abbas.

In the new Middle East strategy that America seeks to implement based on the Abraham Accords, the Salman regime represents the spearhead. Normalization with the Jewish entity will begin after the war, with Saudi Arabia; then other countries will follow, and this wave will turn into a strategic alliance extending from North Africa to Pakistan. The Jewish entity will also receive a security guarantee as an important part of this alliance; then America will use this alliance as fuel in its conflict against China and Russia, and to include Europe completely under its wings, and of course, against the possibility of establishing the Caliphate.

The obstacle to this plan currently is the war in Gaza and then the anger of the Ummah, which is increasing and is about to explode. Therefore, the United States preferred that the European Union, the Arab regimes, and Turkey take the initiative in the New York Declaration. Thinking that accepting the decisions contained in the declaration would be easier.

As for the Arab regimes and Turkey, their mission is to please the United States, protect the Jewish entity, and in return for this obedience, protect themselves from the anger of their peoples, and live a humiliating life with the crumbs of cheap power until they are thrown away or afflicted with the torment of the afterlife. Turkey's reservation on the declaration, on the condition that the so-called two-state solution plan is implemented, is only an attempt to cover up the real goal of the declaration and mislead Muslims, and it has no real value.

In conclusion, the path to liberating Gaza and all of Palestine is not through a fictitious state in which Jews live. The Islamic solution for Palestine is the rule of Islam in the usurped land, which is to fight the usurper, and to mobilize the armies of Muslims to uproot the Jews from the blessed land. The permanent and radical solution is to establish the Rightly Guided Caliphate and protect the blessed land of Isra and Mi'raj with the shield of the Caliphate. God willing, those days are not far away.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stone and the tree, and the stone or the tree says: O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him." (Narrated by Muslim)

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

The News:

Most of the political and security news in Lebanon revolves around the issue of weapons targeting the Jewish entity, without any other weapons, and focusing on it by most political analysts and journalists.

Comment:

America is asking for the weapons that fought the Jews to be handed over to the Lebanese army, and it does not care about any weapons that remain in the hands of all the people, which can be used internally when it finds an interest in doing so, or between Muslims in neighboring countries.

America, the greatest enemy of us Muslims, said it frankly, even rudely, when its envoy Barack stated from Lebanon that the weapon that must be handed over to the Lebanese state is the weapon that can be used against the Jewish entity occupying blessed Palestine, and not any other individual or medium weapon because this does not harm the Jewish entity, but rather serves it and serves America and the entire West in inciting it to fight between Muslims under the pretext of takfiris, extremists, reactionaries, or backward people, or other descriptions that they fuel among Muslims under the pretext of sectarianism, nationalism, or ethnicity, or even between Muslims and others who have lived with us for hundreds of years and found nothing from us but the preservation of honor, money, and life, and that we were applying the laws to them as we apply them to ourselves, they have what we have and they are obligated to do what we are obligated to do. For the Sharia ruling is the basis of governance for Muslims, whether among themselves, or between them and other subjects of the state.

As long as our greatest enemy, America, wants to destroy or neutralize the weapon that harms the Jewish entity, then why focus on that among politicians and media professionals?!

Why are the most important topics raised in the media and in the Council of Ministers, at the request of the American enemy, without examining them in depth and clarifying the extent of their danger to the nation, the most dangerous of which is the demarcation of the land borders with the Jewish entity, that is, the official recognition of this occupying entity, in a way that no one after that has the right to carry weapons, any weapons, for the sake of Palestine, which is the property of all Muslims and not only the people of Palestine, as they try to convince us as if it belongs only to the people of Palestine?!

The danger lies in presenting this matter sometimes under the title of peace, sometimes under the title of reconciliation, and at other times under the title of security in the region, or under the title of economic, tourism and political prosperity, and the prosperity that they promise Muslims in the event of recognition of this monstrous entity!

America knows very well that Muslims can never be satisfied with recognizing the Jewish entity, and that is why you see it creeping into them through other things to distract them from the most important fateful matter. Yes, America wants us to focus on the issue of weapons, but it knows that weapons, no matter how powerful, will not work and cannot be used against the Jewish entity if official Lebanon recognizes it by demarcating the borders with it, and thus recognizes it and its right to the land of blessed Palestine, under the pretext of the Muslim rulers and the Palestinian Authority.

This recognition of the Jewish entity is a betrayal of God, His Messenger, and the believers, and of all the blood of the martyrs that has been shed and continues to be shed for the liberation of Palestine, and despite all that, we still hope for good in our nation, some of whom are fighting in Gaza, Hashim, and in Palestine, and they say to us with their blood: We will never recognize the Jewish entity, even if it costs us all this and more... So, do we accept in Lebanon to recognize the Jewish entity, no matter how difficult the circumstances are?! Do we accept to demarcate the borders with it, that is, to recognize it, even if the weapons are left with us?! It is the question that we must answer before it is too late.
