The head of the Communication Department of the Turkish Presidency, Burhanettin Duran, strongly condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by some ministers in the Jewish entity with extremist groups under police protection. Duran said in his statement: "As our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has confirmed, our Al-Aqsa Mosque, our first Qibla, is our red line" (TV 24, 08/04/2025).

Comment:

Since its usurpation of Palestine in 1948, the Jewish entity has committed countless massacres and crimes, and carried out countless raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque. In the face of these violations and crimes, the cowardly traitor rulers in the Islamic countries have only sufficed with condemnation. Rather, they continued this fever of condemnations, contenting themselves with raising the dose of denunciation slightly to turn it into a strong condemnation! Since 1948, they have not been able to go beyond the condemnation box by even one step. All they did, as I mentioned, was to develop the condemnation to become a strong condemnation, but they remained trapped in the same cycle of denunciation and could not get out of it!

Because the Jewish entity knows that they are cowards and agents, and that they do not dare to harm it or even scratch it without taking permission from their masters in America, it continued to commit massacres and crimes. And it continued to desecrate and pollute Al-Aqsa Mosque, as if it was force-feeding them their statements that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line. Therefore, we ask: Where is Erdoğan's red line? Since Al-Aqsa Mosque is his first Qibla and his red line, why has it been crossed for many years during his 23-year rule, and it is still being trampled on today?! If it is truly a red line, then why does he allow it to be crossed and its sanctity violated? And if it is not, then why does he claim that it is a red line? This proves that Erdoğan's statement about the "red line" is nothing but mere talk, or that it is a speech for public consumption only. As is well known, words alone do not liberate a country or repel an enemy. Because if it were really his red line, he would have considered it an existential issue and a matter of life and death, and he would have mobilized his huge armies lying dormant in their barracks for it, even if it cost him the lives of millions.

There is no doubt that Al-Aqsa Mosque has its sanctity, but what is more sacred than it is the blood of a Muslim, and the proof of that is that the Prophet ﷺ addressed the Holy Kaaba one day while circumambulating it, saying: «How good you are and how good your fragrance is! How great you are and how great your sanctity is! By the One in whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, the sanctity of a believer is greater in the sight of Allah than your sanctity; his wealth and his blood, and that we should only think good of him».

If Al-Aqsa Mosque is your red line, then it is all the more reason that the blood of a Muslim should be your red line. The blood of Muslims has been flowing like rivers in Gaza for almost two years, and the number of martyrs has reached 70,000. Whoever does not move his armies for the blood of Muslims, which is more sacred than the Kaaba and Al-Aqsa Mosque and of greater sanctity than them, it is naive to expect him to move them for Al-Aqsa Mosque. They condemn the violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa, and they also condemn the violation and killing of what is more sacred and greater than it. They simply cannot go beyond the condemnation box.

If there remained an atom of faith or dignity or humanity in the rulers of the treacherous Islamic countries - including Erdoğan - they would have mobilized the strong Muslim armies under their command, as Al-Mu'tasim and Muhammad bin Qasim did, to avenge the blood of Muslims that has been flowing for two years in Gaza, not to mention the blood of the people of Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria, and to defend the honor of the insulted Muslim women, and expel the Jews who desecrated Al-Aqsa not only from Palestine but from the face of the earth! But alas! The treacherous rulers of today are not even worth the strap of the sandals of the heroic leaders of the Caliphate. Those will be remembered by history for their heroism, but the rulers of today, headed by Erdoğan, will be remembered for their treachery, and their names will be engraved in the pages of history as traitors with an indelible pen. This shame will not be erased except by declaring the Caliphate, avenging the blood of Muslims, and liberating the holy sites and lands.

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

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

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.
