A Real Statesman Sets Timetables, But Erdoğan Receives Timetables

President Erdoğan, who went to the NATO Summit in Brussels the capital of Belgium commented to the journalist on the plane about the interaction in Belgium. Here are some of the featured points of Erdoğan: “We have had a positive meeting with them in order to give a new and positive acceleration to the EU membership process.” “…The events that took place during the referendum process need to be left behind. The need to start a new process is now also brought to the agenda by Tusk and Juncker. They have done some work, and now we have a 12-month timetable for this work that they have started doing. We will work on this calendar with the Foreign and EU ministries and according to this we shall take steps.”

Comment:

President Erdoğan received a new homework from the EU. The EU has set a 12-month timetable for Turkey to fulfill this task. Unlike the rulers of today who just take time from others, real statesmen give time, and the Islamic history is filled with such examples. Many statesmen from the Sahaba gave time to Iran and Byzantium to embrace Islam. The following letter was written by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent addressing the king of France, Francois. On the news of the performance of a dance party called Waltz in France, Suleiman the Magnificent wrote this letter saying, “According to report which was given by my ambassador, I heard of men and women who were dancing by clinging each other, and I’m worrying that this sickness will infect my lands. If you don’t terminate this sickness immediately, I will come with my victorious army and destroy you.” (source?)

According to the Western historian Joseph von Hammer, the waltz could not be done in France for many years after this letter.

Now let’s come to these days. Today in Brussels, the rulers who said that all the European countries are enemies of Turkey and appointed them as a crusader alliance just one and a half month ago are now happy because they received 12 months of a new homework schedule from the EU. In fact, they turned the April 16th referendum race into a Crusader-Crescent war. Not long ago, President Erdoğan said to the reports prepared by the EU for Turkey: “The reports which are prepared by Hans and George are not our concern. The reports which are prepared by Ahmet, Mehmet, Ayşe and Fatma are our concern.” He even made the following statement: “We will sit down and talk with the EU after 16 April. These issues will not work like that.” (Reuters)

What happened now? A new process started with the EU and President Erdoğan received a new 12-month time table.

Aren’t you going to ask now? I am asking!

Mr. President, this is what you said yesterday! What makes you eager now to fulfill the new EU prepared 12-month time table? For the sake of Allah! What kind of a U-turn is this! In the history of the Ottoman Caliph Sultan Suleiman (which you claim to love a lot), he was worried that a disgrace in the soil of France (not on his own soil) could infiltrate into the Ottoman lands and gave them time to remove this filth by a single order. But you are taking the time to move all the obscenity and the entertainments in the West to this land with the EU harmonization laws. On top of that, you are declaring the westerns as enemies and crusaders only for show. Who are you fooling?

Don’t you feel ashamed because you fool the society? You know very well that the real hatred of the Western states is not to your person but towards Islam and the Muslims because when you come together with them, you call them your friends. When you meet with the Muslim people, you make them look like enemies. Tell me who the friend is and who the enemy is?

We know who the friend is and who the enemy is. Muslims have never seen and will never see the western infidels as friends. And the unbelievers will never see the Muslims as friends because they are friends of each other. So, for how long will you continue to delude and deceive the Muslims with these lies?
