Collaborating with the US is Haram according to the Shariah, Politically Shortsighted and a Suicide in Face of the Facts

Following the Erdogan-Trump meeting, Presidential Spokesman, Ibrahim Kalın, made this statement. “In the personal and committee meetings emphasis was made on the strategic importance of Turkish-US relations, as well as further economic, trade and defence steps have been assessed. While discussing the struggle against terrorist organisations, with PKK and DAESH in the forefront, also possible steps against FETO were evaluated. The developments in Syria and Iraq have been tackled comprehensively during the meetings.”

Comment:

Before President Erdoğan and Trump’s meeting, some quite different and radical analyses have been made. There were analyses like “the last meeting”, “may be the end”, “relations will be suspended”, “we may get some results on FETÖ and PYD” and the like. However, these analyses have all failed, “the mountain gave birth to a mouse” (something a lot less than what was propagated happened). It has been decided that the Turkish-US relations will not end, and will continue the path as allies.The points that should be noted about this meeting;

  1. The USA is a Kafir state which leads the capitalist ideology that is ultimately the enemy of Islam and the Muslims. Its enmity against Islam became obvious with what happened in Iraq and Afganisthan. Allying the US and making agreements with them is Haram according to the Shariah, politically short sighted, and a dependency and suicide in face of the facts.
  2. US politics has such a depth that it would not change overnight just because the president changed. The only criterion for the US is its own interests. That is why the US has once again laid clearly open that it will operate both with Turkey and Turkey’s enemies (YPG, PYD, “FETÖ”) according to its interests. And the agreements were made despite all of this.
  3. Kufr once again proved that it is one nation. Trump, President of ally US, has ratified the decision of providing PYD with heavy arms. The other ally, Russian President Putin, made the following statement while Erdoğan was flying to the US, “We will continue our collaboration with the Syrian Kurds”. During the same hours the murderer Asad made this statement; “At this point, the fight of the Syrian Kurds is legitimate”
  4. The answer to the question, “What will happen now?” is that the relations between the US and Turkey will grow closer. And this in turn means that Turkey will make more compromises and that it will act according to the US interests. That is why the relations have not ended and instead were recognised as a new beginning. Probably, the first real steps will be taken at the 25th of May NATO Summit. More compromises will be demanded in Iraq and Syria.
  5. During the meeting, subsequent statements made it clearly obvious that perceptions like “The US was behind the 15th July coup attempt” or “The US is fighting against Turkey” never reflected the truth, and that in fact both sides were pleased with each other.
  6. The US failed although it did everything in its power to end the Islamic struggle in Syria, and it will continue to do so. Therefore, it is impossible in the near future that Kufr states, like the USA and Russia, will give up PYD, YPG and similar groups who fight for their interests, no matter if Turkey agrees with it or not.
  7. Despite the committee, which arrived days before and the personal meeting, nothing changed on PYD, YPG or “FETO”. The US neither gave up its support to terrorist organisations in Syria, such as YPG or PYD, nor did it change its view towards “FETO”. This is because its view towards these issues was not based upon lack of information, but rather upon a corrupt understanding.
  8. You will never succeed in pleasing the USA, who occupies Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and other parts of our lands, and which slaughters millions of our brothers and sisters, and who leaves countless children orphaned! No matter if you ally them, open your military bases, and give them your harbours! They will never be pleased with you.
