After months of blocking Turkey’s negotiations to join the European Union and the growing migration crisis, German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Ankara last week. She offered to help revive Turkey’s stalled talks on EU membership, if it helped stem the migrant flow to Europe.
Turkish president Erdogan said, “The West and Europe’s security and stability is contingent on our security and stability. They have accepted this now. In the talks held in Brussels last week they accepted all this. If it can’t happen without Turkey, why don’t you take Turkey into the EU?”

It is extremely upsetting to see, when a descendant of the Ottoman Caliphs from the former lands of the Ottoman Khilafah trades the care for refugees in order to obtain the EU’s permission to join this union, which has nothing in common with the values of the Turkish Muslim nation.
It is extremely upsetting to see, when Turkish rulers whose authority is settled on the former capital of the Khilafah, Istanbul, use the issue of caring for refugees as a tool in their election campaign to parliament, which will issue non-Islamic laws to be implemented by these rulers upon the Muslims of Turkey.
It is extremely upsetting to see, when those rulers while being obliged to save the Muslim Turkish nation from humiliation stooping for decades asking permission to join the EU. In their desire to join EU they threaten Europe that they will join Shanghai Cooperation Organisation if it refuses to accept them, while Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is an organization led by Russia, which is famous for its crimes against Muslims inside and outside its borders.
It is extremely upsetting to see, how modern Turkey, the capital of Khilafah, became a tool in the struggle between America and Europe and used by America to create economical and interethnic problems inside Europe by the flow of refugees. It is well known that in the past months, Turkey allows refugees to infiltrate its western border, while creating obstacles for Syrian refugees to obtain resident permits, which gives them rights to work legally and use medical care. On the other hand in order to widen the division in EU, America wants Turkey to join EU since Turkey is a reliable and submissive American partner.
It is extremely upsetting to see, when the president of a country with a Muslim population wants to be an outpost for the security of non-Muslim countries. Against which enemy should this outpost be used, according to Erdogan? Against Muslims? Erdogan ought to be ashamed of himself for confusing which side of barricades he is. Should he not be a security outpost for the Islamic Ummah from attacks and crimes caused by western countries in Islamic world, as it was over a period of centuries under the shade of the Ottoman Khilafah?
The support of Assad by western countries led by America against Syrian Muslims is the real cause why Assad depopulates Muslims in Syria by any means, while all red lines are shifted when this criminal violates them. It is this support that initiated multimillion waves of refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and other countries.
Do Erdogan and his supporters have no political consciousness to realize that EU will not permit Turkey to join in any conditions? Do not they realize that EU merely wants to undermine Turkey’s economic and political stability by imprisoning refugees within Turkish borders? It has been proven of the undisguised abuse of Turkish leadership which took place at 25th of October in Brussels, when Turkish delegation was not invited to the EU summit on refuges.
Instead of begging behind the gates of such unions as EU and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation for decades bargaining with the issue of refuges, Erdogan should return to the implementation of Islam in foreign issues by uniting all Muslim countries and proclaiming real Islamic union which is a Second Righteous Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood. Texts of Quran and Sunnah demand from him as a ruler who possesses army and state machines to mobilize them in order to save Syrian Muslims. Islam demands from him to mobilize the brave Turkish army to enter Syria and put end to the Syrian regime, which is the real cause of the refugee crisis, and as a result the noble Syrian revolution will end with the establishment of a real Islamic state on the method of the Prophethood. Syrian refuge crisis needs a fundamental solution but not another anesthesia which serves foreign interests of hostile superpowers.
In conclusion, I want to appeal to some Muslims that are seduced by Erdogan’s Islamic rhetoric.
Dear brothers and sisters,
We should not be deceived by such actions and words of Erdogan as his demarche in Davos, his promise to stop any slaughter, as slaughter in Syrian city Baniyas, and his words “If in the early 90’s Turkey was as powerful as today, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict would not occur.”
These words and actions done to protect Muslims deserve praise if they come from an ordinary Muslim, but when we say about a ruler that possesses a brave Muslim army, that the necessary reaction for him is to mobilize his army not to use words and demarches. This was the reaction of righteous ancestors of Erdogan and Turkish Muslims, and this reaction should be implemented by their descendants in all times till the Day of Judgment.
