Neither the Shanghai Five Nor the European Union; The Only Solution is the Khilafah that Can Save Aleppo, Arakan and Palestine Where the Adhan is Banned!
On his return from Uzbekistan, President Erdogan talked about the European Union process: “For example I say ‘Why should Turkey not be a part of the Shanghai Five?’ I said this to Putin, to Nazarbayev and the other members of the Shanghai Five. Turkey taking part in the Shanghai Five will give her more room to move on this subject. The EU has been stalling us for 53 years. Is such a thing acceptable?” Even though the President’s Shanghai Five statement is new, it is actually not that different from the statement he made in 2013. For whenever relations with the EU go bad, Erdogan uses the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as a bluff against the EU.
The President, who in the past was referred as the “Conqueror of Europe” when he signed the agreement that opened the way for a full membership to the EU in 2005, hard demeanour against the EU, today, will pass. For since its establishment the secular-democratic Republic deems development, modernism and power in Europe and in its decadent values. And it regards the implementation of the European life style as the sole way of reaching “the level of contemporary civilisation”. However; European countries are not accepting Turkey as a member to the EU for the last 53 years due to its Muslim population. And whenever the President wants to protest the EU, he brings up the Shanghai Five and implies that the EU has an alternative. But this is like out of the frying pan into the fire!
The EU that has been an enemy of Islam, has done nothing but exploit the Muslims and sees Turkey as a market. The tyranny, European nations carried out on the Muslims in the Middle East and Africa is not a secret. Is it not the same case for the nations’ member to Shanghai Cooperation Organisation? How can this be presented as a solution to the Muslims. Everybody knows how much both the EU and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is adverse to Islam and the Muslims. Is it not treason against the oppressed Muslims of Asia wanting to take the side of the tyrants? Or are you really unaware of the deeds of those leaders you want to be with as an alternative to the EU. Is it not Russia who bombs Aleppo heavier each day and the invader of Crimea? Is it not China the one that carries out genocide on our brothers in Eastern Turkistan? Is it not Tajikistan who punishes Muslims due to their beards and has banned Muslimahs from wearing their Sharii’ dress? Is it not Kazakhstan who banned praying in public? Is it not Uzbekistan the country where the Muslims are thrown into jail to never get out again? Taking part in the same “union” with these leaders who are the enemies of Islam and the Muslims, means associating in the tyranny of these tyrants.
Neither the EU nor the Shanghai Organisation is a solution for Turkey’s Muslim people. Today, the only solution; for Syria where bombs fall from the sky like rain for the past six years, for Arakan where Muslims are butchered and tortured by Buddhist gangs every day and for Palestine where even the adhan is banned, is the Khilafah Rashidah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood. It is the Khilafah that our forefathers were the banner bearers of and it is the Khilafah that will reunite the Muslims under one shade!
