Turkish Islamist Newspaper Close To Pres. Erdogan Calls To Form Joint Islamic Army To Fight Israel

Turkish Islamist Newspaper Close To Pres. Erdogan Calls To Form Joint Islamic Army To Fight Israel. (Memri).

On December 12, 2017, ahead of the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul,  the Turkish daily Yeni Şafak, which is close to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his ruling AKP party, published an article  titled "A Call for Urgent Action,"[1] which also appeared on the paper's website under the title “What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?"[2] 

The article called on the 57 member states of the OIC to form a joint "Army of Islam" to besiege and attack the state of Israel. It notes that such a joint army will greatly exceed the Israeli army in manpower, equipment and budget, and presents statistics to prove this.

It also advocates establishing joint bases for the army's ground, air and naval forces that will arrive from all over the Muslim world to besiege Israel, while noting that Pakistan, as the only nuclear country, has "a special status" among the OIC countries. An interactive map provides information on military forces stationed in various locations and the role they can play in the potential joint Muslim attack on Israel.

The Source Of The Yeni Şafak Article: The SADAT Company Website

The main points of the article are taken from the website of the Turkish SADAT International Defense and Consulting Company, which provides consultancy on defense and warfare, both conventional and unconventional, and on military organization, training and gear. The company has an agenda of promoting pan-Islamic military cooperation. According to its mission statement, it seeks "to establish defense collaboration and defense industry cooperation among Islamic countries, to help the Islamic world take its rightful place among the superpowers by providing... strategic consultancy and training services to the militaries and homeland security forces of Islamic countries."[3]

According to Israeli security sources, the SADAT company is involved in aiding Hamas, and seeks to assist – with funds and military gear – the creation of a "Palestine Army" to fight Israel.[4]

SADAT Founder Adnan Tanrıverdi

The SADAT company was founded by Erdoğan’s senior advisor on military affairs, retired general Adnan Tanrıverdi, and is chaired by his son, Melih Tanrıverdi. Adnan Tanrıverdi (b. 1944) served in the Turkish army's Artillery Corps and headed the Home Front Command in northern Cyprus.  He is an expert on assymetric warfare, and was dismissed from the Turkish military in 1996 for his Islamists leadnings. A former Turkish army officer, Ahmet Yavuz, described him as "an enemy of Atatürk" and stated that his dismissal from the army was not surprising.[5]

The Yeni Şafak article is based on a PDF booklet featuring a number of articles by Tanrıverdi, as well as other materials, that appeared on the homepage of SADAT's website and has since been removed.[6] Some of the articles are virulently anti-Israel and promote the goal of arming the Palestinians and forming an Army of Islam to eliminate Israel.

One of these articles, titled "SADAT and the Future of the Muslim World" describes Israel as "the outpost of the new Crusade and a dagger in the heart of Islam," and "the eyes, ears and fist of the Christian World." A second article, titled "How to Solve the Palestinian Question?" emphasizes the need to utilize the OIC as the basis for a permanent defense cooperation committee, and also describes his vision of establishing military bases for the purpose of liberating Palestine. An article titled "Palestine Too Should Have an Army" articulates Tanrıverdi's vision of forming a Palestinian army equipped with tanks and other heavy weaponry, and adds that this army, along with a united Army of Islam, can bring about Israel's military defeat within 10 days and its diplomatic defeat within 20 days.

The fact that Yeni Şafak echoes Tanrıverdi's articles indicates that regime-associated media is promoting an agenda of attacking Israel.

"Turkey Is Forming Alliances"

"In recent years, Turkey has launched a series of collaborations with [OIC] member states. The joint military drill with our Iraqi neighbors conveyed a clear message to the terrorists, and Turkey is [also] engaging in new collaborations with Qatar, Somalia and other Gulf and African countries. In this context it should be underlined that Turkey is taking steps to realize the model of the 'Army of Islam,' forging alliances with many Muslim countries to increase its military mobility."

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill called the Russian operation in Syria "holy war".

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill called the Russian operation in Syria "holy war". (NovajaGazeta). [GoogleTranslated].

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill called the fight against members of the terrorist groups in Syria "holy war." He said after the liturgy in the St. George temple on the Poklonnaya Hill, reported Interfax.

The Russian operation in the Middle East, the Patriarch said, the fight against terrorism, not "aggression, not occupation, not to impose their ideologies, not for the support of certain governments."

"That is why today the war against terrorism - a holy war, and God forbid, to have understood all around the world, so that no one shared the terrorists into good and bad, no one connected with the war against terrorism to achieve their own, are often not declared, but really much present in the political thought purposes. Then the war with the enemy, and such funds will be honest too sacred ", - the Patriarch said.

He added that the Great Patriotic War was too sacred, and Russian military "can safely be called Christ-loving army".

Russia participated in the military operations in Syria from 30 September 2015. March 14 Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to begin withdrawing the main part of the Russian military group from Syria, since the tasks set before the Office as a whole performed.

Since the end of February in Syria, on the proposal of Russia and the USA the ceasefire. It does not apply to recognized terrorist and banned in the Russian company ( "Islamic State" and "Dzhabhat An-Nusra").

'Islamist' Turkey's rule of law worse then NAZI Germany.

Judge Metin Özçelik, who accepted the motion for a change of Istanbul Criminal Courts of Peace judges, and Mustafa Başer, who ordered the release of Hidayet Karaca and 62 police officers upon that decision, were suspended and eventually arrested with lightning speed.

For the first time in world history, judges were arrested for their “legal and personal convictions.”

“The legal guaranty of judges,” a sine qua non of judicial independence, was virtually destroyed.

All legal authorities, bar associations, and sitting judges oppose the arrests.

The remark “it puts the final nail in the coffin of judicial security” from the Association of Judges and Prosecutors (YARSAV) summarizes the issue well.

Author and journalist Ahmet Altan says, “Those ordered to be released are not arrestees anymore but captives. Judges were arrested for their rulings. There weren’t such things even in Nazi Germany.”

Even [pro-government] Yeni Şafak’s columnist Ali Bayramoğlu criticizes the arrest of judges yesterday, saying “Turkey, the AK Party, and the members of judiciary should immediately correct that mistake.”

There are charges but no evidence.

Criticisms from politicians after the rulings of arrested judges and the ensuing unlawfulness show that politicization of the judiciary reached deep into all its layers and that impartiality and independence were gone.

The judges are charged with being members of an “armed terrorist group.” But their lawyers say the detention order does not specify which terrorist group they are allegedly involved with. There is no information about the alleged group, its leader and members, or its armed attacks.

There was no lawful surveillance before the ruling about the judges and no one was caught in the act, either. In other words, the authorities thought “let’s arrest you first, we will fabricate evidence and create the basis later.”

These two judges are kept in Silivri Prison without “evidence, ground, or suspicion of escape” just as those 63 arrestees who were not released, despite a court decision.

Declaring the release verdict null and void, and arresting the judges, indicate what kind of dark period Turkey is experiencing.

“Things have gone completely mad!” No need to say more. Hmmm.....Makes you wonder why they even want to hold elections, as they stated already 'If we don't win, we will hold another election' the whole 'Rule of Law' is gone in 'Advanced Islamist dictatorship' Turkey....a.k.a. 'Erdoganistan'.

'Islamist' Turkey- Russia divisions grow, Erdoğan declines Red Square invite.

'Islamist' Turkey- 'Orthodox' Russia divisions grow, Erdoğan declines Red Square invite. (Bugun).

President Erdoğan declines to attend the World War II commemoration at the Red Square, to only be represented by the Turkish Ambassador.

Experts read the development as a sign of growing divisions between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Vladimir Putin, since the Russian President referred to the deaths of Ottoman Armenians in 1915 during World War I as a "genocide" in April.

An outraged Erdoğan had slammed Vladimir Putin and French President Hollande over their visit to the Armenian capital Yerevan, and for attending the commemoration ceremonies marking the centennial of 1915. “We wish that Putin had not gone to Armenia, nor Mr. Hollande. I like to invite the countries who support the Armenian claims to first clean the dark stain in their history.”

Turkey’s exports to Russia have declined by 40 percent in the past year.

Experts fear that the planned “Turkish Stream,” which seeks to deliver Russian gas to to Europe over Turkey, might be delayed as a result of strained relations. 

In March 2015 prior to the “genocide” statement from Putin, Gazprom and the Turkish state pipeline company (BOTAŞ) had agreed to a 10.25 percent discount on gas supplies.

The European Parliament, France, Germany, the Vatican, and Austria have received harsh criticism from Turkey over using the word “genocide." Hmmm.....The 'Sick man of Europe' has transformed in to the 'Angry man of Europe'.

'Islamist' Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs budget alone is greater than those of 10 ministries put together.

'Islamist' Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs budget alone is greater than those of 10 ministries put together. (Sendica).[Googletranslate].

As cultural hegemony in Turkey "Patience, Examination, Gratitude, Submission, Fate" by using the reference legitimize inequality in society and acceptance of these inequalities seen by ordinary working people, to ensure the obedience [1].

In this context, the fact that the rapid increase visibility in the public sphere of religious practices and symbols in Turkey. And construction form the basis of a new growth model based on urban rent period according to almost all of Turkey has turned into a huge construction site. These pillars of the construction of shopping malls, TOKI houses and newly built mosques and a much more grandiose than previous. In the bottom of the mosque, usually shops, stores are taking place. Thus, private property, profit and commerce, is justified in the public eye with the mosque.

'Used in new developments, describing instead of political Islam and the trio "Market Islam" [2], is used as a means of completely destroying the welfare state through privatization. Just as in America, religion is, in a public space reinterpreted Trying to sit right in the middle.

This development feeds the traditional Islamic religious references from public opposition rather than a stance. If only the government take measures to accelerating economic growth through market falls. Religious glossary of "alms", "charity", "with the foundation of" basic concepts such as r is offered as an alternative to the welfare state as a new social policy tools.

In recent years, the Central Government Budget and the appropriations allocated to the religious affairs of other opportunities to see the increase as part of the big picture will be more accurate. 

In this context, the 2015 Central Government Budget for the Presidency of Religious Affairs (MFA) is leaving an allowance of $ 5.743 billion. This figure religious activities extrabudgetary sources (communities, etc.) provided the resources or resources that are not included in the General Budget apart from other organizations. This appropriation coincides 1.21% of total appropriations in this state.

So the Religious Affairs Directorate, including Culture and Tourism, Economy, Development, Environment and Urban Development, Foreign Affairs, Health, and Energy and Natural Resources of the individual budgets of the seven ministries where the Ministry and Development + Economy + Environment and has a budget surplus of the total budget of the Ministry of Urbanism.

MFA 2015 to 95% of the budget consists of personnel expenses allowance. Digital distribution of the staff employed within the institution of the military and paramilitary structures of the Central Government Budget as well as the structure of the religious conservatives reveal. So much so that the end of June 2013 as the bottom of 128.751 thousand of regular (full official), including a total of 141.911 employees available. In the year 2015 8861 budget bill, said the Authority's introduction of any new staff will be made. (One official for every 60 Turks).

In 2013, on the other hand, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, 17.683; Ministry of Environment 27.307; Ministry of Science and Art Technology 5,139; That the Ministry of Economy 4.690 and Development of the Ministry of just 2,019 employees, most naive interpretation, the government's development and has left the development subject to the discretion of the whole capital, millions find college graduates shows that the effort to create an employment opportunity with respect to their areas.

According to the MFA Draft Budget, to be held in 2015, the Koran course tutorial of graduates of religious high schools under the protection of the Child Protection Agency, assigning staff to do the muezzin-trustees. 

In 2105 the institution will train a total of 1 million 700 thousand students in the Koran courses, this year one million printed and distributed three monthly magazine edition is understood to be released 2 million 340 thousand.

This statement of the institutions to be able to complete by 2014 the number of motor vehicles. Religious Affairs of 1,140; 2,510 Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Defense 11, 490; 1,595 Ministry of Interior; Gendarmerie General Command 7,486; Security General Directorate of 33.461, while the current motor vehicle; Ministry of Education, 2,807; 29 Ministry of Economy and Development Ministry of six motor vehicles available.

Another dimension to the 2014 budget through a single sectarian (Sunni) fosters a devout budget. With this budget Alevis, non-Muslims, atheists and taxes Diyanet, creating resources for imams and mosques. So much so that one denomination to serve 90 thousand mosques, imams 140 thousand, 50 thousand religious education staff available [3].

In addition, as mentioned in another paper [4], leaving a considerable source of religious affairs from the Ministry of Education budget. For 2015, the General Directorate of Religious Education appropriations allotted amount of TL 2.5 billion. These resources equivalent to 4% of the budget falls Ministry. So the bottom with 5.7 billion allocated for religious affairs find the total resources allocated 8.2 billion and total shareholders comes to 1.73%.

Dinselleştir The way society is not limited to the MFA or Ministry of Education spending budget. Size of business taxation were made ​​accordingly. Accordingly, such "found in food banking activities to help the poor associations and foundations, donated food, hygiene, clothing, and can be written as an expense all costs of fuel material" [5] . Structures of this aid are also being held exemption from the KDV[6] . Of food banks that associations and foundations is a large part of Lighthouse Assistance and Solidarity Association, Starfish Social Assistance and Solidarity Association, Speed ​​Assistance and Solidarity Association, as well as in Human Study of Cultural and Educational Foundation example linked to sects and communities. Poor citizens to food, fuel, clothing distributes such associations and foundations to be deducted from the proceeds of all of the aid, the donations "a big tax benefit" provides. Political power is doing via such associations and political foundations.

They also engaged in providing religious education facilities with an arrangement established in 2012 and who opened the course work toward the expenses Income and Corporation can fall from the tax base. As a result of the reduced tax revenues from this arrangement still wage laborers, more excise duty from the public, KDV collection, privatization, debt or oil, it will meet with a real bump in power and natural gas prices. Hmmmm......Google translate makes a poor job of translating Turkish to English. Still what is obvious is that while Pakistan is considering becoming a secular state, Turkey is turning in to a hardline Islamist regime.

Fertilizer, Also used for Bombs, Flows to ISIS Territory From 'Sometimes NATO Ally' Turkey.

Fertilizer, Also Suited for Bombs, Flows to ISIS Territory From 'Sometimes NATO Ally' Turkey. (NYT).

AKCAKALE, Turkey — The laborers work all day, piling bags of fertilizer onto carts and wheeling them through the crossing that connects this southern border town to Syria.

The Syrian town next door is firmly controlled by the extremists of the Islamic State, as is clear from the black flag flying over downtown. And while the fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, is widely used for agriculture, it has also been used by terrorists around the world — including the Islamic State — to build powerful explosives.

Few here think the fertilizer is meant to help Syrian farmers.

“It is not for farming. It is for bombs,” said Mehmet Ayhan, an opposition politician from Akcakale who is running for Parliament. But he did not oppose the deliveries, saying they created jobs in his impoverished town.

“As long as the Turkish people benefit from this — regardless of where it goes on the other side — it is a good thing,” Mr. Ayhan said.

The open transport of ammonium nitrate into Islamic State territory points to lingering questions about Turkey’s commitment to isolating its jihadist neighbors. Yet for the people here, the cross-border trade offers some relief in an economy that has been battered by the war in Syria.

Analysts said Turkey had recently made efforts to secure its border and to halt the flow of foreign fighters. But the country still allows cross-border trade that gives the Islamic State access to goods from energy drinks to fertilizer.

“Trade continues to go into the north, not just to ISIS, but ISIS is a tangential beneficiary of the trade policy,” said Aaron Stein, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute who studies Turkey. Hmmm.....As long as Obama protects his BFF Erdogan this 'game' will continue, Erdogan is Iran and Isis their 'lifeline'.Read the full story here.

Turkish Pro 'Islamist' gov't paper Yeni Akit publishes article claiming Erdoğan is caliph.

Turkish Pro 'Islamist' gov't paper Yeni Akit publishes article claiming Erdoğan is caliph. (TZ).

While the discussion over Erdoğan and the government abusing Islam for their political gained momentum, the pro-government daily, Yeni Akit, published an article first published by a pro-government news portal, Haber Seyret, claiming that Erdoğan is a caliph and, along with Davutoğlu, waiting for the appearance of Mahdi, the Messiah.

The article asserted that Mahdi will take an active role in the war in Syria and after the defeat of the armies of the Western powers in that country, he will head for Jerusalem to conquer the city with the help of the caliph.

Moreover, the article claimed that the presidential palace known as "Ak Saray" was constructed to govern the provinces that will be occupied by Mahdi's army. The article also stated that Erdoğan and Davutoğlu want to be martyred fighting against enemies.

Meanwhile, Diyarbakır Bar Association President Tahir Elçi also said on Monday that Erdoğan is violating the Constitution by abusing religious values by holding a copy of Quran while addressing the crowd in several provinces and called on the judiciary to take action against Erdoğan.

"Our laws prescribe that the president cannot be tried except for the offense of treason, but Erdoğan is clearly violating the Constitution," Elçi noted.


Holding a press conference with a group of lawyers in Diyarbakır, Elçi stressed that Erdoğan has worked to eliminate the state of law and the Constitution, which should be considered a treasonable offense and he called on the judiciary to take action against the violation of the Constitution.

Meanwhile, Selim Temurci, chairman of the AK Party İstanbul branch, criticized opponents of the AK Party, defining them as being "irreligious" for not supporting the ruling party.

Attending an event to mark Handicapped Week on Sunday, Temurci alleged that those who struggle against the AK Party are the ones who are truly handicapped. Hmmm.......I guess they got their 'Caliph' story from the highest authority of the Muslim Brotherhood...'Godfather' Al Qaradawi.I wonder what took them so long?
