Turkey’s National Anthem reinterpreted to the tune of 'antisemitic' 'Valley of the Wolves' series

Turkey’s National Anthem reinterpreted to the tune of 'antisemitic' 'Valley of the Wolves' series. (HD).

Turkey’s National Anthem has been controversially reinterpreted to the tune of an ancient Islamic song during the latest episode of a popular Turkish television drama.

Polat Alemdar, the lead character of the controversial “The Valley of the Wolves” franchise, was seen reciting the lyrics of the National Anthem to the tune of “Tala’ al Badru ‘Alayna,” the song that Medina residents are believed to have sung to the Prophet Muhammad upon his arrival after completing the Hijra, the religious migration, in 622.

Soldiers of the Black Flag, a fictional special ops organization founded by Polat Alemdar, was also seen in the Oct. 13 episode joining in the chorus.

However, the reinterpretation of the anthem in “The Valley of the Wolves” drew a mixed reaction on social media. Twitter user @OnrCan10 praised the “new anthem” and tweeted that “This scene will become a legend.” But @fsn57 was among the naysayers, tweeting: “It’s not easy to keep your sanity. You simply can’t sing the national anthem like that!”

“The Valley of the Wolves,” which has dominated Turkish viewing figures since its first episode in 2003, is back this season on Kanal D. Created by local director Osman Sınav, the show became an instant hit with its references to contemporary politics, its unabashed appeals to Turkish patriotism, and its unprecedented scenes of violence, according to Hürriyet Daily News reviewer Emrah Güler.

The show is also hugely popular in several countries, especially in the Middle East, and has reportedly triggered riots in Jordan, inspired a Yemeni man to kill five people, and encouraged many Sudanese youths to remodel their image and ape Turkish style.

Hollywood actors such as Andy Garcia, Sharon Stone and Billy Zane have also appeared in “The Valley of the Wolves.”


The series and movie 'Valley of the wolves' has been labeled  'Antisemitic' by a number of groups, so it's no wonder the 'New 'Islamist' Turkey' would choose this version of 'national Anthem' time for Turkish Jews to leave as fast as they can. 

In one scene, an Israeli soldier asks Alemdar why he came to Israel, to which the hero replies, "I didn't come to Israel, I came to Palestine."

Others have taken note of the fact that the slickly-produced film's premiere coincided with Holocaust Remembrance Day. "This is a very disturbing situation for Jews," Gabby Levy, Israel's ambassador to Ankara, is quoted by Reuters as saying. "I can't understand why the producers of this movie held the premiere on a day that is extremely important for my people."

"Israel be warned" - Mel Gibson returns to Gallipoli will star in Turkish director Serdar Akar’s new project.(HD).World-renowned Australian actor Mel Gibson will star in Turkish director Serdar Akar’s new project “Çanakkale İçinde” (Within Çanakkale). Akar is known for his TV series “Behzat Ç” and films “Kurtlar Vadisi Irak” (Valley of the Wolves: Iraq), “Barda” and “Dar Alanda Kıa Paslaşmalar” (Offside). Gibson will play a British commander in the film about the Battle of Gallipoli. In 1981, Gibson also starred in another film about the battle called “Gallipoli.”
The film, which will bring audiences to 1915, centers on the heroism and dramas during the Battle of Gallipoli.
Hmmm...The film "Valley of the Wolves" has sparked mass hysteria in the Turkish community. But behind a classic battle between good and evil lies a dangerous agenda, writes EU parliamentarian Cem Özdemir in his review for SPIEGEL ONLINE. The movie’s goal: divide and provoke.The main theme of the movie is revenge (and maybe even the reason for the movie itself). The film follows a Turkish intelligence agent as he seeks to avenge the officers and restore their honor. This wouldn’t be so bad if the film didn’t portray the opponents of Turks and Muslims so brutally –- the bad guys in this black and white world are the Americans, the Kurds, the Christians and the Jews.This film portrays the Kurds of northern Iraq as puppets of the Americans and as a motley crew of dirty, cowardly soldiers with the exception of one soldier who (what else?) sides with the Turks. The Americans’ atrocities include attacking a wedding and killing the groom as well as a child –- in front of its mother of course –- before relishing in the torture of any survivors. The doctor who peddles organs is a Jew who selects his victims as if in a concentration camp before readying their organs for export to the US and Israel. Another traditionally dressed Jew with ringlets of hair (in northern Iraq!) leaves the area at the first sign of danger.  The list could go on. It’s hard to believe that the film is shown with no age limit in Turkey (but has an 18-and-over rating in Germany). The film makes Christians and Jews appear as repugnant, conspiratorial holy warriors hoping to use blood-drenched swords to expand or reclaim the empire of their god. Islam, naturally, is depicted as the opposite –- a religion of peace and mercy. The ostracism of suicide bombers could be seen as positive were it not such a blatant and simplistic portrayal of good and evil.
It’s too easy for director Serdar Akar to defend himself by referring to American war films that portray Asians as racist. He shows he has an agenda by using Soner Yalcin, who espouses a crude thesis on the infiltration of Jews in Turkey, as an adviser and to gain publicity.Hmmm....Perfect team for a 'Turkish' version of Gallipoli?"Fucking Jews...
