Turkish President Erdogan Promotes Koranic Harshness Toward Non-Muslims, And Their Koranic Conquest

15

Notwithstanding any limited “support” Turkey may (or may not) have provided the successful U.S. raid this weekend, which liquidated ISIS’s al-Baghdadi, Turkish President Erdogan made some revealing, indeed pathognomonic remarks, during last Friday’s (10/25/19) prayers in Istanbul’s Great Camlica Mosque.

A Turkish writer in exile who is a very fluent, gifted Turkish to English translator, translated (below) the triumphal report by Yeni Akit, an outlet enamored of the Turkish President and his traditionalist Islamic political party, the AKP.

On October 25, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the Friday prayers at the Great Çamlıca Mosque in Istanbul. He was accompanied by Istanbul’s governor Ali Yerlikaya, mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, Istanbul’s chief of police Mustafa Çalışkan and the head of the Istanbul branch of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Bayram Şenocak.   After the Friday prayers, hafiz İshak Danış recited from the Koran Sura Al-Fath (which means “victory, triumph, conquest” in English, Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.” ). Then Erdogan took the microphone, reciting a part of the verse in Arabic and then in Turkish. He told the congregants: “My dear brothers. First of all, I congratulate your holy Friday. The Koranic verses that Danış just recited commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels). Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed. So [the Koran] also commands us to be merciful to each other. So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.” Erdogan then went on to refer to another Koranic verse (61:13: “And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love – victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.”)  in Arabic: “Inshallah, God has promised us in Syria (in Turkish): ‘Nasrun minallahi ve fethun karib ve beşşiril mu’minin.’ [‘Victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers.’]. We see it is happening right now. With the permission of Allah, we will see it even more. I will meet some presidents of foreign countries at the Dolmabahce Palace today. I ask for your permission now to go there.”

Authoritative Koranic commentaries—classical and modern—as well as canonical hadith, traditions of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, support Erdogan’s hateful and predatory views toward non-Muslims.

The Egyptian polymath al-Suyuti (d. 1505) was recognized as a brilliant jurist, historian, and biographer, among whose many scholarly contributions are about twenty works of Koranic studies, including seminal Koranic commentaries. Suytui’s Tafsir al-Jalalayn (co-written with his mentor al-Mahalli), as the great contemporary Dutch Islamologist Johannes J.G. Jansen (d. 2015) noted in his treatise “The Interpretation of the Koran in Modern Egypt,”  remains one of the most popular as well as the most authoritative Koranic commentaries in Egypt. Maulana Muhammad Shafi (d.1976), was a former grand mufti of India (prior to the August, 1947 partition), and author of Maariful Quran, which remains the best-known Koranic commentary in Urdu, and a major, influential modern interpretation of the Koran. Shafi also wrote more than three hundred books, and in addition to these literary works, broadcasted tafsir of the Koran on Radio Pakistan for a number of years.

Below are the authoritative glosses by al-Suyuti, and Shafi on Koran 48:29, and 61:13, respectively:

(Suyuti; 48:29): “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him—his Companions among the believers (Muslims)—are fierce to the unbelievers, and do not show mercy on them, merciful to one another—gentle with one another, and showing mutual love as between parents and their children.”

(Suyuti; 61:13): “And He (Allah) will give you other blessings in the things you love: support from Allah and imminent victory. Give good news to the believers (Muslims)—of victory and conquest.”

(Shafi; 48:29): “The first quality of the Companions mentioned here is that they are hard against the unbelievers, and merciful to one another. It was proven time and again that they were harsh against the unbelievers. They sacrificed all their ethnic and tribal relations for the sake of Islam. This was especially demonstrated on the occasion of Hudaibiyah….In a Hadith, the Holy Prophet has said, ‘He who loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah has attained the highest degree of faith’”

(Shafi; 61:13) “There is one blessing that will be granted right here in this world, which is the Divine help and an imminent victory, that is, conquests of enemy territories….it would include all later Islamic conquests of Arab and non-Arab territories.”

The canonical hadith (Sunan Abu Dawud 4681; p. 200)  cited in part by Shafi from his gloss on Koran 48:29, reads in full:

“It was narrated from Abu Umamah, that the Messenger of Allah, said, ‘Whoever loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah, he will have perfected his faith.’ ”

By Islamic consensus, The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute For Islamic ThoughtThe Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre, Amman, Jordan has defined, and epitomizes, “mainstream Islam.” Each year, this authoritative, mainstream international Islamic organization puts out the “The Muslim 500—The World’s 500 Most Influential Muslims.” The major aims of this mainstream Islamic organization, per its 2007 Charter, are:

–“to protect, preserve and propagate traditional, orthodox, ‘moderate’ Islam as defined by the international Islamic Consensus on the ‘Three Points of the Amman Message’ arrived at over the years 2005-2006.”

–“to spread knowledge of the ‘Amman Message’ of November 2004 and the principles it contains in so far as these best represent traditional, orthodox, ‘moderate’ Islam.”

–“to establish, propagate and publicize the religious and legal positions of traditional, orthodox, ‘moderate’ Islam on key issues relevant to life in the modern world.”

Acknowledging his stature in Islamdom, and apropos to the RISSC’s own stated commitment to “traditional, orthodox, ‘moderate’ Islam,” Erdogan is ranked #1—the most influential Muslim—in the 2019 The Muslim 500. Turkish President Erdogan’s rather glowing The Muslim 500 profile, notes,

Erdogan was the Prime Minister of Turkey, for 11 years, winning three consecutive elections with a majority (2002, 2007 and 2011), before becoming Turkey’s first popularly-elected president in August 2014, and then securing a second term in the 2018 election.

His 2019 profile adds, almost rapturously,

Erdogan secured 52.5% of the vote in the 2018 Presidential election (electoral turnout was 86%), and thereby avoided a second round runoff. This was a continuation of his remarkable popularity and success at the ballot box over the past two decades…During his terms, Turkey has seen unprecedented economic growth, constitutional reform, and re-emergence as a global Muslim power.

Thus, not only do Erdogan’s Koranic invocations sanctioning harshness towards non-Muslims and their jihad conquest, comport with their authoritative glosses, the Turkish President himself is revered by the mainstream. Global Muslim umma.

Another horrible country to cross off the visiting list. Glad they can afford to lose so many tourists and tourist-dollars. And no way should Turkey now be allowed to join the EU. Is it a member of NATO? Then it must be removed a.s.a.p.

(Muslims)—are fierce to the unbelievers, and do not show mercy on them, merciful to one another—gentle with one another, and showing mutual love as between parents and their children.”

Those interested in how such love expresses itself would do well to read Yasmine Mohammed’s Unveiled in which she records her own experience growing up with Islamic love with her mother and step-father. Canadian authorities wanted to be respectful of other cultures, and so were reluctant to intervene.

What do you expect from the genasider and raper and killer of Assyrian, Armenians and now Kurds. He wants to be next Muhammad to spread the lower form of religion and breed lower form of humans by inbreeding .

Shut down – every – mosque in this country until muslims agree that a Christian Church and or Jewish Synagogue be built in a predominantly muslim country on a one for one basis and their adherents not persecuted or punished in any way – When – that happens then we allow a mosque on a one for one basis.Muslim/islamic problem solved as they will NEVER allow it just as we should NEVER ALLOW ANY mosques IN THIS COUNTRY –

PERHAPS PREZ ERDOGAN LOOKS FORWARD TO EATING AT THE HITLER RESTAURANT THAT THE KURDS HAVE IN NORTHERN SYRIA ONCE HIS TROOPS REOPEN IT! MAYBE HE ATE THERE ALREADY & IS TALKING OUT HIS A– WITH TOO MUCH GAS?
IF THE UMMAH HATES THE KUFARS, WHY DOES THE UMMAH WANT OUR AID & WISH TO LIVE OUTSIDE AREAS OF THE UMMAH AMONG US KUFARS? WHY IS THE UMMAH OFFENDED WHEN THE KUFARS TRY TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THEIR LANDS SINCE THEY DON’T LIKE US KUFARS? THE TURKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO MODERATE AND CIVILIZED WE ARE TOLD, HOW COME THEIR LEADER WHOM THEY LIKE SO MUCH TALKS LIKE THE JIHADIS? JUST SOME QUESTIONS BUT I FEAR THAT THE ANSWERS ARE AS A SONG SAYS. “BLOWING IN THE WIND” CREATED BY JIHADI EXPLOSIVE DEVICES!
LIKE PAM GELLER SAYS, A FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT NOT TO BE BLOWN UP! IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THE UMMAH WANTS TO GIVE US KUFARS THAT RIGHT NOT TO BE BLOWN UP SO WHERE IS THE TRUST NECESSARY FOR ANY KIND OF PEACE TREATY TO BE FOUND SINCE IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT WILL BE FOUND AMONG THE TURKS BASED ON WHAT THEIR LEADER SAYS HE BELIEVES! LAST, HOW CAN THE ISRAELIS OR ANY KUFARS DISCUSS PEACE OVER LUNCH AT HITLER’S RESTAURANT WHERE THE UMMAH LIKES TO EAT?
WOW! FOR ME AS A KUFAR, IT RAISES LOTS OF QUESTIONS LIKE THAT FOR THE UMMAH! DOES ANYBODY THINK THEY WILL EVER GIVE US AN ANSWER? ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND THE UMMAHS’ ACTIONS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD US KUFARS MAKE ME DOUBT THE SINCERITY OF ANY KIND OF PEACE WITH THE UMMAH! SORRY BUT THAT IS REALLY HOW I FEEL, FOLKS!
