Turkey’s Secularism - Western Conspiracy against Islam and Muslims

Turkey’s Secularism - Western Conspiracy against Islam and Muslims

By Latheef Farook



Turkey has been known for its great Ottoman empire that covered vast areas of Middle East, North Africa, Balkan and even reached deep into European continent. Its great contribution in many fields for more than six centuries has been common knowledge. However in the aftermath of the World War 1 European colonial powers led by Jews and Britain toppled the Ottoman rule and installed in 1923 a mysterious pro Western and extremely anti Muslim military regime in this country where Islam and Islamic culture have flourished.



The irony is that most Arab rulers, bribed by Jews and Britain, supported them in their conspiracy to topple the Ottoman Empire that was on the decline. This also included the Saudi Royal family which was also installed in power in and around Riyadh by the Jews and the British early last century.



Today, after nine decades, Turkey is passing through its most crucial stage in its struggle to liberate itself from the clutches of the military and regain its political, religious and cultural identity and march ahead with dignity.



Since 1923, Turkey has remained under the ruthless military dominated republic that elected mysterious Mustafa Kemal Ataturk as the president.



Knowledgeable people of all walks of life both in Istanbul and in Ankara, who insisted on anonymity in view of the repression, explained during my recent visit there, that the armed forces and the bureaucracy that they carefully screened and built up remain staunchly secular. Throughout the past nine decades, the military and the bureaucracy have not been not interested in the welfare of the people or the country. Instead, all what they wanted was to retain power at any cost, amass wealth and enjoy the best of comforts.



Explaining the circumstance that led to the toppling of Ottoman rule, they pointed out that during the early last century the Zionist Jews who had decided to set up a Jewish state in Palestine, then an Ottoman province, have unleashed their campaign in full swing to achieve this goal. Time and again, they tried to persuade Ottoman ruler to permit them to colonize Jews in Palestine and late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir too approached the Sultan Abdul Hamid II. However, Sultan refused knowing the conspiratorial nature of Jews as proved after the State of Israel came into being.



Thus the Zionist Jews’ need to topple the Ottoman rule.



Britain, plotting and conspiring to destabilize the Muslim countries during the past few centuries, had its own agenda to exploit a weakened Muslim Turkey which aligned with the defeated Germany during World War 1 .Thus Jews and Britain, backed by other colonial powers, got together and brought down the Ottoman rule .They later divided Ottoman’s colonies in the Middle East as if they were dividing their inherited ancestral property. These powers also installed puppet Arab regimes in their newly carved out states.



Toppling of the Ottoman rule helped Zionist Jews achieve their target. Palestine was brought under British mandatory power that in turn helped colonize Palestine with Jews, drive out the sons and daughters, Palestinians, and thereby establish the state of Israel that remains the sole source of instability in the entire Middle East today



Though freedom of expression was completely suppressed under the military regime , the people in general seems to be very well informed of what goes on within the barracks. From historians, political observers, scholars, journalists and all others explained, of course in secrecy, that the Ottoman rule did not collapse, but was toppled under a conspiracy engineered by the British and the Jews.



They explained that during Ottoman rule a small minority of Jews, now around 16,000, Christians and others especially Alavis who belonged to a Shiite sect, have mastered Turkish language, won the confidence of the Ottoman rulers and managed to get into powerful positions both in the armed forces and administration. Some of them claimed to have embraced Islam in public though they remained faithful to their own religions in secret. They were called “dönme”. One among them was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk-some believe a Jew from Romania, who was a military commander under Ottoman ruler who sent him to Anatolia to fight against the British invaders. Instead of fighting, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was won over by the British. He turned against the Ottoman Sultan under a carefully prepared British conspiracy and joined the invaders that led to the final toppling of six centuries of glorious Ottoman Empire regarded as one of the golden periods of Islamic history.



Once Ottoman rule was toppled the Zionist Jews and Britain placed in high positions these ‘dönme’s in the armed forces and bureaucracy and entrusted the task of separating Islam from Turkish Muslims under the guise of secularism.



The military regime introduced sweeping changes under this well thought out plan aimed at creating a secular society. They annulled Islamic caliphate rule, changed the alphabet of Turkish language from Arabic script to Latin and made the entire population illiterate overnight, placed secularism into the constitution, banned traditional Islamic dress code, introduced western dress, changed Islamic Sharia laws, executed thousands of Islamic religious scholars, banned wearing of head scarf for Muslim women in all government establishments including universities, schools and other such institutions.



Above all the military regime also changed the syllabi in the schools and universities demonizing Ottoman rule to brainwash the younger generation. Thus, the military virtually banned everything related to Islam in its drive to create a western society of wining, dining, gambling, club going and free sex in this deep-rooted Islamic country.



The people in general consider this from the very inception as sheer madness. Will any Muslim military, in its proper sense, do this? Such disastrous policy has been the agenda of only Jews and European colonial powers.



This is the reason why the Turkish people always suspected the military and today their suspicions were proved right with many top officials in the armed forces and bureaucracy turned out to be Jews and Alavis. Only recently, a top retired army officer was found to be a Jew but has been pretending as a Muslims throughout his career. So much the army even entered into an agreement with Israel without consulting the elected parliament.



In the midst, a sham of multi party elections was introduced for the first time in July 1946, to hoodwink both the people and the world alike though the military remained the state within a state, described as Deep State, wielding complete control.



Under the circumstances, every time democratic forces began gathering momentum the military found some pretext to crush them ruthlessly. It happened on 27 May 1960 when the civilian government was toppled in the first military coup and the Prime Minister Adnan Menderes and two other ministers were hanged following the trial in a military court.



Eleven years later, once again democratic and Islamic forces began gathering momentum .This time the armed forces issued a memorandum and overthrew the government on 12 March 1971 in what was regarded as the second military coup against the people.



Once again, political parties were suspended and the democratically elected government was toppled on 12 September 1980 in third military coup. However, the first ever election held on 6 November 1983 brought Turgut Ozal to power in a landslide victory when the liberalization began recording remarkable progress covering almost every possible field. Suppressed Muslims began to breathe fresh air of religious freedom.



In the popular wave, Turgut Ozal became Turkey’s eight president on 9 November 1989. However, four years later to the shock and dismay of people he died of heart attack ,though the common belief is that he was poisoned in view his growing popularity and the growth of democratic forces.



The situation has changed altogether today as the country is openly polarized- military and the bureaucracy on one side and the government and the people on the other. The rapidly changing political scenario is demonstrated clearly in the boldness of the media which began highlighting the true face of the military and the bureaucracy.



Even as recent as five years ago speaking a word asserting democratic rights, leave alone challenging the military rule, was inviting not trouble but disaster. That was the degree of repression. However, today Turks have become bold in expressing their views and exposing the hostile forces.



The latest being a conspiracy hatched by the military to plant bombs in the premises of Fethullah Gulen led Islamic movement ,accuse them of plotting to overthrow the military and crush the rising faith-based movement. Details of this military plot have been disclosed in the Turkish media on a daily basis showing the true face` of the armed forces.



Almost all, from professionals, intellectuals, religious scholars, students and even the average person now openly demand the need to confine the military back to the barrack and allow the people to rule themselves. They want the armed forces to be under the control of the elected government. They do not want the military to remain as the Sword of Damocles over the heads of democratic and Islamic forces.



The so-called Anglo American led Western champions of human rights and democracy never raised their voices against the suppression of democratic freedom in Turkey, because the military regime’s agenda suited the Western anti Islamic agenda that today turned the world into a killing field under the guise of fighting a so-called war on terrorism.
