First to Turkish Justice, Then to Divine Justice

28 February Postmodern Coup
In the early 90s, the CIA-NATO gang convinced the Laicistic-Secular segment in Turkey that it was time to “ban all symbols that evoke Islam and stop Muslims from taking part in public offices” in the public opinion, as part of the Moderate Islam Project.[i]
Thus, they would hit two birds with one stone;
- The patriotic Muslim people would be isolated from the state administration in both politics and bureaucracy. Banning the Welfare Party… With the accusation of reactionarism and dismissal from civil service without trial, very serious injustices were committed until the early 2000s.
- FETO, which has been prepared by the CIA since the 70s, would be provided with the opportunity to settle in cadres in all fields (especially the Muslim section expelled from the public sphere), especially in the Armed Forces, Police Force, National Intelligence Organization, Judiciary and National Education. Collaborating with the Laicistic-Secular segment, FETO skillfully placed its own members in the vacancies of those dismissed under the label of reactionarism.
While the postmodern coup, briefly known as 28 February, caused serious traumas to the religious people, it did not take long for the Laicistic-Secular people to wake up from the euphoria of victory. They started to be evicted from the Turkish Armed Forces by FETO with trials such as Sledgehammer and Ergenekon. In other words, the snake they had grown started to bite them too.
The Laicistic-Secular community, which has always been hostile to religion and religious people, has never been able to realize that the religious people, who constitute the majority of the citizens of the Republic of Turkey, do not have enmity towards them.
Turkey held its President and Parliamentary elections on Sunday, June 24, 2018. I wish the election results auspicious.
The result of the election had appeared in the polls weeks earlier. Our noble nation gave a very important message in the June 24 elections.
When asked about the reasons for preference in the pre-election polls, our people mention many revolutionary investments; tremendous innovations in the healthcare system, investments in the education system, technological progress and the free availability of books in primary and secondary education, with investments made in transportation Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Eurasia Tunnel, Osman Gazi Bridge, New Istanbul Airport, Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, highways, dual carriageways and high-speed trains.
Although this is the view from the inside, there is something completely different when looking at Turkey from the outside;

The Inconsistency of Theories on Nation and the Real Content of the Concept of Turk
Written by Hüseyin DAYIWithin this study, understandings of nation in Islamic civilization and “modern-secular” Western civilization are compared both with each other and on socio-political structures. These comparisons should be useful to know what is appropriate for Turkey.
Under the influence of the French Revolution, the “nation” became a new socio-political force in Europe. In the studies carried out to define the nation, the ideas of philosophers were used, not sociological observations. There was no consensus on any of the very different definitions produced on unrelated grounds such as race, native language and citizenship. Meanwhile, instead of accepting historical integrations, each state tried to build its own nation by choosing one of the definitions made. Thus, although they were known as “nation-states”, none of the states belonged to a clearly definable nation, and it was not possible for a state to artificially build its own nation. In the meantime, many states were fell apart, while the newly established ones faced the same danger.
On the other hand, the concept of nation in Islamic civilization has existed since the beginning and its meaning is clear. As a term found in the Qur'an, 'nation' refers to a religion and its believers. In the early periods, the common language of the “Nation of Islam” was only Arabic. In the course of time, Persian and Turkish also became common languages in different regions. Thus, the term “Turk” became the name of Muslims of different ethnic origins and different native languages who used Turkish as a common language.
Later, with the modern-secular definitions of the West, the definitions of “Turkish nation” became unclear and controversial in Turkey, and the integrity of the Turkish nation was in danger of being disintegrated.
