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;
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.
The defendants of the Sledgehammer case were released from prison pending a trial. They tried to give the impression that they were acquitted with the shows they performed in front of the prison together with the crowd of media, and they used to insult the moral values of the nation as an element of courage.
They also implied that they are not done with those who sent them to prison and that they will definitely come to terms with it. They did not forget to strike a pose with a whole crowd of cute lawyers around. Those who saw them would think that they were heroes.
