GLOBAL ATTACKS ON THE ISLAMIC WORLD
The Islamic world, in its geography where it should be sovereign, has been turned to the area of the undeclared, secret, insidious, dirty and asymmetric Third World War. Where the elements of ethnic and sectarian differences within the unitary structures of each Islamic country are made fought with one another.
Armed terrorist organizations: al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Anti Balaka in Middle Africa, Revolutionary People's Liberation Front (DHKP-C) and Communist /Marxist /Leninist Party of Turkey, PKK, PYD, FETÖ/PDY in Turkey, Al-Nusra Front, DAESH and HTS in Syria, which have drowned Turkey and Islamic geography in blood, tears and turned to debris, operate under the control and support of global powers.
Despite of the advantages they have, Islamic countries have fallen into enormous chaos and disorders through the interference of the imperialist Western states. As a result of this turmoil, the Islamic geography is suffering from a case of destruction and famine. Millions of Muslims are forced to choose between leaving their homes and homelands or left to die. Thousands of Muslims die in different ways on the way of migration, while those who succeed in migration are forced to live in poverty and misery.
Birleşmiş milletler mülteciler yüksek komiserliğinin 2016 verilerine göre sadece 5 milyon Suriye vatandaşı göç etmiştir. Kayıt altına alınamayan mültecilerle bu rakam daha da yükselmektedir Suriyeli mülteciler, Türkiye (2.749.140), Irak (249.726), Ürdün (629.128), Mısır (132.275), Lübnan (1.172.753) ve Kuzey Afrika’da diğer yerlere göç etmiştir. Bu rakamların dışında yoğun bir şekilde Avrupa’ya göç girişimleri olmakta ve büyük bir kısmı Ak Denizde yaşamlarını yitirmektedir. Bu olumsuzluklara rağmen Avrupa’ya yapılan sığınmacı başvuru sayısı 270.000’den fazla olmuştur.
According to the data provided from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2016, only 5 million Syrian citizens have emigrated.[x] This figure is even higher with unregistered refugees. Syrian refugees have migrated to Turkey (2.749.140), Iraq (249.726), Jordan (629.128), Egypt (132.275), Lebanon (1.172.753) and other places in North Africa . Regardless of these figures, there are intensive attempts to migrate to Europe and most of them lost their lives at the Mediterranean Sea. Despite these negativities, the total number of the registered refugees who were transferred to Europe was more than 270.000 refugees.
The Third World War continues as an undeclared war (Hybrid Warfare) against the Islamic countries. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Muslims who were left without authority, tried to maintain their existence by establishing small states but they lost their unity and togetherness, so they became easy prey for the global powers. The United States, the European Union, France, Russia and China aim to establish their authority in Islamic countries in order to take over the Islamic geography by conducting proxy wars with the terrorist organizations they control and the asymmetric methods of war they practice.
