And the Sultans were all Caliphs, I think.
I so pity the Turks this madness.
The down side is huge and evident, and Erdoğan is not the best leader of Turkish anti-Islam(ist) forces.
He is an enemy of the heritage of Mustafa Kemal.
Up side.
If Europe is smart they will be glad of a wave of anti-Islam(ist) refugees.
Good leavening for their immigrant Muslim populations.
A voice of "moderate Islam" in Egypt.
Like the Japanese Meiji and the Chinese Republicans, Mustafa Kemal was a Westernizer in the tradition of Peter the Great and a secularist who saw Islam and Islamic clericalism as enemies of modernity.
The Baath movement was a similar variant of the larger movement of Arab nationalism.
The Russian Revolution, precipitated by the idiocy of the Allies of The Great War and the Russian, Kerensky, threw communism onto the world stage and poisoned subsequent decolonization and Western anti-colonialism with the anti-capitalism, anti-Westernism, and racial hatred of whites upon which first the reds and then the New Left based their propaganda.
Discrediting the West and all things white created an ideological vacuum into which traditional religious madness was free to move.
Thank the Reds and the New Left for Jihad.
