Erdogan is positioning himself to restore the caliphate, and that seems to be fine with this Algerian analyst. Al-Rafi’s remarks are also further confirmation that the Azerbaijanis and their allies view their conflict with Armenia as an Islamic jihad.
“Armenia hostile to entire Islamic world, says Algerian analyst,” Trend News Agency, October 29, 2020:
Armenia is hostile to the entire Islamic world, well-known Algerian analyst and researcher Abdullah Al-Rafi told Trend….
“We see the manifestation of Armenia’s hostile attitude towards Islam and the entire Islamic world in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan. In almost all the occupied lands, evidence of the heritage of Islamic culture – mosques, mausoleums, and ancient cultural monuments – have been savagely destroyed,” said Al-Rafi.
He noted that Armenia, supporting the Islamophobic statements of France’s President Emmanuel Macron, once again proved its hostility towards Islam.
“Armenia acts on the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the friend of my friend is my friend”. Yerevan understands perfectly well that even if not all Muslim countries express support for Azerbaijan, Muslims, in general, are on the side of Azerbaijan,” he said….
“Currently, the Turkish president acts as the protector of all Muslims, which, of course, greatly irritates the Armenian authorities, which are hostile to the Turks and Muslims. Turkey’s political support for Azerbaijan is quite understandable since it is one nation,” Al-Rafi said.

How much of a bribe did the Algerian politician receive from Turkey in order to praise Erdogan?
Arabs almost never speak well of the Turks.
mortimer says
correction: researcher Abdullah Al-Rafi is an ‘analyst’, not a ‘politician’.

Turks occupied Arab lands for 500 years. They oppressed them and imposed an anti-education poilicy to keep them backward thus ending the Golden Age of Arabs. After 500 years, the Arabs–with great number of casualties and with the help of the British and the French–drove out the Turks from Arab lands. So I don’t see any knowledgeable Arab support Turkey/Erdogan when the Turkish plan is to revive their evil and corrupt empire and once again occupy Arab lands.

I think in this case Muslims are just “defenders of Islam” against the Infidels. Muslims usually hate Kuffar even more than they hate each other.
Lavéritétriomphera says
He speaks for himself, not for others.
gravenimage says
Most Muslims join with other Muslims against Infidels, This is quite common.
jirtu says
Al-Rafi of Algeria is talking nonsense. Armenia is defending its lands against Azeri/Turkish expansionism. Three million Armenians have stopped the 10-million Azeris plus the 83 million Turks plus ISIS mercenaries plus Pakistani troops and Afghan mujahideen from advancing, They launched a blitzkrieg the first day of the way stating they would win in five days..We are now into the fifth week of the war. To cover up his ambition to conquer Armenia and get Muslim support, Ilham Aliev of,Azerbaijan is dressing his invasion as a fight between Islam and Christianity. Al-Rafi, in distant Algeria, has heard the call to distort the conflict and ignorantly echoing the host. Armenians don’t care whether the Azeris worship Mohammed, Zoroaster, or a barrel of oil.
mortimer says
Al-Rafi is soliciting the murder of Armenians by the use of hyperbole, mischaracterization and melodrama.
His ‘analysis’ is emotional, subjective, vindictive, biased and irresponsible. He should be fired.
Boycott Turkey says
3 million Armenians vs 10 million Azeris 83 million Turks plus terrorist from Syria and Pakistan it’s like David vs Goliath I pray for Artkash victory I am trying to follow the war but it’s hard as it’s not being reported in the mainstream media but I read on Armen press the Azeris are committing war crimes burning a forest and using white phosphorus and the world is silent
Crusades Were Right says
I guess the “world” is still figuring out a way to blame it on Trump, or “white supremacists”. Can’t say a bad word against the adherents of the Religion of Peace, dontcha know.
Boycott Turkey says
In this situation the Armenians are being blamed for trying to hold on to there ancient homeland but what’s new Muslims and anti Christians always blame the victims just like Mohammed blamed his rape victims
SJ says
Do these terrorists want another genocide?
mortimer says
Obviously, they want to complete the genocide of Armenians.
BTW, Armenians have no reason to admire anything about Islam. They have millions of reasons to suspect every Muslim they meet, especially Turks and Kurds who did most of the dirty deeds against Armenians.
Turkey should admit the genocides and make reparations if they want respect from the world community.
jirtu says
Agreed.
gravenimage says
Yes.
Peter Buckley says
Great article on how muslims themselves, and Arabs in particular, are turning on Erdogan:
“The beheading of the French history teacher proves that political Islam has become a real threat to world peace in light of its expansionist tendency, which is currently embodied by Erdogan’s project, which not only targets the societies of Muslim countries, but also other societies that incubate important Islamic communities.” — Al-Habib Al-Aswad, Tunisian journalist, Al-Arab, October 28, 2020.
He wants to represent himself as a defender of Islam. Which Islam does he speak for? Erdogan has committed crimes in Libya, Syria and all Arab countries. He is the one who is offending Islam.” — Mustafa Bakri, Egyptian media personality, Al-Dostor Studio, October 30, 2020.

Who wouldn’t be “hostile” to those intent on murdering, slaughtering, committing genocide against the one who does not embrace islam?
I’m feeling quite “hostile” myself. er snake wan can go soak his head in the ocean until he croaks. islam is evil; therefore, anyone devoted to islam practices evil and commits grave sins against mankind’s Creator and Lawgiver.
Boycott Turkey says
This joker wants a other Armenian Genocide like all Muslims do Armenians are just protecting there land they have lived for millennia in Artash
Muslims will always steal land and lie it’s there’s because in there eyes it’s not stealing because they believe allah gave them the world so reality is all kaffir are illegal occupiers on Muslims land doesn’t matter where you live we are all illegal occupiers even the native Indians and eskimos would be Illegal occupiers on Muslim lands
As for Erdogan being the protector of Muslims is laughable the Kurds who are Muslims are being genocided the uighars being deported back to China for money in return I am fed up with Islam and there lies and hypocrisy
Crusades Were Right says
Little Armenia is a lamb surrounded by a pack of snarling wolves, while the herd of sheep nearby ignore its plight and concern themselves with the problem of ridding themselves of lupophobia.

Algerian analyst hits ‘Armenia’s hostile attitude towards Islam,’ says Erdogan ‘acts as protector of all Muslims’
……………..
This is what “protecting Muslims” looks like:
“Syrian jihadi fighting for Azerbaijan says he was promised $100 for each beheaded non-Muslim”

In other words, he is endorsing genocide.
Savvy Kafir says
My attitude towards Islam grows more hostile every day, as more evidence pours in each day proving just how savage, disgusting, and dangerous that ideology is.
