This is an increasingly common attitude in Turkey. Meanwhile, the Western political and media establishment has worked for years to stigmatize, demonize, and marginalize any opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others.
“Western civilization must also be saved from the Western threat!,” by Yusuf Kaplan, Yeni Safak, April 13, 2021:
The resurrection of anti-Islam and anti-Turkey sentiment in European countries is certainly interesting. Note: It is not “rising” but being resurrected!
The West feels the need to concoct a fake enemy to deal with the large-scale crises that will break out post-coronavirus!
They have been leeching on others since the beginning!
A fake “evil,” a terrifying “other” will be invented, strengthening the hand within and thus ending tensions!
A barbarity called civilization!
The French president openly, barbarically attacked Islam’s prophet of mercy with open support from former French President Nicolas Sarkozy! Their goal is to deter Algerian Muslims living in France, to ensure they leave the country if possible, and by insulting Islam, inventing a savage “other” through Islam and Algerians, to strengthen the French public and identity.
Of course, France needs this in the global coronavirus crisis atmosphere. The post-coronavirus phase is going to hit Europe as well as France, like everywhere else!
Therefore, the French are taking measures!
They are using a despicable method to achieve this!
They call it civilization!
Yet, it is the worst form of barbarity!
As if anti-Islam sentiment was not enough, they resurrected anti-Turkey sentiment in France and in certain other European countries.
The number of publications and officials making statements depicting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a “dictator” is booming.
In addition to The Netherlands and Germany, most recently the Italian prime minister also called President Erdoğan a “dictator”!
Unbelievable!
You can see how the West becomes barbaric whenever it gets stuck!
The West’s two fears: Islamophobia, Turkophobia
Two phobias were developed in the West. They are building their entire strategy based on these two fears.
The first is Islamophobia, which has now turned into clear hostility.
The second is Turkophobia, which has been openly and officially incensed in all European countries in the last few years, to the extent that it will suppress the first….
Islam is the only one resisting the attack of Western civilization. Islam’s resistance is represented by Turkey’s Erdogan who said “one minute!” to the architects, the lords of the global threat produced by Western civilization in front of the whole world, who says, “The world is bigger than five.”
Hence, Western barbarians are developing all their strategies to bring Islam in general to its knees, and Turkey in particular!…
Mateen Elass says
Talk about self-absorption. The only time most Americans think about Turkey is when Thanksgiving approaches….
Infidel says
While both Turkeys go gobble gobble, only one of them is thinking about gobbling up a good portion of the world
gravenimage says
So true, Mateen.
mortimer says
Agree with Mateen Elass. Most Western people dismiss Turkey as a dysfunctional, backward country that cannot be modernized, since it has a foot in Islam which is incurably backward and anchored philosophically in the Bronze Age.
Jill says
First of all, Islam is always on their knees begging the west for everything and praying to their moon god! Perhaps Islam needs to stay in Islamoland and leave the west! Islam has Freedomphobia so stay out of the west!
mortimer says
Good point from Jill. Many Arab intellectuals have noted what Jill refers to: namely, the inability of the Muslim world to do anything creative whatsoever! They think they are Allah’s chosen, but they are as backward as can be! And they REFUSE to be introspective! Just like the two writers here: Yusuf Kaplan and Yeni Safak … pompous, dishonest fools and lick-spittles of the dictatorial regime.
Muslim writers like them spend their time blaming the West for the backwardness that is part and parcel of ISLAM, rather than look inwards to the reasons that Islam ALWAYS creates failure, misery, bribery, corruption and disincentives for creative people. Any Muslim who wants to create something must leave Islamic countries and move to the West where he/she will be appreciated for talent and originality.
Useful regime-aparatchiks like Yusuf Kaplan and Yeni Safak polish the turds of the Turkish dictatorship.
Rather than blame Islam, they search for ridiculous and absurd theories to explain why Muslim countries are ALL dysfunctional.
SAFI says
Yeni Safak is the name of the newspaper though… Yusuf Kaplan is the sole author of this drivel
Ecosse1314 says
Obviously drunk. And in Ramadamalingdong as well…tut tut
mortimer says
Anyone who says that Erdogan is NOT a ‘dictator’ is obviously drunk on something.
Of course, ALL the media in Turkey are afraid to criticize their dictator, because Turkey has the highest number of incarcerated journalists in the world.
To a journalist in Turkey is be a BOOT-LICKER of the dictator.
mortimer says
correction: to BE a journalist in Turkey …
Ade Fegan says
‘Islam is the only one resisting the attack of civilization’
mortimer says
Actually, Islam is resisting modernity.
Muslims know that, and, as a result, live in profound cognitive dissonance.
Niemoller says
Yusef Kaplan sounds like just another irrational freak of the modern age, mentally trapped in a matrix of competing ideologies, religions and cultures: A schizo Muslim Jewish name, a hyper-paranoid Turkish nationalist, an bellicose Islamist, and an Occidentaphobe who got his education in England. What an idiot!
Brando says
In reality,I am sure Muslims have an INFERIORITY COMPLEX regarding western civilization.
They know it is really negative,it is so easy making a COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ( the Method for Learning How to Think,used by the Redpill/Blackpill)
EVEN WITH CHINA
Of all the other world cultures, After Western civilization the Most Impressive is Chinese civilization:
1.It has been Mostly Influenced by BUDDHISM, regarding religion: the Buddha’s DOCTRINE of COMPASSION.
2.Philosophically,by CONFUCIUS: with his Golden Rule (in the ANALECTS:collection of his sayings) , and other ethical ideas.
YET
However the influence of Jesus of Nazareth’s ETHICAL rule ( making the Golden Rule=love your neighbor like yourself=
the LAW = LAW of GOD )
on Europe has been such that ( EXCEPT when it has gone,giving rise to NAZISM and COMMUNISM )
it has Prevented the Following ( which happened in China DESPITE Confucius and Buddha):
(The info is from the website ANCIENT ORIGINS, a serious site full of historical info):
1.Chinese emperors had HAREMS of 20,000 Women ( during the HAN DYNASTY: 206 BC to 220 AD )
2.In 600 AD CONFUCIANISM became the Official Philosophy of the Imperial Government,till 1910.
3.Yet for example,during the MING dynasty (1368-1644): the emperor had a HAREM of 20,000 sex slaves,
and 100,000 EUNUCHS.
Despite the bad things of Europe,due to Jesus of Nazareth ,you Never Saw such a situation.
Brando says
There is also a famous parable where Jesus of Nazareth gives more details about what he meant by acting ethically,inspiring imitation ( in the West):
PARABLE OF GOATS AND SHEEP ( bad and good ) (Matt 25:31-46)
1.There is debate about the meaning of ” the LEAST of these MY BRETHREN ”
2.Since Jesus was talking to a Group of JEWS, some say “My Brethren” means ” My Fellow Jews”.
Others say it means “My Fellow Christian Followers”, or even BOTH.
MESSAGE DIRECTED TO ALL NATIONALITIES
It begins as:
“When the Son of Man (Jesus ) comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
ALL the NATIONS
will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats ( good from bad ).”
ENUMERATION OF GOOD DEEDS ( 6 in all )
” Then the King will say to those on His right hand( the SHEEP),
‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
for I was HUNGRY and you gave ME ( my note: Me, Jesus ) food;
I was THIRSTY and you gave ME drink;
I was a STRANGER and you took ME in;
I was NAKED and you clothed ME;
I was SICK and you visited ME;
I was in PRISON and you came to ME.’”
THE GOOD DON’T UNDERSTAND
“Then the RIGHTEOUS will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see
YOU ( You,Jesus) hungry and feed YOU,
or thirsty and give YOU drink?
When did we see YOU a stranger and take YOU in, or naked and clothe YOU?
Or when did we see YOU sick, or in prison, and come to YOU?’
And the KING will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the LEAST of these MY BRETHREN,
you did it to ME.’ “

Yusef Kaplan is–unsurprisingly–also a crazed antisemite:
“Turkish pro-Erdoğan columnist: The world has a Jewish problem”
https://stockholmcf.org/turkish-pro-erdogan-columnist-the-world-has-a-jewish-problem/
He has claimed that Jews “control America” and the rest of the world.
And this creep actually got his post-graduate degrees in England–and is now using it against them and the rest of the civilized world.
A couple of years ago he also claimed that the US was going to attack Turkey.
Naildriver says
Let’s hope the danger to Islam and Muslims is a reality, even if this clown is a paranoid, resentful fear monger.
In fact, perhaps that’s just what the USA should do.
Attack yet another Muslim country. This time to restore Turkey’s suppression of Islam, and instead of enabling Islam as idiotically done in the first two misguided disasters, absolutely deny Islam anything.
Demand a secular state were Islam is openly targeted as a enemy to Mankind and Western civilizations answer to China — and cleanse the Hagia Sophia if all the Islamic graffiti! Return it to the Orthodox Christians.
May be a joint Russian and American invasion where Russia is allowed a navel base in a newly renamed’Constantinople’.
gravenimage says
Naildriveer, Turkey is 99.8% Muslim–most of the non-Muslims have been murdered or driven out long since.
I doubt that the “filthy Infidels” invading and trying to turn Turkey into a civilized nation would work.
Better to isolate Islam–the civilized world was *much* safer when we did this.
Naildriver says
I suspect your figures are correct, GI.
It is not likely one could ask a minority or extant suppressed population to take over — since they have long since been murdered off. However the USA did design a working government in the Green Zone of Iraq which something similar would be just fine — but this time don’t let the Muslim hordes get the country back, as Rice cheerfully reported upon that moment in Iraq — where under ‘democracy’ and a huge vote from the majority, the Iraqi population chose to put Islam as the first law and be the most authoritative law in their constitution — and Rice thought it just fine!
The problem with your idea is the world and demographics have moved way past the possibility of your suggestion working.
Far too many Muslims are already in Europe and the USA to ‘contain’ Islam as the British so brilliantly did.
The occupation of Turkey would also be a good way the European Union could divest itself of the Muslim hordes that have infested it, and Turkey as a place to send them. The more I consider it the better such an invasion would be, to at least return to a point where containment has a chance.
Crusades Were Right says
Project much, Mr. Kaplan? lol
James Lincoln says
Yusuf Kaplan is totally unhinged.
Perhaps he is hypoglycemic due to his ramadan fast.
Or maybe he is just being a pious muslim…
andy says
reject islam world wide
nicholas tesdorf says
Islam certainly does have a 1,400-year old history of resisting any sort of civilization.
gravenimage says
Turkish columnist: ‘Islam is the only one resisting the attack of Western civilization’
………………..
Muslims are certainly resisting civilization, all right…
From the article:
They have been leeching on others since the beginning!
………………..
Hilarious–it is Islam that has been leeching off the civilized world.
Then, the idea that criticizing the vicious “Prophet”–a warlord, pedophile, slaver, rapist, and mass murderer–is “barbarism” could not be more grotesque.
And how is recovery from the Coronavirus a “crisis”? Of course, Kaplan does not say.
And by “anti Turkey” he means that anyone in the west dares to condemn the Armenian Genocide as the US has done.
As for Erdogan, he has had full power in Turkey for the past 18 years, all while targeting his rivals–sounds like a dictator to me.
BlackSabbath says
This is the sign that Afghan opium is finally reaching Turkey through “pakistani” drug paddlers posing as “refugees.”
oskar says
State of Armenia is in danger. Rising Turkofascism endangers the future of the humanity. ARAB states are in danger too. Those ARAB governments like the UAE and Egypt who are aware of the consequences of the new criminal ottoman state are defending themselves from a new Turkofascist aggression…
End PC says
Doesn’t take a whole lot of research to see clearly that Islam is the enemy of modern Western Civilization.
Always has been historically, always will be. Why can’t all educated people in all institutions see this and say so? How obvious does it have to be?
gregbeetham says
Not only does Islam cause cultural and scientific stagnation it also produces retards incapable of processing evidence.
All this idiot had to do was look at how many journalists were in prison and whether or not the media is now a state run mouthpiece, which of course it is, which makes Erdogan a dictator just like everyone in the West says he is.
Andrew Blackadder says
The current Leader of Turkey is the opposite of original the Founder of Modern Turkey.
Tell me again why the US Air Force has a Base in Turkey, tell me again why Turkey is in NATO, as they are no where near the North Atlantic, tell me again why Turkey should be allowed into the European Union when they are not even in Europe.
Tell me again why the US Military is protecting, and defending, a people, and their International Borders, around the World, like Japan, Korea, Turkey,Saudi,Kuwait, Europe, and yet some morons think its racist, or even fascist, to defend the Southern International Border of the USA.
Am I missing something here?.

One good thing is that it looks as though Turkey’s bids to join the EU have pretty much imploded:

Giacomo Latta says
Kaplan needs to choose another, um, crusade to lead. He is not exactly dressed for success in his current one.
citoyenk says
It all stems from having an accidentally unfortunate name for a country.
Turkey! Turkey? Why is everyone laughing at us!!
So they tear the hair from their heads and spit the dummy, cursing their fate at being
born medieval in a modern world.
Notice that the haven’t dared to call their national airline Turkey Airlines
And oh, is that another Renault factory they are opening up?

Islam=Submission for the afornutate people living in the Western Culture-Civilisation means that: Submit, pay the jizya or be assesinated.
