And you just confirmed that you are a puppet of the West. Do you even know what Islamist and radical islamist means before you call every Muslim in the world that. Or did you pick those terms up when you heard some of Bushs speeches or other Anti-Islamist. Have you ever considered that when you offend a jew, you have to excuse and you will be marked man for the rest of your life as being an Anti-Semit. But if you speak for the rights of Muslims or even speak of Islam, you are a so-called radical

Yes I am a devoted Muslim, Yes I want a better future for our people. But the most important thing is that it has to be a future we can call our own, a future we can make for ourselves and not having to be converted to being a total westerner. I believe we can progress, but we must not forget who we are, and where we come from. We are Muslims and we have a culture, at least we had those things before Ataturk.

I admire and appreciate those Sultans who expanded the Ottoman Empire, not for glory or wealth, but to expand Islam or to protect Muslim interest. They were not people sold an inch of their culture of faith. They did not compromise for any cost.
And let me ask you this. Do you really think that if we were invaded and divided that it would have been much different then the decadence we live in today. On the contrary I think that we would have benefitted from it, as people hold on to their culture and faith more tightly, when they know it is under threat.
But what happened was then even though we won the war, we lost the most precious things we had. That is what we were. What are we today? If not for mere puppets of the West?
Do you really thing that the problems the Ottomans had, was gone, when the republic was founded?
Ataturk alone did not liberate the nation, everybody did, but it was the feeling of Islam that helped win the war because it was a Jihad, there are entire areas in turkey where the people liberated themselves without the help of the army. Do you really thing that people would have fought if they knew what Ataturk would have done?
And besides new evidence in form of various documents shows, that it was the Sultan who had appointed Ataturk as head of the army to complete the liberation of the nation. But Ataturk in return sended him on exile as a thanks after the liberation.
