American Bullying

Image
American Bullying Today, the world is not only in crisis; one of its most powerful actors still believes that it has the right to determine the fate of others. Washington has always spoken of a “world order,” but the question is: an order for whom? And what rules are being applied? As soon as the rules serve America’s interests, there is talk of law and order; as soon as those rules conflict with Washington’s interests, “American national interests” suddenly become important. This contradiction can no longer be hidden behind beautiful words. America calls itself a global power, but the world cannot be regarded as its private property. No flag is so sacred that the nation carrying it has the right to determine the fate of other nations. No army is so powerful that law can permanently replace violence. And no economy is so large that it can use sanctions, pressure, and threats as legitimate tools for achieving global domination. The problem is not limited to Trump. Trump’s erratic and ag...

Trump Caught Between Dreams and Fantasies

Image
Trump Caught Between Dreams and Fantasies Trump cannot undermine Canada’s credibility, dignity, and national identity through political statements. His views on Canada, regardless of any malicious political motives, do not change the fundamental reality of this country: Canada is a sovereign nation with national sovereignty, an elected political system, independent laws and economies, and a distinct historical identity. Therefore, Canada’s credibility does not depend on the judgment or approval of any other government. Similarly, Canada’s political legitimacy and international standing do not require the approval of Washington or Trump. Canada is built upon its own political, social, and historical foundations. Of course, Trump can ignore facts or alter them according to his political interests. However, Washington should not forget Canada’s historical role and support; history cannot easily be erased. Canada has stood alongside the United States for decades. This country has not only ...

When Everyone Wants Peace, Yet the War Continues

When Everyone Wants Peace, Yet the War Continues Everyone talks about peace. Everyone says they do not want war. And yet the missiles continue to be fired, the threats continue, and new conditions are imposed every day. To understand a war, sometimes we have to look at the actions of its leaders. Because I believe the answer lies in one fundamental difference: peace is something entirely different from surrender. That is why the war continues. Iran is a clear example. This war was not started by Iran. Iran did not want war. War was imposed on Iran, and Iran, like any country that has been attacked, has the right to defend itself. But clearly, something else was expected of Iran: that when attacked, it should not defend itself, should not resist, and should eventually sit at the negotiating table without argument and accept the other side’s conditions. That is an illusion, because Iran will never surrender. The United States has completely mistaken the government and people of Iran for ...

Erdoğan’s Political Maneuver Began Almost Simultaneously with the Elections

Erdoğan's Political Maneuver Began Almost Simultaneously with the Elections Erdoğan has stirred up controversy once again; Once again, he has put Israel at the center of attention. But this time, it is better to step away from the noise and take a look at what is happening behind the scenes. Erdogan understands politics well. He knows that in a region where the issue of Palestine and Israel is highly sensitive for millions of Muslims, standing behind a podium and attacking Israel can make a politician appear as a “defender of Muslims” and even a regional hero. This is the image Erdoğan has been trying to create for himself for years. But politics is not just about words; timing matters too. Whenever the political atmosphere begins to move towards elections, the same old issues suddenly resurface. Israel once again becomes a major subject in speeches, the rhetoric becomes harsher, and the political atmosphere takes on a different color. Is this a coincidence? Of course not! A politi...

Where Is the Enemy?

                                                   Where Is the Enemy?                  Some governments, when confronted with public questions, choose to create enemies rather than provide answers. It is an easy way to escape responsibility, because accountability means acknowledging mistakes, explaining performance, and enduring criticism. But when every problem can be blamed on an “enemy,” there is no need to discuss the roots of those problems. Costs, corruption, and incompetence become the result of conspiracies. Public dissatisfaction is turned into foreign provocation. Critics become foreign agents, and political rivals become threats to national security. The problem begins when this narrative moves from foreign policy into domestic politics, where the government portrays opponents as enemies rather th...

Why Don’t Muslims Migrate to Neighboring Countries?

Why Don’t Muslims Migrate to Neighboring Countries ? For years, discussions about the migration of Muslims to Europe, Canada, Australia, and other non-Muslim countries have focused mainly on the destination countries themselves. While various aspects, from discrimination and Islamophobia to immigration policy, cultural integration, and how migrants are treated, have been discussed—and this is certainly appropriate and deserves more attention! But one fundamental question is rarely asked: Why don’t Muslims go to Muslim countries before migrating to non-Muslim countries? For example, why should an Iraqi seeking security and a better future have to travel thousands of kilometers? Why can’t they go to a closer Muslim country such as the United Arab Emirates to live and work legally? Why shouldn’t an Afghan fleeing war, poverty, or instability have the opportunity to live legally and with dignity in Pakistan, Iran, or other Muslim countries? The same question applies to hundreds of thousand...
