This story begins in the very old days, 3,500 years ago, when Moses brought his people out of Egypt to Jerusalem. The only guide he had was the Ten Commandments. This is what was placed inside a wooden Ark which was later brought into the Temple of Solomon. This is not myth but fact. And we have to look for the mastermind in Jerusalem where the sons of Israel live... Islamist pro-AKP political history professor Ramazan Kurtoglu says in the film that as they destroy the entire world, the Jews are searching for this Ark of Covenant that they lost. He ties the Iraq War to Jewish aspirations to find the Ark... The film's narration says that the Jewish faith is a political philosophy rather than a religion, and mentions three figures that "the Jews look up to and follow" -- naming "Rabbi Ben-Maimon (Maimonides), considered the greatest of all Bible commentators, who lived in the Middle Ages" who he says believed that "the Jews are the Masters, and all other people are to be their slaves." The second, Charles Darwin, is "a Jew [sic], a biologist [and] a scientist who is the architect of the theory of evolution. The third is a German Jew, Leo Strauss, the father of American neo-conservatism." ...Also appearing in the film is another pro-AKP academic, Ebubekir Sofuoglu, who says that the Jews believe that they, the descendants of Isaac, consider themselves the masters, and that "all of us," the descendants of Ishmael, are created to serve the Jews. Sofuoglu also claims that the Jews used the Jew Darwin's theory to assert their religious belief that God created the Jews while everyone else evolved from apes... Islamist journalists and writers... blame [the Jews and the U.S.] for both the destruction of the Ottoman Empire and for the coups in modern Turkey aimed at ousting Islamist leaders and parties.

This is the Digest ping as well, a day early.
