Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet), which controls 90,000 mosques globally and employs 140,000 people, mandated that women must cover their entire body except for the face, hands, and feet, asserting that veiling is an Islamic command, not a personal choice.
The mask has come off, and the facade of the Left-Islamic alliance has been removed. The insistence that Islamic dress for women is a matter of modesty and personal choice has been debunked by a top Islamic authority. But will the Western, Islam-enabling left-wing media report this truth or continue to assist Islam in its quest for dominance in the West?
The latest breaking news from Turkey reveals a troubling reality: the Turkish government’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet), which controls approximately 90,000 mosques globally and employs around 140,000 people, including imams and other religious workers, declared in a Friday sermon that “Hijab is not a personal choice.” This state institution’s proclamation exposes the oppressive nature of the hijab within Islamic doctrine and practice, directly contradicting the narrative often propagated by Muslim and left-wing apologists in the West, who insist that the hijab represents modesty, personal freedom, and choice.
In this sermon, which is read in all mosques across Turkey and published on the Diyanet’s website, it was explicitly stated, “For women, the areas that must be covered when in the presence of strange men and when going out of their homes are the entire body except the face, hands, and feet. For men, it is between the navel and the knees.” Furthermore, it asserted, “It should not be forgotten that veiling is, first and foremost, a commandment of Allah and not a personal choice.”
This directive from the Diyanet, a state institution with a budget exceeding that of many ministries, is not merely a local issue. The Diyanet’s influence extends globally, reaching all mosques under its control in Western nations, including Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, and the United States. This message, now being propagated through thousands of mosques, highlights the broader Islamic agenda to enforce Sharia norms and suppress individual freedoms.
According to prominent former Islamic jurist Sam Solomon, one of the methods of achieving global Islamic dominance is a strategy called “Hijra.” This strategy involves two main components: moving Muslims to non-Muslim lands to make them Islamic and increasing the degree of Islamic adherence in whatever place they happen to be.
Often, the degree of Islamic adherence is dictated by a central religious authority such as Diyanet or Muslim Brotherhood-run Islamic centers and sent out to regional mosques for implementation. This is why, in many Western cities, we wouldn’t see any hijabs or niqabs one week, and the next week, they would be everywhere.
Following is the scriptural basis for forcing women’s dress codes: The Quranic Mandates on Veiling
The Quran commands women to cover themselves to prevent temptation, framing non-compliance as justifying abuse. This is not a cultural custom but a religious edict:
Quran 24:31: “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed.” Quran 33:59: “O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better so that they may be recognized and not molested.”
Diyanet’s Influence and Global Reach
The Turkish Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) operates as an extension of the Turkish government, which is also the current home of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikwan). They wield major influence over Turkish and other Muslim communities in Western nations. Its reach extends far beyond Turkey’s borders, infiltrating several Western nations, including Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, and the United States. This message from the Diyanet was not confined to a single sermon; it is disseminated to thousands of mosques under its control, ensuring that imams across these nations push this oppressive narrative. Germany: A Case Study
In Germany, the Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) controls over 900 mosques, which Turkish President Erdoğan alludes to as military outposts for his loyal soldiers.
DITIB is directly linked to the Turkish Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet), transforming it from a religious organization into a political tool for the Turkish state. The Diyanet, a state institution that oversees religious affairs in Turkey and abroad, extends its influence through DITIB. DITIB imams discourage assimilation into European culture, promote Erdoğan’s political agenda, and report dissidents to Turkey’s Embassy. Erdoğan has openly demanded that Turkish immigrants in Europe not assimilate, labeling such assimilation a “crime against humanity.” Exposés have revealed these mosques preaching hateful Islamic messages against the West, Jews, and Christians, along with strong anti-assimilation sentiments. Other Western Nations
Similar patterns are observed in the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, and the United States. Diyanet operates through local mosque networks, spreading conservative Islamic teachings and discouraging integration into Western societies. In the Netherlands, Diyanet’s network of mosques and religious leaders promote conservative Islamic teachings, discouraging integration into Dutch society. In Austria and Belgium, Diyanet’s reach infiltrates Muslim communities, spreading radical ideologies and discouraging integration into Western societies. In the United States, Diyanet operates through mosques and religious centers, subtly spreading its conservative messages and forbidding integration. The Reality of Hijab in the West
Despite the Western media’s portrayal, the hijab is not a symbol of personal freedom. It is a tool of oppression used to enforce Sharia law and control women. In Islamic communities in the West, women who refuse to wear the hijab or adopt Western lifestyles face severe consequences, including ostracism, violence, and even honor killings. Numerous instances of Islamic girls being murdered by their families for refusing to wear the hijab or becoming too “Westernized” highlight the grim reality of this so-called “choice.” Direct Threat to Western Values and Freedoms
The narrative that the hijab is a personal choice is a fallacy that only serves to empower those who seek to undermine Western values and freedoms. The influence of organizations like Diyanet and their local arms, such as DITIB, represents a significant threat to the advancement of Western values. By promoting the hijab as a religious obligation and discouraging integration, these organizations seek to establish Sharia norms in Western societies. It is essential to recognize and resist this insidious agenda to protect our societies and uphold the principles of liberty and equality.
We must not allow the dangerous narrative of the hijab as a personal choice to gain any further foothold in our societies. The Western acceptance of this lie only emboldens those who wish to impose Sharia on us. It is time to stand firm against this threat and protect the freedoms and values that define our way of life.
No Sharia Law.
Then voluntary Sharia Law.
Then mandatory Sharia Law.
Coming to a western country near you.
But no worries. George W. Bush said “Islam is peace.”
😠
(I’m guessing the W in his name stands for Worthless.)
That’s the Islamic crap Ataturk destroyed decades ago, setting Turkey on a path to the modern world from the 7th century.
Someone didn’t get the memo on the country name: Türkiye is the country name now.
Turkey needs another Ataturk, stat. Then again, I don’t think a man like that comes along very often.

.....That’s the Islamic crap Ataturk destroyed decades ago, setting Turkey on a path to the modern world from the 7th century.......
You’re right!
Alahwahoo Waxbar!
My son in law - a Turk, now an American citizen and raised Catholic - says this is BEE SSSS.
It’s the “Sick Man of Europe” once again.
I will say though, there are a lot of gorgeous Turkish women. Good luck getting them to cover up.
These lovely Turkish women may move here!
If they do, I hope that they convert to Christianity!
BTW, I love leftovers.
Mustafa Kemal weeps in Agnostic Limbo.
He didn’t destroy it sufficiently.
Spent too much time with his pets. Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul.
When will The Sick Man of Europe change its name back to the Ottoman Empire, and claim all the countries that came out of it at the end of WWI as their own?
its called slavery....
iows...we males can’t control ourselves so we can’t have women around us....we’re just animals apparently..
I recently saw TV ads promoting tourism to Turkey. Will visiting women have to comply with the edict?
WOW! Who has that contract? Chaching!
All because some dude saw Mohammed’s wife pissing
