The thrust for the reintroduction of the Caliphate is shifted from Syria to Turkey, with Recep Tayyip Erdogan posing as the next First Caliph. Turkey has been turned from a secular state to a theocratic state, reverting to the days of the Ottoman Empire, and with tacit support from Iran. This leaves another great faction, the Saudis, as the one primary restraining factor (the Sunni) in the Middle East in the coming inter-Islamic battles.
Turkey is in a peculiar position, in that probably some 70% of the Muslims there profess to be Sunni, and about 20% are Alevite, rather like the Alawite of Jordan, but they speak Turkish rather than Arabic. The remaining 10% or so are a form of Sufi, the least dogmatic form of Islam. And also the ones most persecuted by the more militant Muslims. The gentle Sufi, those of the mosque recently attacked in the Sinai Peninsula, are the most peaceful of Muslims, and the one primary voice of reason within Islam, so naturally, they are the main target of the more militant Muslims. This will be the objective of what is left of ISIS, to bring what they considered to be “apostates” into line, or eliminate them altogether.
Interesting commentary thanks for sharing,
I’ll never forget those pics of Erdogan and Obama together behaving like they had some man boy love association going on, creepy to say the least,
Erdogan is an anti-Christ wannabe and what the Saudis are up too lately I still haven’t figured out,
