What is the radical change in sociology?

13 Kasım 2016, Pazar

There is enormous change in the world's sociology including the U.S. and Europe's sociology. It is not easy to understand and analyze this change as we are still in the middle of change. Change is in process and it is yet to complete itself. Therefore it is important to be cautious against all analyses until this change is complete. This includes this article too.The first change that alarmed the whole world was probably the Brexit, when the U.K. decided to leave the European Union. Everyone thi

Things will not change with Trump but you

11 Kasım 2016, Cuma

It would be no exaggeration to say "The world is stunned." Republican Donald Trump heading the world's most powerful country and biggest army and economy shook everybody.If you think about it, this angry man who swears and shouts at everybody around him now holds the passwords that can fire the world's most terrifying nuclear weapons. Even this idea alone is frightening to people.Americans fell in love with their executionerThe reason behind all these frightening feelings is the campaign process

This is what defending your country is. The road to the Yenikapı rally

07 Ağustos 2016, Pazar

For years we struggled for Palestine, Bosnia, Egypt, Syria, Algeria and Myanmar. The whole world saw that Turkey was the strongest defender of the rights off the oppressed. These countries were occupied, they experienced coups, thousands were killed, others were exiled, and Turkey was the country to voice their troubles to the world.Incidents that give society a political conscienceWe have felt the pain, shared the suffering with the Muslim world and struggled for them for nearly 40 years. On th

Muslims' test with Israel

01 Temmuz 2016, Cuma

The agreement with Israel caused a fluctuation among conservative groups. Our circle is always sensitive toward Jerusalem, Palestine, Gaza and Mavi Marmara issues. These are the issues that we get emotional about the most. The entire Muslim world has been in mourning since the invasion of Palestine in World War I. There has been blood, exile, occupation and death on those lands since the day the Israeli state was declared. People of a faith whose first qiblah has been invaded should be in mourni

A Ramadan day as fire rains on Aleppo

10 Haziran 2016, Cuma

It was raining fire. This fire had burned Aleppo down. Just like the phosphorus bombs that rained on Gaza, the phosphorus bombs hit the children in Aleppo. You would think such things happen only in tales, in old horror stories of the old or in mythology. But there are monsters with fire coming out of their mouths in Aleppo. It really rains fire from the sky.There are seven-headed dragons made of steel.There are man-eating monsters in this city.In other words, this is not a place a child should

“You couldn't even be like Iran”

26 Şubat 2016, Cuma

You must have heard this saying recently. It is an argument used by those who criticize Turkey's foreign policies and politics. They have been saying, “Iran is very successful, why isn't Turkey as successful as Iran?” The answer to be given to this statement is: “Thank God we aren't like Iran.” Iran is losing people in four countries In active battles in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon, no one knows how many soldiers and commissioned officers Iran has lost. Iran has never disclosed a number. No

We need to find new ways far from terrorism

15 Kasım 2015, Pazar

Yes, because of its colonist attitude, France has caused millions of people in Africa and the Middle East to die, be exiled and suffer famish and a terrible life. And this colonization still continues. If we were to discuss this issue from morning to night, it wouldn't change the fact that we are right. France couldn't have a single argument to defend itself in this sense. Yet, explaining and fighting this issue in order to gain our rights cannot be achieved through terrorism. A Muslim canno

We will pull ourselves together, after we vote

01 Kasım 2015, Pazar

You have been listening to election propaganda for months. And you will vote today. You cannot change the color of your vote after anymore. Therefore, I will not write a column suggesting who you should vote for and why. Besides the reader of this column would know who to vote for without needing my advice. I would like to stress on what we will be doing after casting our votes. It doesn't matter whether a single party government or a coalition government is formed. I believe important things

Who carried out the triple attack?

11 Ekim 2015, Pazar

The late Professor Mahir Kaynak, one of the most important figures of Turkish intelligence had said, “ Whoever benefits from the result of an incident, the perpetrators should be searched there.” I believe, a formula stronger than this to solve obscure problems hasn't been found till today. This formula is still being used.A triple attack It is hard to speak or write in an environment in which tens of people have died. Even if you are in the right, you may fall into positions, which will put yo

Need for political unity

09 Ekim 2015, Cuma

All big governments do something in particular before crises and growth, and that is political unification. We can see many examples of this in European and even Asian history. Our history is the same too. This is exactly how the Ottomans grew and gained strategic power. They put emphasis on the solidness of the land they would step on and national unity.You can't open a second front in the back while fighting in another front Unification is important for both politics and government reflexes.
