“If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek!” says Jesus Christ according to the Bible.
However, the Vatican's influence in the Crusades and in many of Europe's internal wars cannot be denied. Sectarian massacres, the Salisbury Massacre and wars between Catholic states are clear examples of this.
The picture is not very different in the Islamic world. Those who kill each other with the takbir are the ummah of the Prophet of Mercy, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Both seek his intercession. But which of those who slaughter each other in the name of the same faith will be interceded for?
Ottoman Muslim, Mamluk Muslim...
Where is the word of God in this picture?
Egypt was already Muslim. Despite this “The Conquest of Egypt” as a conquest. However, in Islamic literature, conquest is the opening of a non-Muslim town to Islam. In this context, the conquest of Istanbul is correct; the conquest of Egypt is controversial.
That is to say, the main objective is often war, and religion is used as a tool in this process.
Religion has not been a roof that holds people together, as is claimed. Throughout history, no religion, whether celestial or human, has been able to fulfill this mission. Religion has often been at the command of the sword; it has been transformed into a ground of legitimacy for the powers through clergymen.
Genghis Khan's “There cannot be two suns in the sky and two kings on the ground” the words of Yavuz Sultan Selim were met with hatred, while the words of Yavuz Sultan Selim “This world is too much for one sultan and too little for two” The word can be sanctified.
The verb is the same, the intention is the same; it is only the speaker who changes.
This is the clearest indication of the disease of interpretation according to the perpetrator.
The atrocities of the Umayyad period, the Wars of the Seven Roses in Europe, the struggles for succession... There is no need to go into details. People of the same religion, the same language, killed each other in the name of faith; everyone was following his own path. “right” that he was the only one.
One inevitably asks the question:
“How can people not see such an obvious truth?”
They are not blind
They just don't want to see.
They think they are happy unless they see, scholars unless they know, saints unless they hear. The fiction is built accordingly. East-West doesn't matter; the system works the same way.
Today, the West is somewhat more sensitive. The rate of reading and questioning is high. It is not easily deceived. But this is not true for every country. Unfortunately, in the Islamic and Eastern world, this awareness has not reached the masses. This is why “third world countries”, are the most loyal customers of the war industry.
Everyone when asked “I'm going to die” He says.
But in reality he goes to kill.
Who wants to die young?
But it is shameful to say it. This requires a sacred cover. And this is where “clergy” enter.
Pope, sheikh, priest, imam...
Whatever the name, most of the time the task is the same.
Moreover, throughout history, they have spoken the most about courage and gone to war the least. As it is easy to divorce a bachelor, it is always comfortable to preach without paying the price.
But is a world without war possible?
Unfortunately, no.
Man is insatiable. He creates problems. If someone attacks your land for no reason, of course you defend it. In that case it is legitimate to fight.
Forced war is an honor.
Arbitrary war is tyranny.
Unfortunately, history is often a history of arbitrary wars.
Millions of people have been buried for the sake of pride, lust for power and ego.
All these experiences show us that:
Real peace is not possible with slogans, but with reason, conscience and justice.
All these historical experiences show us that...
The essence and truth of the matter is again in the motto of the great leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
It's hidden!
“Peace at home, peace in the world.”
