Hagia Sophia will “punish”… …Erdogan and the Turks who “follow” him. They insult Allah and humiliate the Turkish people.
When, after six centuries of continuous presence in a space, someone displays title deeds by invoking the law of war and the right of the conqueror, it means they have failed… It means they did not utilize time to turn this initial, fleeting right into an eternal, natural reality. Furthermore, when one attempts to “involve” their God in this “right” of the jungle, it is blasphemous to say the least… You do not honor your God with “stolen goods”… Quite the contrary, since you “expose” Him to everyone else, presenting Him as a “receiver of stolen goods.” That is to say, even if we assume that a property “right” exists behind seizure and plunder—for reasons of “economy” in human historical evolution—it goes without saying that this “right” cannot drag God along, making Him a participant and therefore an accomplice in such “lowly” human practices.
Simple logic is all it takes to understand the unprecedented barbarism expressed today by Erdogan and his political gang. The property right resulting from a conquest has meaning and value for a few days or a few years after a change of possession due to a military conflict. One invokes the right of conquest while the ruins they conquered are still “smoking.” When, after six centuries—and especially the recent ones, which were centuries of tremendous technological evolution—you have not managed to “swallow” the works of your predecessors and erase them from the “memory” of the space you inhabit, it means that during all this time you have done nothing significant—or at least nothing significant enough—to “cover up” the previous owners.
You have occupied a foreign space, which you have turned into your “nest,” and you function solely on instincts… like an animal. You defend everything around you as your property, whether you understand what it is or not. You are like crows that gather valuable and shiny objects in their nests without knowing their use, and without being able to make anything similar themselves. They gather them, protect them, and boast of them as prey… and nothing more. Unfortunately for the Turkish people, this is how Erdogan understands his presence in Asia Minor… Like crows protecting valuable “prey.”
With his foolish stance, he traps the people at the level of an occupier and “proclaims” this to the entire world, thinking it is a demonstration of power. He traps them at the level of the “invader,” who simply possesses—through brute animal force—a spiritual creation that belongs to others, and was dedicated to Another.
That is exactly what this is about. It is a humiliation for the Turkish people to invoke the right of the conqueror after so many centuries. There is no comparable example anywhere else in the world. Nowhere else in the world is there another people who, for so many centuries, continue to declare themselves foreigners and invaders in their supposed homeland… To celebrate with “fanfare” the “beginning” of a situation that has never “ended.” The Greeks “swallowed” the Pelasgians. The Romans did the same with the Etruscans. The same happened in modern history as well. The Anglo-Saxons, through their works and history, literally “erased” every Celtic “memory” from England. The Poles, in less than a century, “erased” a Prussian “memory” spanning several centuries. Only the Turks continue to “invoke” the law of war, which legitimizes them as foreign conquerors in Asia Minor.
Six centuries later, you cannot expect to do the same things the Conqueror did… Six centuries later, you cannot “appease” your God with “stolen goods”… Six centuries later, you should have vindicated Him, through your works and deeds, for His choice to support you… You should have created so many “diamonds”—specifically crafted for your God—that you would have no reason to look among the “stolen loot”… Furthermore, you should have the necessary self-confidence and strength of soul to respect the previous people who achieved greatness in the very same space… You should have the generosity to return the “borrowed” “diamond”—which is seemingly, at least, of no practical value to anyone in that space—to the common “treasury” of all human civilization.
