Free Speech


It may offend you, you may not agree with what he is saying, but he should freely express his mind without the fear of persecution. That is exactly the point of freedom of speech. Dictators hate free speeches. Freedom of speech is a high crime and treason in this country. That is how dictators silence oppositions.

The main opposition political parties are all proved to be inept and incapable of organizing any resistance. There was finally a hope three weeks ago when such long-awaited resistance happened in a massive scale as thousands marched from Ankara to Istanbul on foot protesting the massacre of justice in Turkey, which is certainly not a small feat at any scale of imagination, 24 day ordeal crossing an up and down 500 km distance between the two biggest cities. Though, since then the complacency set back in proving the skeptics and nay-sayers who did not get impressed with the inconsequential chest pounding of the weak leadership of the opposition. The anticipated stagnant stand since then only confirmed the obvious ineffectiveness with no coordinated rigorous follow up plan of the continuation of such showdowns that could certainly bolster the hope of its people. It did not happen.

In the interim, we witness the cruelty and the injustice that rampant at an unprecedented scale each passing day in this multi-cultural society where the tensions are rising to a point of no return. However unfortunate, and damaging to its peaceful citizens, some form of civil conflict is becoming more and more eminent. Though, contrary to the common thought of its people, it will not be between the two islamic mafia leaders as it happened last year in the so-called "coup" attempt, which to this day the details are still murky but between the laiks and the cihadists. It all depends on how much longer the seculars could bear this injustice and the rapid erosion of the state of affairs towards sharia.

The bigger and perhaps the more fundamental issue for the defeat of the seculars by the Islamists in all elections since 2012 is that they too are following Islam. Being secular and following islam 'timidly' when you have a true cihadist as your opponent is a loosing hand. The opposition leadership should be knowledgable and cognizant of the fact that secularism can not reconcile with Islam, but still show mastership in playing the hand cleverly to shepherd the pious people of the inner steps of Anatolia just like its founder did. It is proved once that it could be done albeit in dire conditions fighting for independence, which some think that as an advantage that is not existing for the same kind of shepherding that needs to happen today. But I defer.

How it will pan out remains to be seen. One thing is certain though that the polarization is nakedly clear, and the people of Turkey is afraid to admit it to themselves. To this day, it is safer to speculate and blame the weaker of the two evils instead of holding both accountable that they are of the same breed and they are both equally responsible of the countless corruptions, deaths and treason. They must be tried and put into prison instead of the journalists. Though, nobody wants to get hurt since any singular opposition is silenced swiftly and indifferently. Everyone is staying away from confronting the monster with whom the clash is inevitable. Nevertheless, there is always one or few courageous journalists that never get extinct.


The final straw was the unlawful detainment of the journalists from the prominent leftist newspaper Cumhuriyet. They were held in prison in the last nine months without a charge and only this week they were finally brought before the court with mind blowing accusations from the state prosecutor. The prosecutor could not present to the court any proof of ties that could implicate these battered journalists, cartoonists, with any terrorist organization. The exchanges between the accusers and the defenders were only about what they wrote in their columns which in of itself alone is the clear indication of admitting the real nature of the charge, and that is the freedom of speech. Shame on us.

Yildim artik

Son zamanlarda Ataturk'un Suud kralina yazdigi telgraf diye birsey ortada dolasiyor. Bu tamamen, kulliyen igrenc bir yalan. Asilsizdir, kaniti yoktur. Ataturk gibi bir sahsiyetin diplomasi ve mantik kurallarini hice sayan boylesine avam bir yazi yazmis olmasi da beklenemez. Sahte yazi ne diyor bakalim: Suud krali, Muhammed'in mezarina dokunursan, kurtulus savasini birakir seni yakarim yikarim diyor. İddiayı bundan birkaç sene önce bir iktisat profesörü ortaya atmis (hic sasirmadim) , Dışişleri Bakanlığı’nda (bir yerde de bambaska bir yer diyor) hadisenin orijinal belgesini gördüğünü ama kopyasını almasına izin verilmediğini söylemis. Bak bak, uckagida bak sen... İbn Suud‘un peygamberin mezarını yıkmayı düşünmesinin imkânsızlığını bir tarafa bırakın, Türk birliklerinin kurtarilacak bir vatan varken, Mekke’ye kadar nasıl gidecekleri, İngiliz idaresindeki Irak ile Fransız mandası altındaki Suriye’den nasıl geçecekleri düşünülmeden, ortaya atılan bu tuhaf iddia da palavradan ibarettir. Üstelik, arşivlerde de bu konu hakkında tek bir belge yoktur! Suud kralligi 1919'da yok. 1919'da Mustafa Kemal, Ataturk ismi almamis, Suud'a telgraf cekmek imkansiz. Kimisi 1926'da atilmis diyor, peki o zaman da Kurtulus savasi zaten kazanilmisti. Yani nereden baksan "manufactured" amatorce kurgulanmis bir yalan. Cok benzer birseyleri hatirlatiyor, degil mi ? Gizli taniklar, sehven telefon kayitlari, duzmece dijital belgeler... Bu resmi daha once de gormustuk.

Ozellikle 1919'da kurtarilacak bir vatan varken Ataturk'un bu tur islerle ugrasacak saniyesi yoktur. Bunlari da gecelim, Ataturk'u has elhamdullillah musluman gibi gostermeye calisanlarin gercek amaci bellidir. Ataturk'un Islam icin soyledikleri ve yazdiklarina hic gecmeden, ne yaptigini gormek yeterlidir. Hilafeti, tarikatlari, peseyi, tesetturu, sarigi, fesi yirtip atan kim ? Dinden beyni sulanmis hafiza donen milleti uyandirmak icin Arab'in sacmaliklarini tercume ettirip bu millete okutacam diyen kimdir ? Ikre bismil rabbi safsalariyla kafasi uyusmus Turk milleti millet olma rabitasini yitirmistir diyen kimdir ? Sanati, ilmi rehber gosterip, biz gokten indigi farzedilen kitaplardan ilham almayiz diyen kimdir ? Bunlari ve daha fazlasini binlece defa yazdik. Bircogunuz bana ah yazik, dinle kafayi bozmus, bulasmamak lazim, diye omuz silkti. Farkindayim. Ama kim kimi kandiriyor. Bunlari gormek istemeyip, sirf kendilerini kandiran kesim Ataturk'u elhamdullillah musluman gibi gostermeye niye calisir. Neden ? Ataturk'e ve Turkiye'ye en buyuk hainligi yapan aslinda tam da bu kesimdir. Islama odun veren Islamcilarla savasamaz, ancak onlara mama olur. Turkiye'de olan biten de budur. Hic utanip sikilmaya gerek yok, okumanizi kimse engellemiyor.. Ne Nutuk’u, ne Medeni Bilgiler'i, ne de bes para etmez besleri bilirler. Islam tarihini ve kitabinin ne yazdigi duymazdan, bilmezden gelirler. Buna aymazlik denir. Omuz silkmekle gecmez.

Amerika'da Avrupa'da ust yerlere dahi gelebilirler, doktor olurlar, avukat olurlar, dekan olurlar ancak ne yazikdir ki, halen kendilerini yabanci ve magdur hissedecek kadar ruhlari ezik, kafalari Islmala muhurludur.


Bazilari da sunu der, bizim inancimiz Suud'dan farkli derler. Bizim Islam anlayisimiz Anadolu Islamidir der. Peki bu elhamdullilah Ataturkculer'e soruyorum sizin peygamber efendiniz farkli mi sizin kitabiniz farkli mi ? Acaba ganimetin nasil paylasilacagini ve kadinlari seks objesi olarak goren ayetler yazmis baska bir Muhammed'e mi inanirsiniz, kimdir sizin peygamber efendiniz ? Dunyayi domine etmek icin kendinden olmayanlara cihat ilan etmis bir baska kitap midir ? Sizin Kitabinizin ismi nedir ? Ogrenmek istiyorum. Kendinizi kandirmayin. Bu AKP hukumranligi bizzat sizin Islamla yetismisliginizin ve ahiret korkularinizin neticesidir. Ataturkculuk akilciliktir derken neden Islam’a deginmezsiniz, tabumudur ? Gercekleri soylemekten korkan "gercek Islam bu degil" kerizine yatan sozde aydinlara soruyorum. Biraz da kelimenin anlamini bir kere olsun dogru irdeleyin, gercekten “akilci" olun, sirf boyle yetistirildiginiz icin akla, mantiga, humaniteye karsi daha ne kadar bu din kandirmacasina tahammul edeceksiniz? Ben edemiyorum, kusura bakmayin.
