I have repeated countless times in recent years that there is only one decisive issue that can allow a reversal of relations between Turkey, Europe and the Christian world in general: Western and Orthodox. And these are not the economic contradictions, as many imagine.
More important is the transformation of Turkey, under the leadership of Erdogan, into a contender for the leadership not only of “Muslims” but of Islam. And Islam is claiming Muslim sovereignty over other peoples. In Western societies, especially after 9/11, as happened to some extent in Russia after the war in Afghanistan, Islam is gradually emerging as the dominant internal opposition of European societies. And this was created by the “careless”, not to say criminal, behavior of the ruling elites in the face of strengthening Muslim immigration, for purely economic reasons and the exploitation of cheap labor, say with Merkel and the Industrialists Union. Germans.
Behavior that overlooked a fundamental fact that these refugees and immigrants are not just meat for factories, but are bearers of a cultural model. A model that is not only incompatible with that of Christian countries, but also inevitably tends to acquire aggressive and divisive characteristics. This is because Europe, in both East and West, is in demographic, cultural and economic decline, while Islam is rapidly strengthening demographically and economically. In any case, Islam is by nature a political religion, as it has spread through military conquest, while Muhammad was both a prophet and a warrior, unlike the “Lamb of God”.
Therefore, exclusive identification with a religion that possesses these characteristics leads relatively easily to adherence to Islam, especially within the “hostile” and indeed tolerant realm of the Christian world and Western societies. There, religion ceases to be – if it ever has been in Islam – a simple individual or collective event and tends to transform itself into a political ideology, that is, in Islam. Much more so when a certain population level is exceeded and sufficiently strong communities are formed as a percentage of the total population.
These communities tend to acquire distinctive characteristics, as President Macron pointed out, that is, they form politico-religious minorities within the host countries. That is why they bear no resemblance to the migratory flows of other peoples and times, such as the Greeks, Italians or Irish in the United States, or the Italians, Spanish and Poles in France or Germany. These populations, even when they maintain a reference to their country of origin and traditions, are organically integrated in the host countries.
On the contrary, in the current situation, such a thing is impossible to happen to the large Muslim populations, which Islam can easily access. Consequently, any synthesis there can only be possible once Muslim populations cease to be defined politically-ideologically on the basis of religious identity solely or preferentially, and are defined mainly on the basis of their broader political or ideological conceptions. .
This is already happening in part, increasingly, in Muslim countries, where Islam is already in decline, for example in countries where it has ruled for many years, such as Iran. As strange as it may seem to many readers, as long as the topic of new Iranian cinema is seen.
In conclusion, the ideological change that can allow Muslims to coexist with other populations, when they form important communities within them, has not yet occurred and presupposes the reduction of migratory flows and a generalized fight against separatist phenomena. And this is now painfully understood by governments and elites in countries like France. Consequently, Macron’s reaction to the extreme Islamism that has so bloodied France in recent years is a turning point for European societies as a whole.
Apart from its other general consequences, this event is of great importance for Greece, since Erdogan appears to be the leader of the Islamist movement on an international scale; And, as Sunni Muslims make up 90% of the Muslim population worldwide, it may be to claim this position against the Islamic Shiite minority of the mullahs. Erdogan, portrayed as the main defender of European Islam, is brought into direct confrontation with European societies and is gradually excluded from the European family, which has inexcusably and petty agreement to include Turkey in its ranks. Therefore, this attitude inevitably leads, in the short and medium term, to a conflict with Europe. And this fact can turn Greece into a true European border, provided that Greece shows that it is determined to defend itself and its Europeanity.
This finding first calls us to an immediate military alliance, here and now, with France. At the same time, it can respond to all those who regard the entry of Muslim immigrant flows into Greece as an “opportunity” whether economic or – listen, listen – even “cultural”.
If France is faced with these problems, located in the center of Europe, we understand what such a development can mean for Greece, an increasing strengthening of the Muslim population under the auspices of the Islamization of Turkey. Furthermore, already important Arab countries, such as Egypt, with a predominantly Muslim identity, reject the Islamization of the Muslim Brotherhood and Erdogan and rather ally themselves with Greece.
