Markus Soder, Germany, Turkey, Europe, and the Apostate Free Masonic, Anglo-French Elite

[ Posted On: 2008-01-11 ]

We have repeatedly supported an Asiatic – Middle Eastern Vision for Turkey, as a means of extensive democratization and secularization of a vast region spanning between China and the Red Sea, which is inhabited by Muslims, predominantly but not exclusively. If we advocate Turkey's political, economic, academic and intellectual mobilization in Asia, it is because we believe that from and through this position Turkey can better contribute to Peace in the World.

This does not however mean that Turkey does not have a European vocation, identity, and past; on the contrary! As heir of the Ottoman and the Eastern Roman Empires (an unsurpassed continuity of almost 1700 years!), and as premier advocate of the Enlightenment among Muslims in Europe (due to Kemal Ataturk's groundbreaking changes), Turkey is more European than many other countries currently member states of the European Union.

Either Turkey decides to finally adhere to the European Union or not, the European Heritage and Culture have irreversibly got a distinct Turkish, Ottoman, and Islamic stamp. Erasing this is sheer Intellectual Terrorism. European Union policy makers must understand that True European History matters much more than Brussels' Butter Price Decision Making.

Dramatic Consequences of a Flat European 'No' to Turkey

There are many gullible European citizens who, misinformed by the Euro-'Masonic' mass media, fail to understand that a flat, unfair and unjustified European rejection of Turkey's candidacy simply means War. By this, we do not mean a war declaration from Turkey in the aftermath of a deliberate rejection; no, this will not happen. Simply, a flat, unfair and unjustified European rejection will trigger two developments that herald friction and war:

1. Direct, anti-European radicalization of the Muslim populations of Europe
A European 'No' to Turkey means automatically that the European establishment despises the Turks and the other Muslims who already live in various European countries. It is as if the European elites say to these millions of Europeans: “we want you as cheap labor force, but as your culture is alien, we don't want you to contaminate us, and we keep you apart, in your little, filthy ghettos”. European politicians seem to forget that all these Muslim populations, particularly the Turks, know very well that European History without Islam simply does not exist – it refers only to pre-Islamic periods.

and

2. Advanced and across the board cooperation between Turkey, Russia and China
A flat 'No' to Turkey would automatically entail grave reprisals, as the outright majority of the country would feel directly offended in an extremely appalling and utterly unacceptable way; no Turkish government would survive without severe reprisals against Europe, and France in particular.

Europe's problem with Turkey is mostly Germany's problem with ..... Germany.

Under normal conditions, Germany, the European country with the strongest traditional links with Turkey and the Ottoman Empire, would be the Advocate, true and not false (like England), of Turkey's adhesion to European Union. Why does this not happen?

The answer hinges on the formation of the modern un-German, German political establishment in the aftermath of WW II. Exploiting the Nazi defeat, France and England, inconsiderately supported by America in this regard, imposed a fake, pro-Western political establishment in Bonn, the notorious Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

This political establishment in its totality was as un-German as that imposed by the Soviets in Eastern Germany (Deutsche Demokratische Republik).

By this, we do not suggest that the possibly authentic German political establishment was Nazism; on the contrary. There is abundant documentation about the fact that in the early 30s the German noblesse and the German Left did not consider the then rising Nazis as authentically German but as an ideological deviation and perversion.

Some among Hitler's ministers may have belonged to the Thule Gesellschaft, but they finally hijacked this esoteric society, and its founder, Rudolf von Sebottendorf, abandoned Germany, and settled in Istanbul.

The fact that the current German political system is deeply un-German makes it gravely unrepresentative and severely prejudicial to Germany's national interests.

As the German statesmen try to accommodate themselves with the interests of the Apostate Free Masonic Lodge that controls France, England and a part of the American establishment, their political – ideological attitude makes them look politically dwarf, pale and fake.

That's how France gives today French speech to the German political lips, thus creating Europe's most ostensible problem.

The problem seems to have been considered as extremely preoccupying by Vatican – and not without reason.

An authentically German political establishment would oppose the erratic Anglo-French policies, devices, machinations, and plots, one of which is the racist, Anti-Turkish and Anti-Islamic stance.

Bavarian Europe Minister Markus Soder (CSU) and the falsifications of the Apostate Free Masonic Lodge

In an interview published in the German Die Welt under the title “Turkey will never become EU member state” (http://www.welt.de/politik/article1531451/Die_Tuerkei_wird_nicht_Mitglied_der_EU.html),
Markus Soder bears witness to the aforementioned analysis. The Bavarian Minister of Europe, promoted the Anti-Turkish, Anglo-French plans, by saying in a flat and unjustified way that Turkey will never become EU member state (Ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass die Türkei nicht Mitglied der EU werden wird.). This gravely damages the genuinely German national interests of Germany.

Asked about the ongoing negotiations, he said that they must be interrupted as soon as possible (Die Beitrittsverhandlungen mit der Türkei müssen schnellstmoglich abgebrochen werden).

Mr. Markus Soder (http://www.markus-soeder.de/ - whereby one can study at will Mr. Soder's signature and the included signs and symbols, circles, curves and points) said that it would be impossible for the European Union to accept this for cultural and financial reasons (Dies würde nicht nur die Türkei, sondern vor allem auch die Europäische Union kulturell und finanziell überfordern).

At the end of his interview, Mr. Markus Soder tried to say that Germany should not be EU's main financial aid contributor; this reflects the financial overstrain (überfordern) that Turkey's adhesion to the EU would entail.

In fact, Mr. Markus Soder is absolutely right, as regards the financial reasons; but we have to see the problem in terms of principles, not occurrences. 'Germany can afford to pay for Slovenia, but cannot do the same for Turkey'; this would rather be political amoralism and a Mafia approach.

I believe that even for tiny Malta Germany should cease to be EU's main financial aid contributor. Why doesn't the otherwise intelligent Mr. Soder launch a debate on this subject in Germany? The Germans would agree in their outright majority. I have the feeling that probably Mr. Soder's invisible maestros advised him beforehand not to attempt something like that, as the national interests of Germany were never their concern.

Turkey: Europe's Cultural Overstrain or Historical Cradle?

If Mr. Soder spoke in a brief and devious way about the financial overstrain, he did not say a single word about the cultural overstrain. This pertains to the most common argument against the Turkish candidacy for European Union membership, namely the fact that Turkey would be the first Muslim country to become member, and that this is impossible.

Only if based on erroneous and misconceived historical education, one would be surprised with the adhesion of a Muslim country in the European Union. Quite unfortunately, the historical reality is constantly if not permanently disregarded and misrepresented in almost all the countries of Europe.

Italians or Spaniards, French and English, Germans and Austrians still express a deep anti-Islamic animosity, as if we live at the times of Andrea Doria, who in 1532, when Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent threatened Hungary, landed on the western coast of Greece, then Ottoman province, took Corone and Patras, and even considered an attack against Istanbul.

The political and academic establishments of Europe should truly understand that we do not live at the times of the Norman Reconquista of Sicily, 1061 – 1087, anymore.

In a multicultural, secular Europe, no one can think of having the hands of Muslims cut off, as the Normans did in Palermo.

Will Europeans decide to cut off the hands of the European Muslims?

European Union cannot afford to have another Palermo Porta Nuova erected in the year 2008. This unforgettable monument (situated at the beginning of Corso Vittorio Emanuele) with its imposing mass, majolica-tiled pinnacle, and the enormous busts of the four Muslims, represented as prisoners with mutilated arms, cannot be an example for the 3rd millennium Europeans. The invisible masters of the Apostate Free Masonic Lodge must understand at least this reality.

European History hinges on and encompasses Islam - to very large extent

In the same way, Europeans learned not to have the hands of Muslims cut off, they must now realize that they cannot afford to have part of real European History cut off the European Primary and Secondary Education manuals.

We must start with correct terms; if European intellectuals and statesmen, academia and Human Rights activists want real progress for the continent under unification, terms like Moors, Saracens, and Arabs cannot be used anymore with regard to the population of Islamic Sicily, Crete or Spain.

When introduced, at a period of vociferous and abysmal hatred, these terms were deprecatory. In addition, they do not depict the historical reality, since the outright majority of the Muslims in the three aforementioned parts of southern Europe were local Cretans, Sicilians and Iberians.

Europe is famous for its research centers and universities; at times excellent historical studies are published but they are then kept secret from the great public, and leave no trace on the historical manuals of the Primary and Secondary Education, where the falsehood and the misconception is preserved for long. To give an example, we may cite here the pertinent study of the Arabic Administration in Norman Sicily by Jeremy Johns of the University of Oxford.

In his book (http://www.cambridge.org/uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521816920), the British Orientalist (http://faculty.orinst.ox.ac.uk/staff/index2.php?member=johns) focuses on Norman Sicily, and through use of Sicilian Arabic documents he demonstrates that the Norman kings restructured their administration on the model of the contemporary administration of Fatemid Egypt, which means contemporaneous Islamic political influence going beyond the simple level of Islamic rule over Sicily.

Jeremy Johns argues that this choice was due to the fact that the Norman rulers of Sicily cared mostly about ways to project their royal image, not just administrative efficiency. For more than 150 years after the Norman Reconquista of Sicily, the local population was predominantly Muslim.

Such studies should make their way onto manuals and magazines, newspapers and TV programs, radio emissions and documentary movies. If the European political pledge against discrimination and racism is true, then there is good reason to pass on an alarming warning because of the prevailing - among average Europeans - ignorance of the Islamic roots and dimensions of Modern Europe.

Islam in Europe was an overwhelming phenomenon: in 11 out of the present 27 member states of the European Union (precisely 40%), there was Islamic rule, culture, art, science and civilization over part of, or their entire, territory for at least some centuries: Portugal, Spain, France (Corsica), Italy, Malta, Hungary, Slovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Cyprus. Shorter presence was noted in Austria.

If we view Europe in its totality, there was Islamic rule, culture, art, science and civilization in no less than 20 countries (so almost half of Europe's states). Of course, as it is known, the most important centers of Islamic cultural and political power in Europe were the Balkans and the Iberian Peninsula.

In a way, we can divide Europe in two parts, namely the part that became familiar with the Islamic Culture and the part that has been left out of the Islamic circumference.

Islamic Heritage on more than half of the European territory

When making this division, if we take into account the purely geographical dimension of the historical facts, we easily note that more than half of the European territory (European part of Russia included) has belonged to Islamic culture and power. All this remains unknown to or unfelt and voluntarily forgotten by the average Europeans in the year 2008!

Measures for the familiarization of the European peoples with Islam

Basic aim of the European Colonial Historiography has always been to demonize Islam, to depict it as something barbaric, 'other', odd and alien, to present it as a sort of 'Arabo-Muslim Civilization', and to hide from the European public the foremost contributions of the Islamic Civilization to the History of the Mankind.

To do so, European bogus intellectuals and disastrous politicians passed under silence the presence of Islam on European soil, the vicinity and the interactions between the Islamic and the non-Islamic worlds on European soil, and mostly the common background of the two entities that were falsely considered as 'two different worlds' supposedly opposed to each other. All this led average European and American masses to ignorance, confusion, and darkness.

Academicians and Intellectuals must work on a vast common cultural – educational project of pertinent presentation of Islam to the European public, correcting, amending and even criticizing the errors of the earlier misleading presentation. The correct presentation of the Islamic Civilization to the European public opinion must turn around the following axes:

1. As it happens within the context of every civilization, there has been a great variety of approaches, interpretations, theories and philosophical - ideological systems within Islam. What matters for Europeans is the historical, European Islam.

2. Instead of confusing European readership with Islamic practices in Sahara and in Central Asia, the main focus must be on

a. Islamic commentary on, and interpretation, use, adaptation of, erudite scholars and philosophers who belong to European cultural background.

An example is given by Jelaleddin Rumi Mevlana, the central figure of Turkish Sufism, founder of the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, and author of the vast poetical – philosophical composition 'Mathnawi' (http://muslim-canada.org/sufi/book1rumi.htm).

In this colossal work, Jelaleddin Rumi (1207 – 1273, died in Konya/Iconium) composed a Neo-Platonic adaptation of Islam that could be and actually was easily diffused and accepted by the Greek speaking populations of Anatolia.

b. Islamic representation of figures of the Antiquity, Babylonian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek and Roman.

To offer an example, the foremost position accorded to Alexander the Great in works such as Shahnameh of Ferdowsi (Persian / 10th century) and Sekander Nameh of Nezami (Azeri Turk / 12th century), who seem to have assessed material already found in Pseudo-Callisthenes' Alexander Romance, bears witness to the common background, concepts, values, and approaches of both, Islam and Europe.

c. Academic, theoretical, ideological, philosophical and theological exchanges, interactions and juxtapositions.

It is essential for the average Europeans to know that the first Eastern Roman references to the explosion of Muhammad's prophecy, the Medieval Greek Historian Theophanes, and the Chronicle Paschale, do not depict Islam as a separate or alien religion but as a latest Nestorian heresy and Christological dispute.

The exchange of scholars and manuscripts between Constantinople and Abbasid Baghdad, the Islamic influence on the Quarrel over Icons within the Eastern Roman Empire, the free Islamic – Islamophile choice of medieval European erudite scholars like Hermann of Karantania (Carinthia), who lived in the 12th century and was among the top bridges between the two academia, the study of the Ancient World by European Muslim scholars either in Andalusia or in the Ottoman Empire, the artistic – architectural exchanges on European soil, all this must replace the repetitive eulogies of the 'Greco-Roman' heritage of Europe that – alone – gives a false impression about the continent's pluralistic cultural past.

3. A moment of repentance and regret is necessary for Europe. The various reconquistas pursued here and there from Iberia through Sicily to the Balkans signified the demolition of many mosques and medresas, the destruction of valuable manuscripts and artistic masterpieces, the extermination of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Jews, the expulsion of many. If people want to build a healthy and righteous Europe, either Turkey wants to be part of it or not, Europeans cannot limit their regret and penitence in the 20th century. Europe has been the continent of of genocide par excellence – long before the last one, perpetrated against the Jews. This historical reality must be acknowledged, denounced, and regretted.

4. A vast project should be undertaken to bring in cooperation numerous Turkish and European Universities that will encompass exchange of scholars and students, a long list of lectures and courses, research programs, and PhD topics, which must subsequently be widely popularized in the press throughout Europe.

To this, various exhibitions, publication projects, newsletters and magazines should be added.

Furthermore, a special committee should be formed to study, conclude and suggest the proper changes, amendments and additions for the Primary and Secondary Education manuals for all the member states of the European Union.

With all this, ends a first part of the Euro-Turkish Cultural Rapprochement that will reveal to modern Europeans some of the most authentic moments of European Culture that went under oblivion for too long. This should happen either Turkey finally decides to adhere in the EU or not.
