There’s been a lot of talk about Erdogan’s efforts to make Turkey a leader of the Islamic world. In some ways, it has achieved a lot. But there are also a lot of obstacles. So, what do you think? Could it ever become a Muslim superpower? As ever, let me know your thoughts below.
Absolutely not. It could at best become an influential local power among Turkic peoples, such as the Azeri and the Kazakh. The Muslims are much more fragmented and mutually suspicious among themselves than most people imagine, quite something similar to the 16-17th centuries in Europe when Christians were at war with each other. In a hypothetical future with no global warming, it might have become a huge power when they are secularized again. But we have global warming, so probably never.
You make me laugh, he can barely make his economy function, he likes to project power, but that is bluster no substance. We in europe laugh at this person.
I highly suggest you to correct the part where you gave military ranking to Turkey. Its listed 8. strongest global fire power. Saudi Arabia is at 23. Nowhere near close. I don't know how you made that massive mistake. Its like comparing USA to Taiwan...
If the Ottoman Empire had been a colonialist state like America, England and France; Arabs, Albanians, Greeks and all other elements would be speaking Turkish. However, the Ottoman Empire was such a decent state that it did not interfere with anyone's religion or language.

@@JaiHind_ I do think that Pakistanis should not be disrespectful or nationalist to other countries especially India as there is no benefit from it, i mean the Pakistani military is patriotic and everything and uses India in some cases but another problem here is that the Pak military has controlled Pakistan as a state from almost its independence, so Pakistan doesn't have a military, the military has Pakistan, and also most Pakistani people should be and are mostly focusing on other things not related to hating on India, and i think that Pakistan and India should solidify LOC in Kashmir and further increase diplomatic ties as war and conflict is devastating for both countries. And i think that Pakistani and both Indian people alike should not be hating each other as both countries are comprised of similar faiths and ethnicities and instead should focus on preventing hatred amongst the two and prevent any persecution of religion both in Pakistan (persecution of Ahmadis, Hindus, sometimes Christians, forced religion conversions, Extremism) and in India (persecution of Islam and Muslims in general, glorifying Hindu crimes against Muslims (mostly BJP does that) and hatred against Sikhs (Indira Gandhi, Khalistan, Murder of a Canadian Citizen by RAW, Closure of gurdwarahs) ). My point being both Pakistan and India's general population accept extremism and nationalism as a valid thing when that should be and could be removed as a good thing instead.
If the past is the best predictor of the future, Turkey has a long track record of being the most capable Muslim nation to lead the Muslim world once again. Arab nations should stop restricting Turkish influence and allow them to assume the post of leader of the Muslim world

As regards Syria, turkey may have broken with the government of Syria, but not necessarily with the people.

As a Turk, I'd rather see my country as the leader of Turkic world then the Islamic world. Ottomans tried to unite Muslim world but get backstabbed by 1916 Arab revolt(British-backed). Then what did the Brits do? Gave a piece of land to Israel and installed bunch of monarchies across Arab world. Today, what we see is undemocratic dictatorship-like Arab states which are run by certain families. By the way; to whom that think Ottoman rule was a colonial-like, this is absolute nonsense. Ottomans didn't change their language to Turkish, didn't force them to copy their own religious belief. Etc so; what kind of colonization is that?...

The perception of Turkiye in the world is that it is a strong country in terms of military. It has developed a lot, especially in the last 20 years, by making a revolution in the field of defense industry. According to the report of the US-based organization CNAS, Turkiye has become the world's largest UAV-UCAV supplier with its successful performance in recent years. Its market share in the world is 65%. Its geopolitical position is quite important. Turkish TV series are also among the most watched TV series in the world. Despite all these advantages, Turkiye is a country whose economy is perceived as weak. Inflation has increased a lot due to incorrectly implemented economic policies. Despite this, its economy is diverse, developed and has a large manufacturing industry, and its tourism sector is good. It is one of the world's largest tourist destinations. It is ranked 1st in Europe and 10th in the world in agricultural production. It is the 11th largest economy in the world according to purchasing power. Turkiye's political, economic and military influence on the world has increased in the last 20 years. It seems to increase even more in the coming years.
Turkey is next to Europe and in Europe, it can learn easily from other European nations , had Ottoman empire too but ask you self why it is poor and developing nation compared to Europe and no single contribution to science or technology in past 500 years , small Korea is by far better developed. Turkey issue is it takes religion seriously which always drags growth and critical thinking , still you argue as if it is making progress , it is not.
@@islammehmeov2334 It is not and it won't be in the future. Because the reason behind the superiority of Turkiye among the Islamic States derives from its faith in positive sciences, democracy and secularism. Islamic states (not Islam) clearly suspends freedom of speech, query and criticism and without these a nation cannot reach the technological advancements of the west. Islam is the belief of people in Turkiye and that belief is between the creator Allah (the almighty) and the believers. It has nothing to do with the state itself. Turkiye treats equally to all religions and to the atheists. However, this policy doesn't mean that Turkiye support the west more than the ummah. Turkiye is by far the most helping country to the Muslim world. Some people criticize Turkiye for just talking and doing nothing to Israel. I want to ask a clear question to the people of the Muslim world. If Turkiye attacks Israel, they will all attack Turkiye including the US and the UK. Who will support us from those Arab states? The answer is none. Why should we do this? Salahaddin saved Jerusalem having the entire Muslim world behind him united. Non-Arab muslims are supporting us and I want to thank them.

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.
I think it’s best to separate modern turkey with the ottomans. Remember too the Romas were in Asia Minor for longer than the Seljuks have been there. In short - turkey is new to the area historically thinking.
@@nenenindonu what makes no sense - jsut open a history book and read about the history of Asia minor. . . you will find that it has been home to many local and foreign empires - the most recent being the Seljuk Turks. This is not meant as any disrespect for Turkey or Turks in general - it is just important to recognize the history of Asia Minor and let that be a guard against the very strange revisionist nationalism that has been allowed to grow in Turkey over the past 15 years.
Who else could be the leader if not turkey. Turks served Islam over hundreds of years. Mekka should be a independent state and turkey should be the organizators of Hajj and Umrahs. Also arabs should stop spreading lies about turkey and their establishers, like they did in the past together with britain. Atatürk did a lot of good and everything it needed to be done. Arabs and other muslim countries did not help turkey in the war and even conspired with non muslims to bring down the Khilafa.
There's not enough religious or cultural cohesion among Muslims globally for one nation to claim that title. Also, Turkey's massive economic problems undermine any superpower hopes in this regard. What I find Far more interesting is Turkey's real desire to become a more active leader of Turkic speaking nations worldwide. This is an area where they are Clearly--and obviously--the leader.

The public opinion of Turkey in Bangladesh is remarkably positive. There's an invisible bond between Muslim states that make them more likely to be in favorable standing with each other, and Turkey's recent Islamic gestures have improved their reputation immensely. Especially in all sunni non arab states, they are seen as the leader of Islam, now that they are somewhat stepping up. Yet, there's no ummah emerging anytime soon. We might like Turkey enough to trade or align with them, but we're not planning anytime soon to give them our sovereignty or make them dictate our foreign or economic policy. It's the same for all other nations I believe.
@@Moojuice4 We have never asked other Muslim states for their sovereignty in the past. If we do not unite, we will be destroyed. Have you not understood this yet? Have you not learned from the mistakes of the past? We, the Turks, want the Islamic states to be strong. We want you to get rid of the colonialist understanding of the wild west. While the capitalist crusader alliance in the west has been established, why should not an alliance be established among the Muslim states? Turkey, with its history and power, can lead the Islamic countries because it has been a state that has been in constant war for 1000s of years. It can strengthen the Islamic countries. Please understand this.

Dear people, I would like to share a few facts about the Turks. Please forgive me for taking up your time. First and foremost, the Turks are unlike any other nation. Throughout history, they have been hardworking, compassionate, always standing by the oppressed, and striving to advance in science and technology. The greatest examples of these qualities are our leaders, Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. As the Turkish nation, we have never had the aim of occupying a country, causing them pain, or creating chaos. In general, we are a nation that stands by the oppressed, just as we have done for years. Please do not compare us to Arabs or associate us with them simply because we share the Muslim faith, as the Turkish people are of a different ethnicity and are a nation that works for the peaceful coexistence of the entire world. Unlike other countries, of course, due to our geographical position, we perceive those who are envious of us and have ambitions on our land as threats and take necessary precautions accordingly. However, I must make it clear that as long as no bullet is fired at us, we will never declare war on any state or country. To quote our great leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk: "Peace at Home, Peace in the World." Thank you for listening. If you have any questions or uncertainties about Turkey, please research Turkey and the Turkish people from unbiased media sources. Stay with love and in good health.
As Mr. James, the Ottoman Empire never colonized Arab countries. If it did, we would be happy if you could tell us if there is any documentation. If the Ottoman Empire was not a colonial state, I ask you to indicate this in our other videos.I respect your point of view.
I don't believe that most Muslim countries view Turkey as a leader, and the concept of neo-Ottomanism is not welcomed in North Africa or the Middle East. In Algeria, we have never forgotten the betrayal by the Ottomans when we were attacked by France. Nor have we forgotten Turkey siding with France against us and voting against Algeria’s independence in an effort to appease the West. Turkey, being a NATO member, is also occupying land illegally in northern Iraq and Syria. While some countries in Asia may be influenced by Turkish TV shows and are more open to Turkey, nations in North Africa and the Middle East are well aware of the Turkish mindset. It's not that I hate Turkey-I see them as fellow Muslims, just like us-but I believe it’s best for everyone to stay in their own place. We’ve also seen how tourists from the Middle East are often treated poorly by Turks in Turkey. And don't forget Turkey Saudi Arabia Egypt Jordan UAE Bahrain are members of same club serving Israel and Western Interests.
I really respect your thoughtful approach. You’ve made it clear how important history is in shaping current perceptions and interactions, and that’s something we should all keep in mind.
I really appreciate your thoughtful response. The way history affects current dynamics is something that often gets overlooked, and your perspective highlights that well.
I really appreciate how you’ve highlighted the historical context in your response. It’s true that history shapes how different regions perceive each other.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s so important to consider the historical context when discussing modern relationships, and you’ve highlighted that really well.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and nuanced comment. You’re right that past events can shape current relations, and that’s something we should all consider.
Salam alaykum from Türkiye. I love all of the Islamic ummah. You are our brothers and sisters. I hope we will build a Islamic union in the future. All of countries and nations are equal. We need a mutual organisation. Like NATO or EU.
But the Arabs are failed. Their language, culture are similar. Their Arab league or United Arab Union ( I don't remember it's proper name ,but it founded by Egyptian Gamal Abdul Nasser in the base of " Arab nationalism" . Other non-arab country has different language, culture, lifestyle how can we do that?
As a Turk 🇹🇷, my opinion about the video: There are some incomplete explanations in the video. Türkiye has the most advanced defense industry among Muslim countries. Türkiye's defense exports are mostly to Muslim countries in Asia and Africa. This even includes Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and UAE 🇦🇪. Türkiye sells not only advanced drones but also warships with the latest technology. There are many issues in the Turkish-Egyptian normalization, but the main issue for the Egyptian 🇪🇬 side is to have a new ally that can ensure its security against Israel 🇮🇱. Israel has overwhelming air superiority over Egypt with fighter jets such as the F-35. For this reason, it will not be a surprise if Egypt procures the 5th generation KAAN from Türkiye. Coming to the main topic of the video, as a Turk, I do not think that Türkiye aims to be the sole leader of the Islamic World. Türkiye's aim is to see Muslim countries on Türkiye's side in a possible crisis with the West in Greece, the Eastern Mediterranean and North-East Syria. I think if we look at it from this perspective, we can make a more accurate analysis.
@@turkicpatriot1923 It may very well come down to a question of historical legacy meets future destiny. Turkiye may very well be predispositioned to be the natural leader of the Islamic world despite any preexisting or future shortcomings.

But is also seems like you missed the point of the video/ 1. This was focused on Türkiye attempt to be leader of the Muslim world..does not mean it also isn’t trying to be a super power. 2. The central Asian Turk nations are fearful of Russia which is hurting their relations with Turkey. even if its full positive it’s being held back as a result of Erdogans somewhat support for Russia.
I agree with you. I don’t see trying to be the Islamic leader or revive the Ottoman empire as a goal of Turkey. Maybe it looks like that from the outside and I think a lot of these countries in the Balkans and Middle East are willing to cooperate with Turkey, but I see the main goal of the Turkish leadership is just to have a bigger say in world affairs and make Turkey more prosperous and influential by whatever way they can. Turkey also seems like a country that will take the opportunity and risks to build relationships with many countries. For example, since the early 2000’s the Turkish presence in Africa has increased tremendously. Really this has nothing to do with Islam or the legacy of Ottoman Empire or something, but just because they saw an opportunity there to profit. A lot of important projects and buildings in Africa were built by Turkey. I think after China and possibly the US, Turkey is the country which does the most construction there now when 20 years ago this was almost nothing.
The latter's reason being that they can't expect much social, economic and political reform from Russia or even China either. And they don't want the US to dominate them as in the Pacific, so they go with Turkey. But cultural ties play a role, too.
There is a proverb in Turkish: "Whatever the origin of a person is, so will his progeny." When you look at Turkey's past, you can see that there are grandchildren of Atilla, Seljuks and Ottomans. These are only 3 powerful Turkish states that I have listed. No matter how you look at it, Turks have a history of at least 2000 years. I'm not even counting the small ones that established 16 big states. Turkey's genetics have the ability to become a global power. This will happen, but it will not happen immediately, it will take at least another 50 years.
Turkey right now is in a position of being able to talk to everyone but not necessarily being a team player with anyone. Nothing shows this like their current role within NATO.
Can you be a country geographically positioned in the middle of everything and polarized to somewhere else…is this the right thing you are thinking as a smart way to stabilize a country and keep it strong …this is not Swiss or any similar type of country that you can clearly choose one side…think before writing something…5 mins is enough if you have 🧠
@@salihoyun126 But this is also because the US keeps supporting people in Turkiye's back yard which undermine Turkish national security and which leads Turkiye into a regional partnership with Russia. I didn't say what I said as a condemnation. It is good to have people who are talking to both sides in any conflict.
Thank you Professor Ker-Lindsay for this informative video. I’m a 25 year old British born & Educated, Pakistani Muslim. I hopefully (god willingly) see my future in a Muslim country - I want to leave the U.K. Islam is a beautiful and powerful force, it’s going to be even bigger. I’d love you to make more videos about the Islamic counties you mentioned and the potential future outlook … I also need to align my career with getting a high paying salary in a warm and sunny Islamic country. إن شاء الله
Türkiye is a secular country, doesn't need to be leader or part of the "islamic" world. We are our own faction, stop putting us in brackets based on western discourse
You absolutely correct about the secularism in turkey . It look like they need centuries to change themselves to be called Muslim country . Begging for decades for EU membership and as they’re a member of NATO ( meaning having a hand with a devil and they can’t even do anything without asking for permission from the USA ) Once they’re out of those organisations then I will say Turkey will be a valuable member in a Islamic federation .
The whole Palestinian issue has raised awareness more than anything to unite Muslims nations. Well the people at least. Some leaders are pretty useless. In the case of Turkeyie, they are certainly looking to take lead on Muslim unity. This is a good thing where they can start to build better relations than before on common ground.
Biz Türkler olarak asla sizler gibi sömürgeci olmadık. Girdiğimiz her toprak vatanımızdır dedik. 1 aldıysak 5 verdik. Osmanlılarda türk nüfus hep geri plana atılmıştır. Gayrimüslim ve diğer ırklar hep ön planda tutulup desteklendiği için. Biz ingilizler ispanyollar potekililer veya fransızlar gibi vahşice sömürgeleştrip köleleştiren bir devlet asla olmadık.
İslam Türkiye'nin ve Türklerin DNA sına işlemiştir ve bundan ayrılmak çok zordur. Türkiye'nin laikliği geçmişte yapılan devlet politikasının meyveleridir, eğitim de yapılacak olan din ağırlıklı değişikler Türkiye'nin 100 yıllık laik birikimini anında yok edebilir çünkü Türkler aslında dine meyillidirler.
Correct! It doesn’t mean a country is to be considered as a Islamic state that is led by a leader who has a faith of Islam…that is the beauty of democracy! It can change in the next election similarly happened in 2003
Professor James. First of all it’s not Turkey. It’s called TURKIYE and they have steel balls. Turkiye is already big power right after Usa, Russia . 6-7 years later they will be Superpower just like USA and Russia with the pace they are going with their AI Drone technology , Missile technology and their beliefs
That’s a very bold statement with zero base. Let me give you an example on how to become a super power; China has lifted 850 million of its citizens out of extreme poverty in less than thirty years. That’s I call super power and respect. Your guy is all talk ( mostly nonsense)

As a Turkish and living board, my opinion is Türkiye will come to a military powerhouse in the next 5 to 10 years for sure. They will be ahead of many European countries. So, questions are what will Türkiye do with all that power ? The answer is pretty simple, play the Muslim leadership as a military arm sales to Muslim countries and African nations, including South America and countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, to support them as strong Muslim nations. They can't get the arms and advanced military equipment and air defense systems from the west. Now Türkiye will do happily and maintain a counterbalance between the good ,bad, and ugly 😅 but Türkiye will NOT play a religious role power. especially our Central Asian Turkic brothers won't like it to. We will let everyone free will religion practice, but full support to our religious way of life at the same time sounds complicated, but in the end, Islam and Türk can't be separated this is the way our grandfather's has excepted and will be remain forever.
@farsheedyas697 can you list if your items that, European countries or America helping the Türk's ? I bet you can't. Like Americans say, let's stop the NATO donations to Türk's, but they don't even know NATO or US don't even help or donate anything for the Türk's, except that they are trying to make sure to blockade the Türk's many different ways. Results for the Türk's nothing can stop them, including the tough economic situation or ambargo. They will succeed .our mindset is different than yours or others for us it's not about money it's for the prides our engineers and technicians can work endlessly to complete their tasks without money in their minds. May Allah bless our engineers and technicians who dedicated their lives to these projects and their be loving country Türkiye.
Arabs brought West's intervention into Middle East,especially British, due to warring tribes, the result is constant turmoil in the region. Muslims all over the world are also wary of Arab Regimes who are totally under Western influence when massacres are happening in Gaza. Turkey has suffered lots of interference from the West,even ostracised for being a Muslim Nation.What choice Islamic countries have from the animosity of the West,the only choice left is to emerge independent from the chains of the West slowly n steadly,if they can. Who can forget Islamphobia, of which ordinary Muslims are suffering on daily basis? Now, West calls itself Followers of Christianity, When Jesus never preached violence against Humanity. Western Wars have killed millions, destroyed countries in the name of Imperialism, so much blood shed from past to present. How much countries.will put up with,time appears to be over with 'shut up'.....
Türkiye cannot remain loyal to one group. Because Türkiye is a leading country that has knowledge and power and makes its own decisions. In addition, countries such as Arabia were safe during the Ottoman period and now it has become a country afraid of the West. There is a lot missing in the video, it is a country at the peak of technology, Turkish people used to see technology in movies in the past.
@@VladTevezI attended a really interesting conference last year where commentators argued that tenoning was now in such problems that businesses were really struggling to manage, despite being masters at handling uncertainty. The key arguments was that Erdogan really needed to find a path to proper economic management and abandon some of his more controversial ideas.
It's not that he can't be loyal he loyal to Turkiye. We learnt our lessons during the 1st world War and later our relationships with western countries.
I read with great pleasure and yet with disappointment the sincere and trust-filled comments written by Muslims from various countries about Turkey. As someone who shares the same values, lives in Turkey, and has close ties to this country's past, I must say that we have many leaders who act as if Turkey were the backyard of Israel, and they are seriously altering the spiritual and intellectual fabric of society for the future. A new generation has emerged, one that denies-or has already begun to deny-its cultural and religious values. There is a saying from a scholar who was raised on these lands, spoken about 70-80 years ago: "Turkey is pregnant with Europe, and Europe is pregnant with Islam."
What a great analysis. I always believed that Islamic word is divided between three power. Saudi Arabia due to it being home of Islamic places of worship. Pakistan because of it being the only Islamic nuclear state. And Turkey because of its overall military and historical power stemming from it being hone to Khalifa etc.
Lol. Pakistan is at the edge of the Islam world, it should be Iran(represent the shia), saudia(represents the Sunni branch) , Turkey (also Sunni brnach but got tie to the ottoman)
Turkey's role in various geographies like Cyprus, Karabakh, Libya, N.Syria might be followed by a greater Eurasian project involving the Turkic/Sunni muslim populations of declining Russia. Turkiye is eager to reach out to Russia's mentioned minorities and already began supplementing Russian influence in states like Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan
Not to forget it's brotherly ties with Azerbaijan which is going to be an interesting card to play in South Azerbaijan, making Iran pay the debt for her support of Armenia
@@Houthiandtheblowfish Iran's demography is very fragile with regional minorities like South Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Ahwaz Arabs, Balochistan,... Turkiye and Azerbaijan would easily turn Iran into a 2nd Yugoslavia
I call out to my Muslim brothers who listen to this man, know well how comfortable he is with the strengthening of Turkey and the unity of Muslims, such people who are enemies of Muslims.
There is one more thing you have forgotten: Türkiye is a world-class country in the High Technology, Space Industry, Defense Industry, Naval Aviation and Automotive industry. It also operates worldwide in Textile, Food Production, Construction and Infrastructure organizations and businesses. Türkiye is one of the countries with the highest Purchasing Parity and has a size of approximately 3.5 Trillion dollars. It will also be one of the world's 8th or 10th economies in the 2030s. It will be one of the top 5 economies in 2048.
3:37 this map does not show the biggest borders of Ottoman Empire. The biggest borders contains %40 of Africa, all the Arabian Peninsula, Poland (as vassal), European lands until Poland, Ukraine and Russia until almost Moscow. 10:06 Also Turkish military is much stronger than Saudi Arabia's military. We have 8th strongest military in the world but they have 23th military.
There’s been a lot of talk about Erdogan’s efforts to make Turkey a leader of the Islamic world. In some ways, it has achieved a lot. But there are also a lot of obstacles. So, what do you think? Could it ever become a Muslim superpower? As ever, let me know your thoughts below.
Absolutely not. It could at best become an influential local power among Turkic peoples, such as the Azeri and the Kazakh. The Muslims are much more fragmented and mutually suspicious among themselves than most people imagine, quite something similar to the 16-17th centuries in Europe when Christians were at war with each other. In a hypothetical future with no global warming, it might have become a huge power when they are secularized again. But we have global warming, so probably never.

And i think that Pakistani and both Indian people alike should not be hating each other as both countries are comprised of similar faiths and ethnicities and instead should focus on preventing hatred amongst the two and prevent any persecution of religion both in Pakistan (persecution of Ahmadis, Hindus, sometimes Christians, forced religion conversions, Extremism) and in India (persecution of Islam and Muslims in general, glorifying Hindu crimes against Muslims (mostly BJP does that) and hatred against Sikhs (Indira Gandhi, Khalistan, Murder of a Canadian Citizen by RAW, Closure of gurdwarahs) ). My point being both Pakistan and India's general population accept extremism and nationalism as a valid thing when that should be and could be removed as a good thing instead.
If the past is the best predictor of the future, Turkey has a long track record of being the most capable Muslim nation to lead the Muslim world once again. Arab nations should stop restricting Turkish influence and allow them to assume the post of leader of the Muslim world

As regards Syria, turkey may have broken with the government of Syria, but not necessarily with the people. I don’t think turkey hopes to be the leader of some sort of Arab or Muslim alliance, they hope to a preeminent voice in the Arab street. I believe they’re already accomplishing this. Turkey has shown itself, regardless of its motives, to be one of the few NATO members upholding international law and acting against Israel. The United States has abdicated such a role. The United States tried and failed to court Arab governments, Turkey tries, and is succeeding in courting the muslim street.

As a Turk, I'd rather see my country as the leader of Turkic world then the Islamic world. Ottomans tried to unite Muslim world but get backstabbed by 1916 Arab revolt(British-backed). Then what did the Brits do? Gave a piece of land to Israel and installed bunch of monarchies across Arab world. Today, what we see is undemocratic dictatorship-like Arab states which are run by certain families. By the way; to whom that think Ottoman rule was a colonial-like, this is absolute nonsense. Ottomans didn't change their language to Turkish, didn't force them to copy their own religious belief. Etc so; what kind of colonization is that?...

The perception of Turkiye in the world is that it is a strong country in terms of military. It has developed a lot, especially in the last 20 years, by making a revolution in the field of defense industry. According to the report of the US-based organization CNAS, Turkiye has become the world's largest UAV-UCAV supplier with its successful performance in recent years. Its market share in the world is 65%. Its geopolitical position is quite important. Turkish TV series are also among the most watched TV series in the world. Despite all these advantages, Turkiye is a country whose economy is perceived as weak. Inflation has increased a lot due to incorrectly implemented economic policies. Despite this, its economy is diverse, developed and has a large manufacturing industry, and its tourism sector is good. It is one of the world's largest tourist destinations. It is ranked 1st in Europe and 10th in the world in agricultural production. It is the 11th largest economy in the world according to purchasing power. Turkiye's political, economic and military influence on the world has increased in the last 20 years. It seems to increase even more in the coming years.
But unfortunately TURKIYE is not ISLAMIC CUNTRY
Turkey is next to Europe and in Europe, it can learn easily from other European nations , had Ottoman empire too but ask you self why it is poor and developing nation compared to Europe and no single contribution to science or technology in past 500 years , small Korea is by far better developed. Turkey issue is it takes religion seriously which always drags growth and critical thinking , still you argue as if it is making progress , it is not.
@@islammehmeov2334 It is not and it won't be in the future. Because the reason behind the superiority of Turkiye among the Islamic States derives from its faith in positive sciences, democracy and secularism. Islamic states (not Islam) clearly suspends freedom of speech, query and criticism and without these a nation cannot reach the technological advancements of the west. Islam is the belief of people in Turkiye and that belief is between the creator Allah (the almighty) and the believers. It has nothing to do with the state itself. Turkiye treats equally to all religions and to the atheists. However, this policy doesn't mean that Turkiye support the west more than the ummah. Turkiye is by far the most helping country to the Muslim world. Some people criticize Turkiye for just talking and doing nothing to Israel. I want to ask a clear question to the people of the Muslim world. If Turkiye attacks Israel, they will all attack Turkiye including the US and the UK. Who will support us from those Arab states? The answer is none. Why should we do this? Salahaddin saved Jerusalem having the entire Muslim world behind him united. Non-Arab muslims are supporting us and I want to thank them. Together we stand, divided we fall.

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Roman Empire.

The public opinion of Turkey in Bangladesh is remarkably positive. There's an invisible bond between Muslim states that make them more likely to be in favorable standing with each other, and Turkey's recent Islamic gestures have improved their reputation immensely. Especially in all sunni non arab states, they are seen as the leader of Islam, now that they are somewhat stepping up.
Yet, there's no ummah emerging anytime soon. We might like Turkey enough to trade or align with them, but we're not planning anytime soon to give them our sovereignty or make them dictate our foreign or economic policy. It's the same for all other nations I believe.

Great rundown of Turkeys complicated past and future goals. It's quite interesting to see how Turkey has been split between east and west for much of it's history, going back and forth and oftentimes trying to do both at the same time

Turkey has more influence in the East than the West as of now mostly in Muslim countries in Africa and Asia.
The geological place in the world does a lot to a country.

And on top of that, a terrorist group that was founded and fed by the usa to keep us busy. Our south is filled with wars and innocent millions seeking refuge and looking up to us for help. Our north is filled with war now as well. We have to walk like an acrobat walking on a line up high. We have to keep our balance between north, south, east and west to be able to stay away from all these wars around us.

Dear people, I would like to share a few facts about the Turks. Please forgive me for taking up your time. First and foremost, the Turks are unlike any other nation. Throughout history, they have been hardworking, compassionate, always standing by the oppressed, and striving to advance in science and technology. The greatest examples of these qualities are our leaders, Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. As the Turkish nation, we have never had the aim of occupying a country, causing them pain, or creating chaos. In general, we are a nation that stands by the oppressed, just as we have done for years. Please do not compare us to Arabs or associate us with them simply because we share the Muslim faith, as the Turkish people are of a different ethnicity and are a nation that works for the peaceful coexistence of the entire world. Unlike other countries, of course, due to our geographical position, we perceive those who are envious of us and have ambitions on our land as threats and take necessary precautions accordingly. However, I must make it clear that as long as no bullet is fired at us, we will never declare war on any state or country. To quote our great leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk: "Peace at Home, Peace in the World." Thank you for listening. If you have any questions or uncertainties about Turkey, please research Turkey and the Turkish people from unbiased media sources. Stay with love and in good health.
Allahu Akbar
your timing is neat.. well done
A good brief historical summary and current affairs update.
Thank you very much!
As Mr. James, the Ottoman Empire never colonized Arab countries. If it did, we would be happy if you could tell us if there is any documentation. If the Ottoman Empire was not a colonial state, I ask you to indicate this in our other videos.I respect your point of view.
I don't believe that most Muslim countries view Turkey as a leader, and the concept of neo-Ottomanism is not welcomed in North Africa or the Middle East. In Algeria, we have never forgotten the betrayal by the Ottomans when we were attacked by France. Nor have we forgotten Turkey siding with France against us and voting against Algeria’s independence in an effort to appease the West.
Turkey, being a NATO member, is also occupying land illegally in northern Iraq and Syria. While some countries in Asia may be influenced by Turkish TV shows and are more open to Turkey, nations in North Africa and the Middle East are well aware of the Turkish mindset.
It's not that I hate Turkey-I see them as fellow Muslims, just like us-but I believe it’s best for everyone to stay in their own place. We’ve also seen how tourists from the Middle East are often treated poorly by Turks in Turkey.
And don't forget Turkey Saudi Arabia Egypt Jordan UAE Bahrain are members of same club serving Israel and Western Interests.
I really respect your thoughtful approach. You’ve made it clear how important history is in shaping current perceptions and interactions, and that’s something we should all keep in mind.
I really appreciate your thoughtful response. The way history affects current dynamics is something that often gets overlooked, and your perspective highlights that well.
I really appreciate how you’ve highlighted the historical context in your response. It’s true that history shapes how different regions perceive each other.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s so important to consider the historical context when discussing modern relationships, and you’ve highlighted that really well.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and nuanced comment. You’re right that past events can shape current relations, and that’s something we should all consider.
Salam alaykum from Türkiye. I love all of the Islamic ummah. You are our brothers and sisters. I hope we will build a Islamic union in the future. All of countries and nations are equal. We need a mutual organisation. Like NATO or EU.
But the Arabs are failed. Their language, culture are similar. Their Arab league or United Arab Union ( I don't remember it's proper name ,but it founded by Egyptian Gamal Abdul Nasser in the base of " Arab nationalism" . Other non-arab country has different language, culture, lifestyle how can we do that?
As a Turk 🇹🇷, my opinion about the video: There are some incomplete explanations in the video. Türkiye has the most advanced defense industry among Muslim countries. Türkiye's defense exports are mostly to Muslim countries in Asia and Africa. This even includes Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and UAE 🇦🇪. Türkiye sells not only advanced drones but also warships with the latest technology. There are many issues in the Turkish-Egyptian normalization, but the main issue for the Egyptian 🇪🇬 side is to have a new ally that can ensure its security against Israel 🇮🇱. Israel has overwhelming air superiority over Egypt with fighter jets such as the F-35. For this reason, it will not be a surprise if Egypt procures the 5th generation KAAN from Türkiye. Coming to the main topic of the video, as a Turk, I do not think that Türkiye aims to be the sole leader of the Islamic World. Türkiye's aim is to see Muslim countries on Türkiye's side in a possible crisis with the West in Greece, the Eastern Mediterranean and North-East Syria. I think if we look at it from this perspective, we can make a more accurate analysis.

Turkiye not trying to lead the Islamic world only, they aiming to be super power
You forgot to mention all former Soviet states are ethnic Turks and they see Turkiye as a their leader.
But is also seems like you missed the point of the video/
1. This was focused on Türkiye attempt to be leader of the Muslim world..does not mean it also isn’t trying to be a super power.
2. The central Asian Turk nations are fearful of Russia which is hurting their relations with Turkey. even if its full positive it’s being held back as a result of Erdogans somewhat support for Russia.
All former Soviet states, what do you mean Ukraine Belarus others that are not Turks
I agree with you. I don’t see trying to be the Islamic leader or revive the Ottoman empire as a goal of Turkey. Maybe it looks like that from the outside and I think a lot of these countries in the Balkans and Middle East are willing to cooperate with Turkey, but I see the main goal of the Turkish leadership is just to have a bigger say in world affairs and make Turkey more prosperous and influential by whatever way they can.
Turkey also seems like a country that will take the opportunity and risks to build relationships with many countries. For example, since the early 2000’s the Turkish presence in Africa has increased tremendously. Really this has nothing to
do with Islam or the legacy of Ottoman Empire or something, but just because they saw an opportunity there to profit. A lot of important projects and buildings in Africa were built by Turkey. I think after China and possibly the US, Turkey is the country which does the most construction there now when 20 years ago this was almost nothing.
The latter's reason being that they can't expect much social, economic and political reform from Russia or even China either. And they don't want the US to dominate them as in the Pacific, so they go with Turkey. But cultural ties play a role, too.
like Putin wants to restore his USSR days?

There is a proverb in Turkish: "Whatever the origin of a person is, so will his progeny." When you look at Turkey's past, you can see that there are grandchildren of Atilla, Seljuks and Ottomans. These are only 3 powerful Turkish states that I have listed. No matter how you look at it, Turks have a history of at least 2000 years. I'm not even counting the small ones that established 16 big states. Turkey's genetics have the ability to become a global power. This will happen, but it will not happen immediately, it will take at least another 50 years.
Turkey right now is in a position of being able to talk to everyone but not necessarily being a team player with anyone. Nothing shows this like their current role within NATO.

I recommend you to read history, especially last 300 years of Ottomans. Remember that your last sultan escaped to Europe on a British vessel. You know that, right?
@@ozoguls60O son 300 yıl neden kötü bunu araştırdın mı gerçekten? Jön Türkler, Tanzimat fermanları, İttihat terakki, Siyonizm baskısı. Bunlar sana neyi ifade ediyor? Osmanlıyı içeriden bu akımlar yıktı, cumhuriyeti kuranlar bunların torunlarıydı.
Naaa! No way Jose! Atatürk and his bravest army worked their ass off to establish this country. There’s no way going back! Not in this lifetime😊
As a Turkish and living board, my opinion is Türkiye will come to a military powerhouse in the next 5 to 10 years for sure. They will be ahead of many European countries. So, questions are what will Türkiye do with all that power ? The answer is pretty simple, play the Muslim leadership as a military arm sales to Muslim countries and African nations, including South America and countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, to support them as strong Muslim nations. They can't get the arms and advanced military equipment and air defense systems from the west. Now Türkiye will do happily and maintain a counterbalance between the good ,bad, and ugly 😅 but Türkiye will NOT play a religious role power. especially our Central Asian Turkic brothers won't like it to. We will let everyone free will religion practice, but full support to our religious way of life at the same time sounds complicated, but in the end, Islam and Türk can't be separated this is the way our grandfather's has excepted and will be remain forever.
Totally agree brother
Well done! God bless you and your family.
Dreaming on😂😂. Turkiye without the help of western countries wouldn't last a week
Looking at your economic stats it will be a very tough goal to achieve.
@farsheedyas697 can you list if your items that, European countries or America helping the Türk's ? I bet you can't.
Like Americans say, let's stop the NATO donations to Türk's, but they don't even know NATO or US don't even help or donate anything for the Türk's, except that they are trying to make sure to blockade the Türk's many different ways. Results for the Türk's nothing can stop them, including the tough economic situation or ambargo. They will succeed .our mindset is different than yours or others for us it's not about money it's for the prides our engineers and technicians can work endlessly to complete their tasks without money in their minds. May Allah bless our engineers and technicians who dedicated their lives to these projects and their be loving country Türkiye.
very interesting analysis. love it
Love Türkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Arabs brought West's intervention into Middle East,especially British, due to warring tribes, the result is constant turmoil in the region.
Muslims all over the world are also wary of Arab Regimes who are totally under Western influence when massacres are happening in Gaza.
Turkey has suffered lots of interference from the West,even ostracised for being a Muslim Nation.What choice Islamic countries have from the animosity of the West,the only choice left is to emerge independent from the chains of the West slowly n steadly,if they can.
Who can forget Islamphobia, of which ordinary Muslims are suffering on daily basis?
Now, West calls itself Followers of Christianity, When Jesus never preached violence against Humanity.
Western Wars have killed millions, destroyed countries in the name of Imperialism, so much blood shed from past to present.
How much countries.will put up with,time appears to be over with 'shut up'.....
Türkiye is trying to find its new position in a changing global order.
Türkiye cannot remain loyal to one group. Because Türkiye is a leading country that has knowledge and power and makes its own decisions. In addition, countries such as Arabia were safe during the Ottoman period and now it has become a country afraid of the West. There is a lot missing in the video, it is a country at the peak of technology, Turkish people used to see technology in movies in the past.
Their investments in military industrial complex and other related industries are increasing projects
Waiting for the comment section 🍿
Thanks. I’m looking forward to hearing views on this.
@@JamesKerLindsay I believe Turkey's immediate aim is to be self-reliant in industry and high-tech, and replace, to an extent, China as a manufacturer
@@VladTevezI attended a really interesting conference last year where commentators argued that tenoning was now in such problems that businesses were really struggling to manage, despite being masters at handling uncertainty. The key arguments was that Erdogan really needed to find a path to proper economic management and abandon some of his more controversial ideas.
@@JamesKerLindsay I want to add that I don't remember in the past so many Turkish Cypriots coming to Protaras to buy goods and HORECA services
@@JamesKerLindsay That returned us like as new taxes.....
Great analysis!
Thank you so much.
No. Türkiye is not and has never been an islamic power. Türkiye is a secular state and will remain so.
It's not that he can't be loyal he loyal to Turkiye. We learnt our lessons during the 1st world War and later our relationships with western countries.
Being a Turk is hard, you fight with the world. Not being a Turk is harder because you fight with the Turks.
Another great analysis. Thanks
Thanks so much!
turkey has a bigger gdp than saudi.
I read with great pleasure and yet with disappointment the sincere and trust-filled comments written by Muslims from various countries about Turkey. As someone who shares the same values, lives in Turkey, and has close ties to this country's past, I must say that we have many leaders who act as if Turkey were the backyard of Israel, and they are seriously altering the spiritual and intellectual fabric of society for the future. A new generation has emerged, one that denies-or has already begun to deny-its cultural and religious values. There is a saying from a scholar who was raised on these lands, spoken about 70-80 years ago: "Turkey is pregnant with Europe, and Europe is pregnant with Islam."
The world need Muslim hands to make peace and justice
@abdurrahmanHarbi-cy8hy - Which solar system are you living in?
@@ozoguls60 is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,or one who walks evenly on a straight way ?
Turkey and the Hanafi School of Islam did save Islam from fanatic hypocrites.
And now Turkey is slowly moving to or embracing fanatics
Wonderful summary!
What a great analysis. I always believed that Islamic word is divided between three power. Saudi Arabia due to it being home of Islamic places of worship. Pakistan because of it being the only Islamic nuclear state. And Turkey because of its overall military and historical power stemming from it being hone to Khalifa etc.
Does Pakistan have influence in any country other than Pakistan and Afghanistan?
@@Leiwanderer True true, now they have even lost Afghanistan
Lol. Pakistan is at the edge of the Islam world, it should be Iran(represent the shia), saudia(represents the Sunni branch) , Turkey (also Sunni brnach but got tie to the ottoman)
It's Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey. More oil rich Arab players like Qatar and UAE are also making inroads
@@Leiwandererit doesn’t has to the nuclear talks for itself.
Turkey's role in various geographies like Cyprus, Karabakh, Libya, N.Syria might be followed by a greater Eurasian project involving the Turkic/Sunni muslim populations of declining Russia. Turkiye is eager to reach out to Russia's mentioned minorities and already began supplementing Russian influence in states like Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan
turkiye can dream well i can tell you that unti you end nato ocupation we can talk
Not to forget it's brotherly ties with Azerbaijan which is going to be an interesting card to play in South Azerbaijan, making Iran pay the debt for her support of Armenia

I call out to my Muslim brothers who listen to this man, know well how comfortable he is with the strengthening of Turkey and the unity of Muslims, such people who are enemies of Muslims.
History Legends did a great video about 6 months ago detailing Turkeys recent military adventures. Eye opening.
Alex from HL does battlefield details good.
There is one more thing you have forgotten: Türkiye is a world-class country in the High Technology, Space Industry, Defense Industry, Naval Aviation and Automotive industry. It also operates worldwide in Textile, Food Production, Construction and Infrastructure organizations and businesses. Türkiye is one of the countries with the highest Purchasing Parity and has a size of approximately 3.5 Trillion dollars. It will also be one of the world's 8th or 10th economies in the 2030s. It will be one of the top 5 economies in 2048.
3:37 this map does not show the biggest borders of Ottoman Empire. The biggest borders contains %40 of Africa, all the Arabian Peninsula, Poland (as vassal), European lands until Poland, Ukraine and Russia until almost Moscow.
10:06 Also Turkish military is much stronger than Saudi Arabia's military. We have 8th strongest military in the world but they have 23th military.
