The ummah that was never there

[kılıç_mehmet]

Even today, people in my country advocate a national unity between muslims.
However, this is a myth. There never was unity between any moslem nation.
Whenever unity arose, the Turks had been there to promote and protect it. However, the other moslems that we ruled over had no such wish.
The pride that the Arabs had due to being of the people of the Prophet, blinded them at each moment. However, the Arab is also very cunning at some points when he is required to be such.
As people who are unsuccessful at the arts of war, the Arab has made it a habit to call upon the Turk in times of great need, as it is now.
Turks, who are naive and devoted to their faith, answer this call, by forgetting all that happened in the past, and rush to the aid of those who he deems brothers.
But in all truth, the Arab only knows brotherhood between his own, and mostly, that is not even the case.

How can you expect brotherly relations with a people who cannot even fend for themselves? They could not fend off a tiny jewish nation that set up a country in their own lands, and I am expected to believe that there could be somewhat a unity between us Turks, and the Arab?

That's not to downplay all the other moslem nations, as the indian muslims have for the most part very supportive towards us in the past, however, they too, would probably not opt for a common state where they have no other relations with Turks besides a common shared history from some point on, and religion.
However, the neighboring moslem nations that are not of our stock have not been supportive of our work and out mission in the past, and are continuing to show their ill will through their works of deception.

One such case is Palestine. As you all probably know, the flotilla incident marked a turning point between Turkish-Israeli relations.
Not to say that the relations have been that great, but it seemingly, but seemingly, got worse, at least in how it was presented in the media.
This, however, is not really my concern, as I am not really looking for stronger ties, bonds and relations with Israel or the jewish people around the world, but what really concerns me is that this helped spreading the misnomer that we Turks and the Arabs have been in strong relations with eachother, as to send a suicide squad to help them. This is not true, especially for the case of palestinian arabs.
The palestinian intifada is a successful insurgency movement. They, and the IRA, have been in close contact, and have been training similar groups all around the world. This also extends itself to terrorist groups that operate within our territory, or in foreign territories, but striking Turkish nationals, interests and etc. ASALA and the PKK are the infamous examples where Palestinian guerillas have been known to train their militants to show their support. Also, the current West Bank Palestinian government has shown it's support to Greek Cypriot government, whereas, logically, they should be supporting us.
Indeed, it's never the case that we see any support from any other moslem nation besides other Turks.

Another case would be Iran. Now, I know that there are many people that support Iran in Turkey. I don't know why they would support a side in a battle that is not ours to begin with, however, some think that by supporting Iran, they are supporting anti-imperialism. This is not true. Iran is as imperialistic, and as vicious as any western country that preys upon weaker countries. In all, Iran also has supported militants and terrorists that operate in our borders, as "retaliation" for things that we were not supposed to do, like helping the Iraqis during the Iraq-Iran war. While I agree that we shouldn't have helped any side in this conflict, it should be made clear that I tolerate no nation that supports groups that go against us. Iran is also a prime example of how different moslem nations of different denominations behave towards eachother. In Iran, the Azerbaijani Turks are treated as they were dogs, and are called names, even though they are not even sunni. Iran too, claims to support moslems all around the world, yet they support the shia Hezbollah in Lebanon, in contrast to the sunnis, and they support the shia in Syria, whereas they do not support the sunni majority that lives there.

This is why I know for sure that the Ummah will not be there for us when some great disaster befalls us, or whenever we are waged war upon.
