it is imp to remember that this is not about religion and the ethnic cleansing of artsakh proves this. all oppressive regimes are connected regardless of religion and that is why azerbaijan and israel have good relations. another example is saudi arabia having good relations with america and israel while also killing other muslims in yemen.

interestingly, like israel, saudi also uses religion to gain credibility (recently got holy mosque imam to give statement condemning boycotts and encouraging muslims to not be involved in the situation in palestine) and recruit muslim supporters from all over the world, while simultaneously killing/imprisoning muslim critics of the kingdom.

similarly, israel sells itself as a safe haven for jews and convinces jews around the world to migrate to israel while also simultaneously criminalizing antizionist jews all over the world, even suggesting that theyre not 'real jews' (reminiscent of takfirism which is a core part of saudi wahabi ideology) [ fun fact: the house of saud came into power in arabia with help from the british, just like the zionists in palestine! ]

oppressive regimes are directly connected and mirror each other in several ways. this is why liberation and resistance movements need to unite and work together across the world

#as long as u sell ur soul for capitalist profits and empire you will get the support of other colonialist and imperialist countries #regardless of religion #this is also a ksa hate acc btw lol fuck the saudis they should be deposed asap #there is no place for a king in any muslim state #the saudi kingdom has been illegitimate from the very beginning #free palestine #palestine #artsakh #armenian genocide is another example of a musslim ottoman empire committing a enocide against a christian minority #another thing that proves that religion doesnt matter in oppression: the muslim turkish state's treatement of the muslim kurdish minority #look it up!!! #and since all oppressive regimes r connected in one way or another - turkey also has relations with israel #gaza #death to israel #death to america #free kurdistan #uyghurs #kurds #armenians #free kashmir #india's treatment of kashmir and link that to india's support for israel #china may be somewhat opposed to israel or america but that does not absolve china's ethnic cleansing of uyghurs #east turkistan #east turkistan independence day is today btw!!

Some thought Roxelana used seductive powers, even potions, to induce the love Suleyman appeared to bear her. They called her witch. — Leslie Peirce, Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire

i need leftists to cope with their post 9/11 + Iraq/Afghan wars Islamophobia guilt in a way that doesn’t involve erasing the fact that, like it or not, Islam is a proselytizing religion that has fueled centuries of colonization, genocide, and imperialism. idealizing Islam as a purer, better alternative to Christianity is in itself Islamophobic, and it also ignores the many communities who have suffered at the hands of Islamic imperialism. it is possible to not be Islamophobic while acknowledging that.

#tonight on posts i might get cancelled for #i’m just so tired of people pretending that Islamization wasn’t destructive #and that Jews living under Muslim rule didn’t suffer #part of my family is Turkish #lived there during Ottoman rule #it wasn’t a good time! #and then there’s the Spanish Inquisition which. i simply cannot get started on rn #point is framing Islam as an uwu peace and love religion with no history of violence and conquest is wrong and orientalist!

Magnificent Century is wonderful and hilarious and worrying.

I kid you not, as a result of a Political Geography assignment, my WHOLE FAMILY is now watching this show together.

And I am quite worried about it, because we're enjoying it A LOT for a lot of... different reasons, but also the comments on YT and what people seem to be learning/getting from it make me fear this getting popular was a terrible mistake.

Expect extensive blogging about it.

Especially since the ease of finding related tags makes me think I've come to the right place for it.

my oc, kaya! I have no idea how his glasses stay on his nose

#my art #he is turkish! from my fantasy ottoman empire #you cannot see it but he wears a fez on top of his turban LOL #for some reason i imagine his voice to be much like morrissey's. maybe because he looks smug and like he would have bad opinions #absolutely awful but what pipes! #he's one of my ocs who has gone through the least changes. this is the first design i whipped up for him and i still use it #ALTHOUGH he's had the most iterations as my story for these characters have changed #there are many many many proto-kayas

“The crucial role played by a prince’s mother before he ascended the throne was translated into a more institutionally secure and publicly visible role when the prince became sultan and his mother valide sultan. The valide sultan continued to carry on her roles as tutor and protector of her son...The valide sultan continued to instruct the sultan as she had the prince.”—The Imperial Harem Women And Sovereignty In The Ottoman Empire, Leslie P. Peirce

Things I Didn't Know I Loved // Nazim Hikmet

it’s 1962 March 28th I’m sitting by the window on the Prague-Berlin train night is falling I never knew I liked night descending like a tired bird on a smoky wet plain I don’t like comparing nightfall to a tired bird

I didn’t know I loved the earth can someone who hasn’t worked the earth love it I’ve never worked the earth it must be my only Platonic love

and here I’ve loved rivers all this time whether motionless like this they curl skirting the hills European hills crowned with chateaus or whether stretched out flat as far as the eye can see I know you can’t wash in the same river even once I know the river will bring new lights you'll never see I know we live slightly longer than a horse but not nearly as long as a crow I know this has troubled people before                          and will trouble those after me I know all this has been said a thousand times before                          and will be said after me

I didn’t know I loved the sky cloudy or clear the blue vault Andrei studied on his back at Borodino in prison I translated both volumes of War and Peace into Turkish I hear voices not from the blue vault but from the yard the guards are beating someone again I didn’t know I loved trees bare beeches near Moscow in Peredelkino they come upon me in winter noble and modest beeches are Russian the way poplars are Turkish “the poplars of Izmir losing their leaves. . . they call me The Knife. . .                          lover like a young tree. . . I blow stately mansions sky-high” in the Ilgaz woods in 1920 I tied an embroidered linen handkerchief                                         to a pine bough for luck

I never knew I loved roads even the asphalt kind Vera's behind the wheel we're driving from Moscow to the Crimea                                                           Koktebele                                formerly “Goktepé ili” in Turkish the two of us inside a closed box the world flows past on both sides distant and mute I was never so close to anyone in my life bandits stopped me on the red road between Bolu and Geredé                                         when I was eighteen apart from my life I didn’t have anything in the wagon they could take and at eighteen our lives are what we value least I’ve written this somewhere before wading through a dark muddy street I'm going to the shadow play Ramazan night a paper lantern leading the way maybe nothing like this ever happened maybe I read it somewhere an eight-year-old boy                                        going to the shadow play Ramazan night in Istanbul holding his grandfather’s hand    his grandfather has on a fez and is wearing the fur coat       with a sable collar over his robe    and there’s a lantern in the servant’s hand    and I can’t contain myself for joy flowers come to mind for some reason poppies cactuses jonquils in the jonquil garden in Kadikoy Istanbul I kissed Marika fresh almonds on her breath I was seventeen my heart on a swing touched the sky I didn’t know I loved flowers friends sent me three red carnations in prison

I just remembered the stars I love them too whether I’m floored watching them from below or whether I'm flying at their side

I have some questions for the cosmonauts were the stars much bigger did they look like huge jewels on black velvet                              or apricots on orange did you feel proud to get closer to the stars I saw color photos of the cosmos in Ogonek magazine now don’t    be upset comrades but nonfigurative shall we say or abstract    well some of them looked just like such paintings which is to    say they were terribly figurative and concrete my heart was in my mouth looking at them they are our endless desire to grasp things seeing them I could even think of death and not feel at all sad I never knew I loved the cosmos

snow flashes in front of my eyes both heavy wet steady snow and the dry whirling kind I didn’t know I liked snow

I never knew I loved the sun even when setting cherry-red as now in Istanbul too it sometimes sets in postcard colors but you aren’t about to paint it that way I didn’t know I loved the sea                              except the Sea of Azov or how much

I didn’t know I loved clouds whether I’m under or up above them whether they look like giants or shaggy white beasts

moonlight the falsest the most languid the most petit-bourgeois strikes me I like it

I didn’t know I liked rain whether it falls like a fine net or splatters against the glass my    heart leaves me tangled up in a net or trapped inside a drop    and takes off for uncharted countries I didn’t know I loved    rain but why did I suddenly discover all these passions sitting    by the window on the Prague-Berlin train is it because I lit my sixth cigarette one alone could kill me is it because I’m half dead from thinking about someone back in Moscow her hair straw-blond eyelashes blue

the train plunges on through the pitch-black night I never knew I liked the night pitch-black sparks fly from the engine I didn’t know I loved sparks I didn’t know I loved so many things and I had to wait until sixty    to find it out sitting by the window on the Prague-Berlin train    watching the world disappear as if on a journey of no return

                                                     19 April 1962                                                      Moscow
