Quote

Truly, no country can survive for long with such a paranoid view, seeing everyone as a potential enemy and attacking everyone it sees as a potential enemy.

Yasin Aktay · The greatest threat to Israel is Israel itself

A strong, charismatic and organic leadership is a great stroke of luck for a country.

Yasin Aktay · A reminder to the SDF: whoever invests in Israel is doomed to lose

Yasin Aktay · The Last Dictator

It is, of course, a sociological rule: attacks awaken group identity and nourish and reinforce the spirit of solidarity and asabiyya.

Yasin Aktay · Balfour and the abolition of the Caliphate, or the founding of Israel and the awakening of the idea of Islamic unity

Social engineering aims at one thing, but the projects actually carried out produce other and unwanted results.

Yasin Aktay · History repeats itself for the United States, which draws no lessons

Even when we recite the Surah al-Fatiha alone in our prayers, we address God not as "I" but as "we".

Yasin Aktay · Islamic unity in the context of Gaza and the caliphate remembered anew

Contrary to what is thought, economic difficulties do not reduce fertility; on the contrary, the groups whose fertility is declining are those whose level of welfare has risen even higher.

Yasin Aktay · Muslim men and Muslim women: old and new questions

Legitimacy is related not to the use of force but to being accepted.

Yasin Aktay · Will Israel be tried in Istanbul?
