Quote

The helplessness shown by the Islamic world in the face of what is happening in Gaza is of course not a destiny.

Yasin Aktay · What excuse does the Islamic world have in El Fasher?

In trying to blockade Gaza, Israel found itself subjected to a blockade of conscience throughout the world.

Yasin Aktay · The Sumud flotilla has reached its goal; next is the Freedom Flotilla

The suffering of the oppressed is accepted; but the laughter of the oppressed is not tolerated.

Yasin Aktay · Ishmaelite lessons on the sacrifice

The fact that what has been done so far has not produced a final result of course does not mean that it has had no effect or benefit.

Yasin Aktay · Messages of the world's Islamic scholars from Hagia Sophia

One of the liveliest fields to which anyone who wants to understand the relationship between religion and society in Turkey must look is Ramadan.

Yasin Aktay · The sociology of a changing Turkey in the mirror of Ramadan

The universality of Islam is a moral call grounded in the ontological equality of human beings.

Yasin Aktay · Westernist universalism works by rendering its own historical locality invisible

A person can more easily give up his own life, but being tested through the one he loves is the hardest of trials.

Yasin Aktay · Satan is in torment indeed

When a war stops achieving its declared goals and begins to make them impossible, it ceases to be a strategic instrument and turns into an addiction.

Yasin Aktay · Is the war over, did Iran lose? Did Netanyahu lose?

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

Conflicts loaded with an existential and metaphysical meaning are harder to end.

Yasin Aktay · Israel's theological obsessions and the commentators who attach these obsessions to Israel and drag the world into catastrophe

The West is not the only different world, the only different civilization or form of society that Muslims have encountered.

Yasin Aktay · Have we now taken the knowledge and art of the West?
