Quote

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

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

To be able to become free, a person must first see that he is not free. To be saved from servitude to other servants, he must become aware of the servitude he is performing.

Yasin Aktay · The hands that opened and wrote the "Red Gate" of freedom

Undoubtedly Akif too made mistakes, but even dwelling on these mistakes has qualities valuable enough to hold up a mirror to ourselves.

Yasin Aktay · The last hearth smoking over my homeland, before it goes out!

Islam condemns people's boasting of superiority over one another on account of characteristics they were born with, that is, to which they contributed nothing.

Yasin Aktay · Muslims have their own solutions to racism; they see racism not as a right but as a deviation

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

Many signs have appeared that we are on the threshold of a new global order.

Yasin Aktay · Turkey on the threshold of a new global order: a rising power in multi-layered crises

The East was not discovered by the West; it was rather invented, even fabricated.

Yasin Aktay · Rethinking Occidentalism from the perspective of decolonization at Siirt University: overcoming the West or being imprisoned by it?

Throughout history epidemics in particular have killed more people than wars, but they have not been remembered as much as wars.

Yasin Aktay · What will we remember and what will we forget?

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?

Even if states can do nothing, the peoples and consciences of the world cannot accept what is happening and want to do something.

Yasin Aktay · Rising anger and the Global Sumud Flotilla

If the reward of democratic politics is prison, why should people choose democratic ways?

Yasin Aktay · Never having enough of punishing Ghannouchi!
