For you the ways of the Abu Jahls, for Sümeyye the station of Umm Ammar…

The only problem of politics in Turkey is not the intrigues of the circles of tutelage and the attempts aimed at annulling the political sphere. We are living through striking events that make one feel that politics also has a further dimension, a matter of standard. Politics is a human business. It has a dimension that makes a human being human. Undoubtedly, when it is not perceived and lived correctly, it also has a path that leads a human being downward. When you stray onto this path, you leave both politics and humanity. From that moment on you are left with no idea worth mentioning. Because you no longer have any presence worth mentioning either.

Last week we saw, in an instructive way, what kind of assassination CHP deputy Mahmut Tanal, and those who keep advancing without pause along the path he has shown, can plot against politics and therefore against humanity. Even analyzing the baseness displayed toward Sümeyye Erdoğan, who by her bearing, her life and her very being is an embodiment of dignity, decorum and honor, is disgrace enough.

When one looks at where the reports about Ms. Sümeyye, invented with the complete cunning of an Abu Jahl and put into circulation with their filthy tongues, originated, and through which gossip paper's dark imagination they passed, the alliance of evil that emerges is, somehow, not surprising at all. The fixture of all the alliances of evil of recent times is Pennsylvania.

In their minds, which a crow would have more of, they would be granting their invented reports a transit visa by submitting a parliamentary question to the Interior Minister asking whether the Lazika Islamic Emirate has any activity in Turkey.

In fact, what has happened resembles the approach Bauman and Lyon call Liquid Surveillance. The two thinkers argued that the existence of social media depends on private information being "sold" to other users, that this creates a mechanism of surveillance over social media users, which Bentham, had he been alive, would have called a panopticon, and that this surveillance mechanism causes individuals to become indifferent and unfeeling toward private life. Both thinkers argued that social media offers a number of possibilities in terms of "resistance," but that because of the "liquid surveillance" it creates and the concern for private life it destroys, it harbors a threat rather than an opportunity. That people like Mahmut Tanal and Orhan Engin try to carry out this dirty vulgarity by means of social media stems from their inability to say no to the "attractive" offers of the "liquid surveillance" that social media creates. Because social media promises them a boundless field, containing no moral limit, in which to accomplish what they aim at without the addressee being there.

This disgusting attack on Ms. Sümeyye also reveals the moral codes of the mindset that regards issues such as women's rights, positive discrimination for women, and equality between men and women in Turkey as if they were its monopoly, and builds its discourse on this hierarchical view. It is evident that what they understand by "woman" is only those who fit their own definitions; this fascist, hate-laden approach has this much of a limit and a principle, and no more.

The developments have shown that the sentences, promises and token reactions that the CHP, HDP and MHP construct on women's rights are not realistic, moral or principled.

That those who, from a sentence Bülent Arınç said on one occasion and in a thoroughly courteous manner, produced pages of literature of attack on women's rights and of the degrading of women, have fallen silent in the face of this ugly attack, also lays bare the dimensions of the double standard, their ethics of thought and their personal ethics.

Tanal's attitude, which shows his view of a certain segment and his approach to their dignity, cannot be brushed aside with the sentences "it was an adviser's mistake, we corrected it."

The even more scandalous side of the matter is that the person who voiced such an ugly and base discourse toward a lady is a member of the Human Rights Monitoring Committee. While in even the most primitive form of human communities those who violate that community's basic laws are removed from those communities or subjected to certain sanctions, the protective attitude in the CHP toward a person who violated one of the basic laws of this society shows that the character assassination being attempted is not an individual initiative but an institutional project.

This is not an ordinary incident. There is a deliberate character assassination. Those who spread the slander that the AK Parti supports DAESH and is nourished by the same intellectual tradition are trying to reinforce this slander in the most disgusting, most base way.

Since there is no such thing as Turkey supporting DAESH, these arguments could not go beyond being slander. This so exasperated the parallel gang that, in order to create the perception that Turkey supports DAESH, they carried the matter as far as an attack on private life, or rather, as far as slandering people's honor. That they have fallen into this pit from the MİT trucks affair both refutes the claim that Turkey supports DAESH and shows the moral level of the parallel gang and its supporters.

Moreover, as the post made by the theater actor Orhan Engin on a social sharing site shows, there is a fascistic approach toward Islam and Islamic values. Although I cannot decide whether to laugh or to grieve at the ignorance of Orhan Engin and people like him, we can remind them that their behavior is a hate crime and that hate crime is regulated by laws.

However, the real source from which this hate crime was produced and put into circulation is the parallel structure, which for years promised the country a "golden generation" through the hizmet-himmet mechanism. We know that this structure's spying has made peeping into private life a way (a religion).

By coincidence, the name of the first Muslim woman whom Abu Jahl attacked with great rancor was also Sümeyye. That the parallel structure's hocaefendi has today taken his place, following in Abu Jahl's footsteps, against Sümeye Erdoğan, who bears clear traces of that first Sümeyye's dignity, decorum, morals, prostration and tawhid, is more than enough as a punishment from God.

The paths of the Abu Jahls suit them, and the dignity and ranks of Umm Ammar suit Sümeyye so well.
