Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri: “Message to the Muslim Turkish People”
Written by Administrator
In an audiotape titled “Message to the Muslim Turkish People”, produced by As-Sahab and released on August 15, 2010, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri said that “Change will come if the Turks decided to demand their government stop cooperating with Israel and recognizing it, and stop sending its forces to kill Muslims in Afghanistan, and stop fighting Islam and its Sharia. The Turkish people must hold the responsibility of its government’s continued recognition of those who invaded Palestine and persistence in participating with the Crusaders in killing Muslims in Afghanistan. The Turkish people must regain the glorious role that the Ottoman State carried out in defense of the Muslim homelands in general and Palestine in particular.” He argued that “The role of the Muslim Turkish people in defending Islam and Muslims cannot diminish to simply sending a ship or a number of ships to aid Gaza.” And he reminded the Turks that “The Ottoman Turks used to be the mujahideen against every greedy and aggressor, and they weren’t only donors of a few tons of aid.”
