Don't be fooled by what we say. The Western conscience is only for itself. Recently, it has become more evident with racial definitions. They already have claims of racial superiority from the past. Unfortunately, due to admiration for the West, some groups do not want to know or see these aspects of them.
 
It has been like this for centuries. An unchanging view. It's not just a Eurocentric view, it's an understanding of life. Mentally surrender.
 
The dilemma of Muslims is that they prefer an understanding of life in the context of economics or welfare. Idealism.
 
In the context of Westerners in general, the overview of those within the EU community in particular is racial and cultural centered. Turkey's request for EU membership has been on hold for more than sixty years. Good thing it's on hold. While all other European states are accepted, Turkey is not accepted despite all its struggles. There are many reasons for this. Why should they accept a nation whose people are Muslims and whose races are different?
 
As we look from here, the trauma of the endless wars on the Middle East, the human drama has never been seen. The massacres of people and their displacement from their homes did not bother them at all. Income sources were confiscated, some moves such as industrialization and development were prevented. The strange thing is that these obstacles are accompanied by local collaborators. Another problem is that they close their doors to people who have been displaced from their homes.
 
The dramas and deaths caused by each war and subsequent migrations did not bother them at all, and they did not move a hair.
 
There are interesting scenes in the Ukraine-Russia war. The conscience of the Westerners suddenly resurrected. It was as if they had a conscience. But this conscience is for those with yellow skin and their own race.
 
Basketball coach Zeljko Obradovic raises his voice with a conscientious appeal during the Ukraine war process.
 
A meaningful output:
 
"I do not want to make any comments on this subject. It's not the first time we've seen such things happen in life. I am sixty-two years old and I remember many things that happened. I don't remember people reacting and talking like this when my country was bombed in 1999. It was the same in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan… Did people talk back then? As a human being, of course, I am always against war. If even a person dies in battle, it's a terrible thing, that's obvious."
 
If these conscientious voices rise, it could be a move for humanity. However, suppressing such sounds is not difficult.
 
The logic of today, with the development of events, a noise is made somewhere, the facts and painful situations are covered up. There is a silence as if there is nothing there.
 
It is also valid for periods and formations within nations. At critical times, attention is diverted in the sense of not drawing attention to developing taunts.
 
This is the general situation in wars.
 
Another is that even the justification of wars is either mitigated or distorted by directing them to simple facts.
 
Will this war open the eyes of humanity?! A funny question isn't it?
 
The conscience of the Westerner is for himself and for himself. It's okay as long as their interests aren't touched. Or any situation that will not harm them is valid for them.
 
For now, humanity seems to come to mind. That's a bit of the heat of war. When the war is over and things settle down, they take on their old self.
 
Our call for humanity and our conscience are constant. Our conscience is our conscience.
