Recently, on social media, there was a photo of the Syrian teenager who was scratching the wall with his hands and saved a woman after an earthquake, and heavy accusations occured against him. Our people, by creating local alternatives, displayed a fascist attitude with the expressions such as “The Turkish brothers who have accomplished these achievements” and targeted the Syrian refugees. Doesn't this brother deserve a "thank you" for this who scraps the debris with his nails and shows a humane behavior in order to save a person who is under ruins? How cruel, how fascist, how hostile it is! Would it be a country of goodness, a city of goodness, a race of goodness, a color? Goodness grows in the behavior of big-hearted people and they deserve to be appreciated no matter what geography they grow. I repeat; goodness has no country, goodness has no race or lineage. Goodness is a common value owned by all humanity.
The goodness of all cultures is responded with thanks. Anyway, nothing has been done to the Syrian youth. But our Syrian brothers, who have been excluded, snored and humiliated since they set foot in our country, do not mean anything in the eyes of these fascists, no matter what they do. While these racist fascists bow in front of Western bullies who occupy, exploit, plunder their cultural values, vital resources, they do not hesitate to hit the oppressed Muslim people from place to place.
We are a society that is eager to make big events from small issues, make fleas camels and then contract like a white spoon from milk. The ones from us make tens of mistakes, ignore them, and we overthrow the little mistakes of the people we exclude and marginalize and try to lynch them. All of these are negative reflections of racist discourses inspired by generations since school age. People who strongly believe that they are inherently superior races are extremely cruel to those they marry.
Racism, which was triggered by the French conflict and spread to Islamic countries where cultural values were weakened, drove Muslim peoples who saw each other as brothers. Peoples who live fraternally under the umbrella of the Ummah started to hit each other through fascist discourses and approaches. Peoples who subjected each other to ethnic and sectarian separation became open to occupation as they became poorer culturally.
Racism, the foundations of which were laid in the Tanzimat and Constitutional periods in our country, was conveyed to our children as if it were a higher identity. Individuals who knew each other as siblings and regarded living as a responsibility for Islam have begun to believe that this is no longer necessary. Accordingly, being a Turkish meant having a higher identity. With the establishment of the Republic, the understanding of upper race, which has found its place, has negatively affected every educated and uneducated segment, and Muslim peoples have begun to lose their essential features gradually.
The Rasulullah had forbidden racism, which was very common in the Arab society during the Ignorance period. Because, human beings can only gain value with their own efforts and gain good value, not with their concessions.
The Islamic brotherhood builds its principles on faith and submission. Not according to the race, skin and geography of the individuals. Accordingly, if you believe and come together in the axis of the values you believe, you are brothers, you are each other's companion, confidant and supporter. Nobody asks you which race you have here.
