Should we be praising President Erdogan of Turkey?

I am seeing some really awful apologist arguments defending rulers like Erdogan, absolving him of his criminal silence over Syria whilst he firefights in Israel - shameful is putting it lightly! They totally miss the points being made: - Erdogan has been filtered by a secular Turkish elite, allowed into power as someone who will not disrupt the political status quo - all his policies retain Turkey's historic trajectories with little having changed under his rule aside from rhetorical flourishes. - Erdogan has no strategy to liberate Turkey or the region from foreign hegemony. None of our foreign imposed rulers since 1924 have ever had a strategy - all confine themselves to the borders defined by their masters, never even questioning them let alone removing them and uniting our lands - keeping us weak, insecure and in need of foreign interventions unable to address any serious issue themselves. - One has to only read historic accounts over the past century to see apologists use the same "head in the sand" arguments of inaction repeatedly claiming self-preservation. - Most criticising him use Syria as an example where he as the major neighbour state can potentially resolve the issue with his military and kick out Assad - however he has failed in this totally. - Russia retaliating risks engulfing the entire region into instability and a war with unpredictable results forcing even Western countries to take sides with its Nato ally to limit Russian hegemony. With long supply routes and boots needed on the ground, it is a high risk war for Russia. Having failed miserably against a third world state like Afghanistan when it was at its zenith it is not invincible. That leaves Iran as the only regional player that can try to oppose her and the US has already positioned Turkey to counterbalance them. - Even if it could be argued this fight is to be tactically avoided, when there is no strategy to liberate the Muslim world then everything becomes a series of "fights, policies and activities" tactically to be avoided. Nothing changes nor will it ever change with such thinking. - An analogy if one was needed is of thugs raping and murdering inhabitants of houses around you. They will be coming for you in due course. Being silent, acquiescing, maintaining the status quo or supporting them is simply not good enough - it is plain stupid! - We all know the solution is to kick him and his ilk out and replace them with a sincere leadership that seeks to implement the caliphate, expel foreign interests from our lands and unify the region into one state via diplomacy, geopoliticing and military force akin to the prophet's unification of Arabia in the 7th century exhibited in the seera. And if that isn't enough Allah categorically condemns these secular nationalistic elites in a number of verses: "Whosever does not rule by what Allah has revealed are the fasiqun... zalimun... kafirun..." (5:44-47)

You expose the treacheries of Sisi, Salman, Abdullah, Sharif or Zardari and most Muslims see the reality. You expose the treacheries of Erdogan and you get the same old excuses: 1. "You don't know Turkish politics." Really? Ok, so tell us since you do. What's this secretive x-factor that changes everything. 2. "You don't know what difficulties Erdogan faces." Fine. Enlighten us with these difficulties and how they justify the otherwise unjustifiable. 3. "The Arab rulers are worse." Yeah and...? 4. "So which Muslim ruler is better than him?" None. But they are not the standard of judgment. 5. "You're an enemy of Erdogan. He's got enemies everywhere." Righto. 6. "Erdogan has done a lot of good: a,b,c..." That must mean all his bad is forgiven or somehow justified? 7. "He's taking things slowly. The Turks are very secular because of Ataturk so he's working slowly and covertly for Islam." He advocates secularism himself. How do you know he has a secret agenda for Islam? ...[silence...] C'mon people. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.
