Don’t Be Distracted by Summits, Open Fronts

News:

At the Extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, President Erdoğan said: “We know that Israel will not stop in the short term unless it is met with strong reaction and sanctions. We are aware that we have the means to prevent this.” (Agencies 15.09.2025)

Comment:

Today, whether the leaders of the ummah gather in Istanbul, Riyadh, Cairo, or Doha, the scene never changes: declarations, long sentences, condemnations, statements expressing weakness, remarks far from solutions, lines full of diplomacy. Unfortunately, although these meetings have zero effect in stopping the massacre, destruction, and starvation in Gaza, the repetition of the same ineffectual rhetoric by leaders addicted to power and positions is nothing but a plan to cover up their incapacity.

For two years, Gaza has been condemned to relentless destruction, and the leaders’ statements that go no further than fiery rhetoric only give the greatest courage to the Jewish infidel. As President Erdoğan himself admitted, they in fact possess more than enough means to stop this genocidal entity. Yet, the lack of will to use these means reduces their immense resources and power to nothing. Will is held hostage by fear. When courage is sacrificed for seat calculations, oppression continues to multiply.

These meetings called summits bring not honor but humiliation to the ummah. Today the rulers of the ummah are in the grip of the disease of wahn. Love of the world and lust for power keep them away from Gaza. Fear of death turns them away from the road to Jerusalem and Gaza. If, in the dozens of summits held over the past two years, the rulers of the ummah had just once decided to open a front to tear out the heart of the Jewish entity, today’s massacre and genocide would have ended before it began.

Given the geographical expanse and diversity you possess, the recklessness of the Jewish infidel—who is but a dot within it—should have provoked your honor. You, 57 leaders commanding millions of soldiers, instead of overcoming a handful of terror gangs, remain stuck in your seats and choose humiliation. Despite your massive war machines, the weapons in the hands of a small number of mujahideen have had more effect on the genocidal entity than you. The shame of this does not seem to disturb you. Allah has bestowed upon our lands countless resources above and below ground, yet you refrain from delivering them to Gaza, condemned to death by starvation, from being a breath of life to them. While the disbelievers have virtually formed a front alongside the Jewish infidel, you foolishly expect solutions from the perpetrators of this massacre.

Muslims who pour into the streets for Gaza feel the pain of their brothers and sisters, and they grieve. But the leaders still cannot take a step without permission from the West. While Muslim blood is being shed, trade ships anchor at 'Tel Aviv’s' port. While children are torn apart under bombs, diplomatic relations continue. While the genocidal force tries to swallow all of Gaza, the harshness of your words only exposes your betrayal. If you truly have the power to stop the Jewish infidel, then you also have the power to deter not only them but all disbelievers, especially the U.S. In that case, every second you waste will confront you with consequences for which you will never be able to account.

May Allah grant the Islamic ummah leaders whose words and deeds will be one, who know the weight of their words and will not hesitate to mobilize armies for a single drop of the ummah’s blood, who will put honor and dignity above everything, who will not give way to the merchants of false diplomacy, who will respond immediately and properly to aggressive disbelievers and who will be trustworthy and a source of security for the ummah.
