Kamal Atajew was a Sabatian jew and a direct descendant of the false messiah Sabatai Zwi. He was indoctrinated with the cabalistic indoctrination by his cabalist jewish teacher/priest Şemsi Efendi(real name Simon Zwi who was also a descendant of Sabatai Zwi) in his school from the time he began studying there. Only the Jewish students were admitted and studied in Simon Zwi's school as it was a religious school with the aim to educate or rather indoctrinate the children of the Sabatean Jewish families. The journalist Hasan Tahsin(aka Osman Nevres) and the finance minister Cavit bey were also Sabatian jews who studied in Simon Zwi's school. Şemsi Efendi was a father figure for kamal atajew who assisted him to get acquainted with the other Sabataist jews while they walked the same path in the enmity and hatred of Islam. Later on in his life kamal atajew was a british agent to dismantle caliphate and destroy Ottoman when Ottoman was weakened after kamal atajew fled the Palestine front by retreating and retrieving the 7th army without informing the 4th and 8th army commanders that helped british besiege and entrap the 4th and 8th armies and enabled british to take over Palestine that would initiate the destruction of Ottoman for being forced to sign Montreux and the delegate to sign Montreux was kamal atajew's close friend Rauf Orbay advised strictly by kamal atajew in a top secret telegraph from Bahçe the subcity of Adana that was to be after forming Izzet Pasha cabinet. The british agent kamal atajew is a deceptive crypto jew and a fierce enemy of islam.

Ataturk is the greatest Turk after the Ottoman Empire. Without the leadership of Ataturk turkey would have been divided by the European forces but he proved them wrong.

[@Skeditx95]

Yeah he was a necessary evil because Ottomans works with the principles of Islam, and it's not Islam fault in that. When Ottoman participate in WW1 as axis power, they got a bad reputation. World view them as something evil after WW1. Some even think their culture is evil and their religion too. To make his people stand up he abolished Islam and Ottoman culture to made the European think, “hey we're not like Ottomans we're “modern” now”. IMO abolishing religious values and practices is bad as Europeans never saw their religion as bad and backwards they put religion and culture aside, and modern advancement aside. But Ataturk make culture and religion gone and make something only for Turks not for anyone

As a Turk, I hate the ummatists who are hostile to the Turkish identity, linking the Turks only to the Ottoman Empire and the caliphate. Ottoman and caliphate are part of Turkish history. There were Turks before the Ottomans, and there were Turks before Islam. Today, there are Christian, atheist, deist, agnostic, Shiite, Sunni Turks. Atatürk is a great soldier who spent most of his life fighting for the Ottoman Empire. Turks respect great soldiers. Without Atatürk, there would be no Istanbul, Izmir and Thrace Turks today. Thanks to the Turkish war of independence he organized, we have such a beautiful state.

The Turkish identity is largely based off of/shaped by Islam. Nothing wrong with what youre saying but why do Turks vehemently try to deny/erase their islamic past.

[@holkholkman]

@@zahradelprey It is nobody's business what the Turks did in their history. We Turks are proud of the Ottomans, the Seljuks and the Göktürk Khanate and all Turkic past. At the same time, we defend the modern Turkish Republic. We are also aware that the Islamists are hostile to the nation-state of the Turks and are doing their best to destroy it. Pakistanis and Afghans are constantly hostile to Atatürk, but they do nothing against the ignorance that destroys their own country. They come to secular Turkey they hate and harass Turkish girls.

There's a lot to say about Kemal Ataturk. Yet I will keep it in a few phrases. His efforts and vision transformed people of Türkiye from subjects to citizens, and the war-torn, completely exploited remnants of the empire, into a functioning country. There are people in the Muslim world who, for ideological- religious dogmatic reasons, hate this great man. Like any other great leader, Ataturk had his flaws, mistakes and shortcomings. However, Türkiye is different and more progressive than most Muslim-majority countries for the very reason that it started the forming 20th century with a leader like Ataturk.

@@qwerty-vp1sb I mean, there are different interpretations of secularism. The French style "Freedom From Religion" secularism is similar to what you are describing. But plenty of secular states with "Freedom of Religion" are not like what you describe. The U.S is a secular state with plenty of religion in politics; it's just the constitution doesn't mandate religion in politics, but if the people democratically vote for a law based on religion (e.g banning abortion), provided it doesn't exclude any other religion, they add it. That being said, yes, it can still be not ideal for Muslim countries because it allows people to vote for laws or constitutional changes that are not in line with a specific religion, which many Muslims or other religious see as a red line. But I don't think it's always the same as state atheism. State Atheism is like China or the USSR where you are REQUIRED to profess atheism in politics, which secular states do not do. You can still democratically pass religiously influenced laws in secular states.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is a true example of how the Western definition of a superhero is not actually an incredible superhuman. Orphaned at the age of 7, he lived a life of struggle, swore an oath that no one else should have to go through what he went through, and as a result founded the Republic of Turkey. In doing so, he fought the war of independence and established Turkey, which, despite the Ottoman Dynasty, was neither an imperial power nor colonized. In doing so, he made possible a secular and modern Turkey with the abolition of the Sultanate, the abolition of the Caliphate, equality between men and women, and the Literacy Campaign. These can be summarized as the top-down implementation of the Renaissance in 14 years... The fact that a man who left only reason and science as his legacy is recognized by the entire world civilization naturally worries the beneficiaries of the established order :D. It makes little difference whether they worry or welcome the core principles of the real world civilization with warmth. Because Atatürk's youth will bring the necessary change and lasting peace to the world in line with reason and science.

[@abstractum1564]

Based on the comments written here, and in response to some points the narrator didn't understand, I will provide a brief summary: Although Atatürk may seem like a leader with complex and inconsistent thoughts, the key to understanding lies in the political rhetoric prevailing worldwide during his time, such as fascism and ethnic nationalism. What makes Atatürk great is not only his planned reforms and military background but also his pragmatic success in implementing these reforms. Also, in comments section I saw some unrealistic stances (muslim out-siders), saying that "let's not abolish the caliphate, but rather establish a softer form of secularism". Well, this would have had disastrous consequences in the uneducated and susceptible society inherited from the Ottoman era(less than 10% literacy) turning Turkey into a mere cesspool in the Middle East. Last but not least: I can talk with you about this topic until morning. I have read more than 10 books about Atatürk, and currently, I am studying political science :)

The Republic of Türkiye is the continuation of the Ottoman state. It's just a regime change. Atatürk was also an Ottoman officer. Unfortunately, even some Turks do not understand this. Atatürk made the revolutions required by the age. These revolutions are similar to the religious reforms in Europe. There is a purpose here to free the people from the oppression and dogmas of religion. As a leader with an interest in history, Atatürk knew that the reason for the collapse of the Ottoman and Seljuk empires was that religion gave direction to politics. Therefore, he did not want the newly established state to suffer the same fate. Don't just look at his bio from Wikipedia, look at other sources, especially Turkish ones. Unfortunately, there are also those who hate such a great leader. So be careful.

I consider myself a Muslim and also a hardcore Nationalist Ataturk Fan, the reason being is because of how intelligent he was to win a major battle against England, New Zealand, Australia, France, who joined forces to attack and dismantle Turkey altogether, but Ataturk stoped them in their tracks and after that, remember this is all after the fall of the ottoman empire, there were too many traitor's and people that wanted to destroy Turkey, and because everyone new it had Islamic law's, they new how to destroy it, but Ataturk came along and thought if he changed Turkey's laws and regulations from the old, the traitors and backstabbers couldn't destroy Turkey anymore, unfortunately he did sin and maybe threw himself into the fire, but he done it for the unconditional love for his Turkish people. And that's why he is loved soo much 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷✊

You can't be a Muslim and support banning headscarfs and keeping beard.

@@adm2399 According to who? only Allah can judge me, he didn't ban Hijabs that's a lie, what he did was said you don't need to wear it if you don't want to, there's a difference.

​@@HUS_STAR he insulted our prophet Muhammad pbuh What about that? Arabic Quran is banned y? (U can use Turkish translated quran for understanding the Quran but it can only be recite in Arabic) And other things? Closing islamic schools? If attaturk did nothing wrong Then y liberalism and secularism is rised in Turkiye? Ottoman Turkish r highly religious muslims But because of Ataturk and brainwashing Turks became liberals and secularist U know what CHP party prime minister Şükrü Saraçoğlu said Religions are poisen All religious books should be banned And Ataturk is the founder of that party Secularism Means separatist of government and religion It does not mean separation of Ppls and religion They arrest religious leaders

The steel-colored brightness of [his] eyes shines out of the warrior-like, sunburned brown of [his] face with an uncanny, captivating power. Eyes, within which the supple power and the ruthless will of self-assertion of the Turanian grey wolf twin- kles." Be it Aryan, Turanian, or even Mongolian, or, again perhaps obviously, Prussian-when, in the narratives, Atatürk meets the Kai- ser, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff in 1917-what his appearance and actions reaffirmed was the awakening and the "triumph of race." Schopen concluded: He is nothing less than the incarnation of all warrior-like na- tions. The Turk is, in his moral qualities, one of the best sol- diers of the world. For him the victorious military Führer stands above everything else. And Mustafa Kemal, mathematician and carrier of soldier blood from his father's line, was a genius of the strategic idea."7 For most of these texts, Atatürk was the ultimate warrior-"battle was his nature."+ Froembgen described him as "a thunderstorm turned man." Melzig said in his Atatürk biography: "In him a he- roic spirit rose to the light from the depth of thousands of years." Froembgen also stressed, "He is a soldier the like of which seldom comes along." Atatürk's prowess in battle was stressed time and again: "The soldiers hesitated to throw themselves into the rain of death. Mustafa Kemal knows, here no order will be enough, here one needs to be a role model, to be a Führer."52 The Führer as a role model for everybody-in battle, for the Turkish farmer with his model farm, but also for the ordinary Turk, when it comes to demeanor, dress, and indeed everything-was a constant theme of these texts.53 Descriptions of Atatürk's aura elevated him to messianistic levels. With his deeds at Gallipoli during World War I, Atatürk emerges in these narratives not only as the imminent savior of Constantino- ple but as a transcendental "savior." Indeed, the formula "savior and Führer" was frequently put forward by some texts. Some stressed that one could feel a special aura, "a magic circle," in his presence he was "the chosen one."

Ataturk is a great commander and politician he wanted to make turkey democratic but one of other partyies members kasim karabekir wanted to coup and they was wanting to make rebbels against turkey

At 2:10, bro has no information about how anatolian people was ignorant an the time, in additional he used to try to open new parties like 'free republic party' and 'progressive republic party'. Both of the these parties indirectly caused to Menemen Incident and expansion Sheik Said rebellion (we lost the chance of retake mosul from British). As you see, Ataturk wanted to establish a democratic govenrment but he always encountered with ignorance and slavish believe to islamic rumors. This thing still exist with a party called AKP (justice and development party). They did everything except justice and development.
