There’s nothing good about secularism! The Donmeh ruined the Caliphate and they continue to plot and plan and scheme in Turkey! The Donmeh make up nearly half of Turkey. They pretended to be Muslim to subvert the Caliphate and establish the state of Israel. The Donmeh are apostates and they represent the opposition in Türkiye! They beat up any Muslim who expresses his Islam by wearing a Topi and or an Islamic garment and numerous cases have been highlighted in the past year! This is your secularism! Disbelief! Racism against Arabs! Hatred for Arabic and Islam! Thankfully the Muslims who love and defend Islam in Turkiye are in power and are growing in number and force! Publishing houses are churning out Arabic books regarding all the Sharia subjects including some books written by Ottoman Scholars of the past that are being printed on a large scale for the first time! Islamic universities in Türkiye are booming and The 100 year agreement not to reinstate the Caliphate IS OVER!

The track is A Tribute To The Israeli Defence Force and it is excellent - tuneful and forceful without being bombastic combined with a lovely lyric. I know next to nothing about the group but on investigation I see they've recorded a whole batch of Jewish related tracks such as Pesach, Yom Kippur, Bar Mitzvah, Israel Is Real, The 613 Mitzvot and probably others I don’t know about yet. Some of them feature Rabbi Moshe Bryski which is definitely a recommendation in itself.

Dude, if you see the places where the floor is covered with rugs (even there they are quite expensive) you should check if the custom is to take off shoes. They might not tell you right away, but really the dirt stains do not go well on these. It’s not a Muslim custom, it’s common sense. (Rugs are a way to insulate against heat loss).

Looking forward to much more coverage from this place. Food should be amazing. Maybe you could also interview the leaders of the community, the rabbeim.
