The Global Fatwa Index (GFI) of Egypt’s Dar al-Iftaa, and the General Secretariat for Fatwa Offices Worldwide, on Saturday warned against watching the Turkish drama series “Valley of the Wolves” and “The Resurrection of Artgrel”.

A statement from the GFI stressed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would not stop his dream of expressing all power politically or religiously, even through cultural and artistic works.

It added that “the Turkish president and his followers are not immune from using religious discourse in general, and fatwa in particular, as a cover for their military operations, just like terrorist groups and organizations.”

“They (Erdogan and his followers) export to the people and nations the idea that they are the leaders of the caliphate, responsible for supporting Muslims worldwide and being their salvation from oppression and injustice, while also seeking to implement Islamic law. They hide the fact that their main drive in these colonial campaigns is what Erdogan reaps from material and political gains,” the statement stressed.

The GFI said that the Turkish president seeks to use all tools possible to achieve hegemony in the Middle East region, the most important of which is the use of religious and fatwa discourse at 40 percent of fatwas in this regard, both internally and externally.

The index added that Erdogan has sought to consolidate his dictatorial rule through interior Turkish fatwas by 30 percent of fatwas while abroad, while through 70 percent of fatwas he recruits several muftis of political Islam groups such as the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood organization and extremist militias in different countries.

Well, at the moment this particular Turkish government is a partner in the neo-Crusader alliance called NATO. The Muslims of the world should realize this.

I believe the sensible among the Turkish citizens should remove Erdogan from presidentship and bring in a new leader who will pull the Turkish military back from Syria and will renew the friendship that Turkey and Syria had until 2011.

They should stick their fatwas where the sun doesn't shine. It's exactly people like the govt of Eygpt who will be endangered by the people awoken by series like this. You can tell how dangerous it is to them. All oppressors will fall.

You tell me...your nose is so far up arabs you cant breathe. These same arabs have given up al aqsa. And you are here waffling about a fatwa from a jahil about a TV program. See how they use religion to manipulate lemmings who spend their lives arguing about nothing. If turks are bad in Nato then what is egypt a partner of isreal who actively kills Palestinians and assist israel in the blockade. So please shut the f Up

I don't have any romantic illusions about some Ummah which is led by Arabs. Shah ze zyada shah ka wafadaar... that's not me.

I am a Socialist, so all those people I listed above were Internationalists and among them the Muslims were not really of the mullah type.

If turks are bad in Nato then what is egypt a partner of isreal who actively kills Palestinians and assist israel in the blockade.

There are two things here :

1. Turkey should exit NATO.

2. The Israel-Palestine issue should be resolved peacefully and politically.

Who are you to tell turkey what to do and how exactly do you think the jews will gove up the land of Palestine.

Oh socialist .... explains a lot.

Maybe it is nationalist Egyptian sentiment. From what I know, the Ottoman empire ruled Egypt for a couple hundred of years, so this fatwa is I suppose an angry response for a TV series which showcases Turkish royalty.

Who are you to tell turkey what to do

I am just a simple person who wants good for Turkey.

and how exactly do you think the jews will gove up the land of Palestine.

The people of Palestine and Israel - the Jews, the Muslims and the Christians - should band together into a Single State that is governed by a democratic system ( Direct Democracy Socialism ). I know this and I don't know how the Two State Solution works.

There should be some political, thus peaceful solution. The issue can't go on and on for another twenty years.
