It was this Persian Islam, rather than the original Arab Islam, that was brought to new areas and new peoples: to the Turks, first in Central Asia and then in the Middle East in the country which came to be called Turkey, and of course to India.
Total BS. It was Turkish Islam brought to Anatolia. Turkish derwishes like Hadji Bektash carried the tariqat of Ahmed Yesevi from Central Asia. Persian speakers like Celaleddin Rumi (which was Turk from his mother side who was descendat of Khwarezmshah Sultan) was local jamaat leader/sufi.
The Ottoman Turks brought a form of Iranian civilization to the walls of Vienna.
Yeah Iranians conquered southeastern Europe.
The center of the Islamic world was under Turkish and Persian states, both shaped by Iranian culture. [...] The major centers of Islam in the late medieval and early modern periods, the centers of both political and cultural power, such as India, Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, were all part of this Iranian civilization.
Is that what they teach you in Schools?
Although much of it spoke various forms of Turkish, as well as other local languages, their classical and cultural language was Persian. Arabic was of course the language of scripture and law, but Persian was the language of poetry and literature".
Persian was the language of poetry and literature. Wow, really? It was only court language. Common folks' poetry was like that:
Benden selam olsun Bolu Beyi'ne
Çıkıp şu dağlara yaslanmalıdır
Ok gıcırtısından kalkan sesinden
Dağlar seda verip seslenmelidir
Düşman geldi bölük bölük dizildi
Alnımıza kara yazı yazıldı
Tüfenk icad oldu mertlik bozuldu
Eğri kılıç kında paslanmalıdır
Köroğlu düşer mi hele şanından
Çogunu ayırır er meydanından
Kırat köpüğünden düşman kanından
Çevrem dolup şalvar ıslanmalıdır
