Why was Turkey the first Islamic country to recognize the state of Israel?

We're indeed very unlucky to lose Quaid so early on...

Dont be ashamed of your history...

In the first half of the 19th century, no foreigners were allowed to purchase land in Palestine.[citation needed] This was official Turkish policy until 1856 and in practice until 1867.[5] When it came to the national aspirations of the Zionist movement, the Ottoman Empire opposed the idea of Jewish self-rule in Palestine, fearing it may lose control of Palestine after recently having lost other territories to various European powers. It also took issue with the Jews, as many came from Russia, which sought the empire's demise.[6] In 1881 the Ottoman governmental administration (the Sublime Porte) decreed that foreign Jews could immigrate to and settle anywhere within the Ottoman Empire, except in Palestine and from 1882 until their defeat in 1918, the Ottomans continuously restricted Jewish immigration and land purchases in Palestine.[6]

The Ottoman Land Code of 1858 "brought about the appropriation by the influential and rich families of Beirut, Damascus, and to a lesser extent Jerusalem and Jaffa and other sub-district capitals, of vast tracts of land in Syria and Palestine and their registration in the name of these families in the land registers".[8] Many of the fellahin did not understand the importance of the registers and therefore the wealthy families took advantage of this. Jewish buyers who were looking for large tracts of land found it favorable to purchase from the wealthy owners. As well many small farmers became in debt to rich families which led to the transfer of land to the new owners and then eventually to the Jewish buyers.

You sold your own lands...

This picture says it all, Turks handed out Alquds to the Jews.

As you see, it seems the Ottoman-backed guy doesn't really care and he had his last cigarette there.

It wouldnt have happen if you guys didnt play the cannon fodder for the Brits, look there are some Arab members that i admire here, i dont want to offend them because of a ignorant troll like you.

You can dream on,will never happen.

Well my dreams are based on the long history of Turkey except for the last 70-80 years, it was a powerful Islamic country so I guess perhaps your time to wake up is drawing near. People of Turkey have seen what perils secularism brought on them and now they are voting for religious parties and that makes sense. Now Turkey is regaining its old glory.

No offence but you seriously dont know anything about Turkey, not everything is as it appears from outside, go to Turkey but be prepared to get a culture shock.

Even Pakistan is not 100% Islamic.

Pakistan should be an Islamic country.

There is NOT a single Islamic country right now and Pakistan is Islamic only to the extent of the name. Interest based economy negates the very foundation of an Islamic country. Furthermore republic is an incompatible concept.

@EgyptianAmerican ,because of people like you,its hard for Turkish members to engage in the same way some of your Arab brothers do,see the dilema?

 

[defence_analyst]

Jews are not to blame here but western world for Israel, europe wanted to get rid of jew problem in their own continent. First these bastards killed 6 million of them and rest were moved to middle east. There is no point in Islamic world having any hostility towards Israel while they continue to have normal relations with western world.

Yara that needs a separate thread rather forum.

I won't take offense if you wish to insult an Arab member who is antagonizing you. Feel free, I have made some very vague and hurtful insults of Indians despite the fact that they are a lot of Indian members whom I respect and would never wish to insult.
