CONTROVERSY OVER ISLAMIC THEOLOGY
#Laschet
1/9 When teaching Islam at🇩🇪 schools and universities, the state must cooperate with religious representatives. But that doesn't mean to cooperate with fundamentalists.
Cc: @RR98013929 @greekphase
🧵
faz.net/-gyl-adwys?GEP… 2/9 The 🇩🇪state is faced with a dilemma regarding the teaching permission for Islamic instruction & theology, because-unlike the Christian churches-there is no recognized religious community that is entitled to grant this permission.

#Cyprus #Κύπρος🇨🇾
1⃣MYTHS circulate by Turks about certain incidents that took place during the 1956-1958 & 1962-1964 intercommunal strife. The FACTS (mainly from Turkish sources & British archives) show that Turks were not victims of Greek violence but the protagonists
Thread🧵 2⃣
Myth-A❌: On June 7, 1958, Greek Cypriots threw a bomb at the Information Bureau of the Turkish Consulate.

Since then, the prospect has loomed as an existential threat over Egypt.

#Iran 🤝 #Taliban. New Horizons
1⃣Iran's regime has overturned its hostility to the Taliban and may welcome the "enemies of America" as Kabul's new masters. Turkey & Pakistan are also accused by Afghan politicians for weaponizing the Taliban. 2⃣After the US toppled the Taliban in 2001, the Iranian Supreme Leader not only sheltered them but is now veering toward closer ties with them. Ali Shamkhani, senior security official, has praised their leaders for their resolve in fighting the Americans.

1⃣Οι #Αφροέλληνες της μουσουλμανικής μειονότητας
Σε χωριά της Ξάνθης και ειδικά στο Άβατο, ζει μια φυλή περίπου χιλίων ατόμων με σκούρο δέρμα, μιλούν άπταιστα ελληνικά και αυτοπροσδιορίζονται ως Έλληνες
greekcitytimes.com/2021/02/10/ava… 2⃣Οι πρόγονοι των «Αφροελλήνων» κατά πάσα πιθανότητα ήταν σκλάβοι από το Σουδάν που έφερε μαζί του ο Ιμπραήμ πασάς. Άλλωστε η Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία ήταν ένας από τους κύριους πελάτες σκλάβων.

Οι #Αλεβίτες Μουσουλμάνοι της Θράκης
1⃣Ο πρώτος ευκτήριος οίκος Αλεβιτών στην Ελλάδα πήρε άδεια λειτουργίας προ ημερών. Οι #Αλεβίτες, περίπου 3.000, κατοικούν κυρίως στα ορεινά χωριά της Θράκης. Ο υφυπουργός Παιδείας Α. Συρίγος είπε:
kathimerini.gr/society/561329… 2⃣«Οι Αλεβίτες διαθέτουν χώρους προσευχής στην περιοχή όπως είναι το τέμενος της Ρούσσας, αλλά τους είχε υφαρπάξει το σουνιτικό Ισλάμ». Οι Αλεβίτες αποτελούν θρησκευτική μουσουλμανική μειονότητα και έχουν ισχυρές διαφορές με τους σουνίτες και τους σιίτες.

1⃣Συνάντηση Έλληνα πρωθυπουργού με τον πρωθυπουργό της προσωρινής κυβέρνησης της Λιβύης
Τοποθετούμαι εξαρχής για την συνάντηση. Συμφωνώ με τον @PlakoudasSpyros ότι είναι scramble for influence και όχι mission impossible. Σίγουρα πάντως όχι αποτυχημένη.
2⃣Ας ξεκινήσουμε με κάποιες παραδοχές
α. Η προσωρινή κυβέρνηση της 🇱🇾 νομιμοποιήθηκε από τη διεθνή κοινότητα και εσωτερικές δυνάμεις.
β. Θα προσπαθήσει να επηρεάσει το μετεκλογικό τοπίο και οι εκλογές δεν είναι δεδομένες αν δεν διασφαλιστεί η σταθερότητα

#HouthisTerroristGroup
1⃣The Houthis terrorists attack on the education sector. Their ideology is not accepted by the young Yemenis, and the Houthis target schools and universities to change the identity of the curriculums and replace them with their sectarian ideology and goals. 2⃣In addition the links between the Houthis and the #Hezbollah in Lebanon are striking. Hezbollah supports the Houthis in the media platforms and the Houthis divert the humanitarian aid they get for the people of Yemen to Hezbollah.

Engin Altay of the🇹🇷 Kemalist party #CHP:"Mr. Erdogan, if you make concessions in the EastMed, Cyprus, the Aegean, Syria and even in Libya, we will be behind you."

1⃣ 🔥🇮🇳 - 🇹🇷 🔥

An effort to translate in English Andreas' Mountzouroulias' very important article on 🇮🇳 - 🇹🇷 tentative relations over Kashmir:

"India is furious with the actions of Turkish NGOs in Kashmir and are probably preparing retaliation" 2⃣ Many Islamist humanitarian orgs based in 🇹🇷, and Turkish NGOs as well, proceed to the warfare tactic of "blitzkrieg" in Jammu & Kashmir. The Turkish president's stance against 🇮🇳 on Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is known, but now he is stepping up his efforts to influence the issue.
