I. Grave Threats for Egypt’s Existence and Serious Danger for China’s Expansion
The dimensions that the War in Gaza may have for China are even more alarming than those it has for Egypt; at worldwide level, the ongoing war, which has already lasted for 3 months, takes an absolutely different appearance. Its first, pre-occupying at the international level, element was attested with the early dispatch of the US-led naval force to the Eastern Mediterranean. The reasons mentioned as the eventual ‘pretext’ were all ridiculous lies; neither Israel needed the support ‘offered’ nor did Iran have the intention to straightforwardly attack Israel. Since the beginning of the Israeli military operations in Gaza, it was definitely and accurately known that Iran and its allies (a nebula of paramilitary forces in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen) would undertake only a low-tension war of attrition against the Zionist state. What was then the real purpose of the multinational force that reached the Eastern Mediterranean?
Before answering this question, we have to also observe the progressive extension of the Gaza War into the wider Red Sea region. For this to happen, the thoughtless, purposeless, foolish or rather artfully induced Houthi attacks, as well as the ensuing maritime transportation security problems were hypocritically presented as the pretext. The dispatch of another US-led naval force, this time in the vast Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea regions, has -in geostrategic terms- the appearance of ‘cutting’ Asia from Africa. This consists in a direct threat to the combined interests of China, India and Russia.
What business is it of Washington to possibly care about that part of the world?
In reality, maritime transportation security is more central to Chinese interests than to American concerns. This fact underscores the concealed reality of the ridiculously called ‘Israel-Hamas War’; acting as a US puppet, the evidently and ferociously anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish, and anti-Zionist Benjamin Netanyahu first radicalized the Gazan Palestinians by promoting Hamas among them, second induced them to hit after the 9/11 example, third allowed them to calmly and without opposition carry out the 7 October 2023 attacks, and fourth declared war against the Gazans in order to subtly bring the US naval forces in.
And why does Netanyahu want the war to last long? Every day, the Netanyahu government sends coffins with the dead bodies of soldiers to their families. Does he really care? Does he believe that Israel’s embattled army will eliminate Palestinian resistance? No! These topics are insignificant to the devilish, pro-Anglo-Saxon, much wanted gangster Netanyahu. The fake state of Israel is a burned card for him; he duly and fully utilizes that structure only for the benefit of the US world dominance.
This must be the Chinese conclusion of the theatrical act named ‘Gaza War 2023’. Beijing must therefore react and prepare the total demolition of America and the disappearance of every Anglo-Saxon impact from the world; this can certainly be done without a nuclear war. The first step will be a strongly and gradually built, sizeable Chinese military presence on the Black Continent; this will start with a Special Military Alliance between China and Egypt.
In the first of this series of articles, I expanded on a) the centuries-old Western hatred of Egypt, b) the existing historical threats against the Valley of the Nile, c) the gradual process of decomposition that the criminal Western gangsters applied to Libya and the Sudan over the past 12 years, and d) the direct relationship between the otherwise worthless Renaissance Dam (also known as GERD), which has been built in the Occupied Benishangul land (currently province) of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), and the Abyssinian ‘Prophecy’ against Egypt and Sudan. This is the link:
In the second of this series of articles, I completed the presentation of the Egyptian approach to the need of the Egyptian-Chinese Military Alliance and expanded on the Chinese perspective towards the topic; more specifically, I first presented the war in Gaza and the destabilization of the Red Sea Region as a very serious issue for Egypt; then, I overviewed the historical background of the rise of China as a world super-power; at last, I duly highlighted the irrevocable prerequisites of China’s worldwide predominance. As a matter of fact, I intentionally presented China’s most demanded military presence in Africa as the sixth (: last) prerequisite; this means that there are several other spheres of activities in which China must deploy an unprecedented, systematic and long-term effort first. This is the link:

II. Perspectives of the Strategic Alliance between Egypt & China
A special military alliance between Beijing and Cairo will be advantageous and fruitful for both countries only if it is considered as integral part of a strategic alliance between the two countries. The brotherhood of the two nations must be viewed from both sides as unique in their diachronic existence.
For Egypt, it must herald the irrevocable termination of all the problems that the modern state of Masr (under khedivial, royal and republican rule) has faced since 1798 and the definite cancellation of all the lasting dangers to which Cairo has been exposed. The strategic alliance with China must be the practical remake of Ancient Egypt and the comeback of its unparalleled radiation across Africa. Thanks to this groundbreaking change, Egypt will become the most influential African power in terms of Pan-African identity, Hamitic-Cushitic cultural integrity, Afrocentric educational revival, academic-scientific de-Westernization, resourceful reassessment of natural resources utilization, infrastructure and urban development, urban relocation and reconstruction, agricultural re-organization, technological and military readjustment and social overhaul.
For China, it must be the beginning of the next stage of China’s expansion and rise to world superpower status; it will function as Beijing’s Gate to Africa, because the success story of the Chinese-Egyptian strategic alliance will later serve as model for further/similar bilateral agreements and alliances, notably with Algeria, Nigeria, Mali, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Congo, etc. A group of ca. 1000 Chinese specialists on Egypt will have to envision how to efficiently, comprehensively and promptly transform Egypt after the Chinese model. In fact, they should have to function as a second government of Egypt – not in terms of decision-making but in respect of out-of-the-box thinking, envisioning stages of Egypt’s transformation and transmutation, suggesting them to the national government in Cairo, and after the local approval, coordinating with the respective authorities in Beijing as to how to kick off the projects.
A great number of projects in every field should therefore be identified, planned, discussed with the respective Egyptian administrative, military, academic or entrepreneurial teams, and then implemented. In the way the country functions and operates, Egypt will thus gradually be transformed into a small African China.
For all the other African countries, the successful launching of the Chinese-Egyptian strategic alliance will herald
i) the definitive removal of the obsolete, colonial practices, structures and concepts;
ii) the eradication of the ensuing corruption;
iii) the elimination of potential threats of war, persecution, oppression or genocide;
iv) the termination of the Western techniques of dependence and subordination of former colonies;
v) the final withdrawal of American, English, French and other Western military bases, troops, advisers, and diplomatic personnel; and
vi) the irrevocable cancellation of
a) the colonially imposed Western pedagogical-educational-academic system;
b) all the bilateral agreements between African countries and the major colonial states in the sectors of Education, Academic Research, Scientific Cooperation, and Cultural Exchanges;
c) the racist Western narrative, the Eurocentric bogus-historical dogma, the fallacy of the Judeo-Christian civilization, and the falsehood of Greco-Roman civilization;
d) the replacement of the Western archaeological schools and institutes with Chinese, Russian, Indian, Japanese, Iranian and Turkish specialists;
e) the end of French and English as foreign languages across Africa; and
f) the prohibition of Western missionaries to move and proselytize on African soil.
III. Two Chinese Military Bases in Egypt: One Million Chinese Military on African Soil
For major changes to be initiated in Egypt, Cairo should offer (in terms of a 99-year lease) two sizeable military footholds to China, one in the country’s NW confines, nearby the Mediterranean coast between Mersa Matruh and El Salloum, and another in Egypt’s SE extremities, in the Red Sea Governorate, between Ras Banas and Bi’r Shalatayn (or Shalateen), outside the Halaib Triangle. Each military base should cover an area of approximately 5000 km2.
Mersa Matruh and El Salloum
The military installations should comprise several independent sectors and involve parallel activities; more specifically,
– a first sector shall be established as proper military base with an airfield and a military port, including various Chinese airborne and special operations units, division headquarters, command center, training ground, proving ground, and a great number of properly selected brigades and regiments. The scope of this sector shall be the training of the Chinese Army of Africa, the accommodation of personnel, the storage of equipment, and the facilitation of operations throughout the Black Continent.
– a second sector shall shelter specially established Chinese and Egyptian units and be utilized for the training of the Egyptian army in the Chinese method of war, army organization, martial arts, language, and warrior spirit. All the different units of the Egyptian Army, involving armored corps, the artillery corps, the airborne corps, the infantry/mechanized forces, the special forces, etc. will be rotating in the sector. The end target shall be the complete sinicization of the Egyptian armed forces. Amongst others, here will be planned (and subsequently implemented) the total and complete replacement of the equipment of the Egyptian Army with the respective Chinese material at all levels. The program will be rolled out across all the agencies and the departments of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense. All the Chinese military officers, army employees, specialists, soldiers and auxiliaries, who will be dispatched there, will have as task to fully transform the Egyptian Army after the Chinese model.
– a third sector shall accommodates the headquarters of the local annexes of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) National Defense University, the National University of Defense Technology (中国人民解放军国防科学技术大学), the PLA Information Engineering University, and the Army Command College of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Coordinating with the Egyptian Military Academy and Egypt’s Chief of Staff, and acting under the auspices of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces (namely the President of Egypt) and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (i.e. the Minister of Defense), all the local annexes of the above mentioned Chinese institutions shall produce the military officers of Egypt’s entirely new army, which will gradually supersede and replace the present one.
– last, a fourth sector shall function as a military industrial zone; a great number of Chinese defense manufacturing and defense technology companies will therefore be authorized to found subsidiaries and establish local manufacturing plants. Chinese and Egyptian personnel will staff the joint ventures which will cover local and regional needs, thus not only covering all the needs of Egypt in terms of military equipment but also contributing to Egypt’s exports.
The scope of the special military alliance between China and Egypt will be groundbreaking enough to totally transform the Egyptian state’s structures of colonial dependence that has lasted more than 200 years. The two military bases will be able to accommodate about one million Chinese personnel and a corresponding number of Egyptians. The very early stages of the alliance will also comprise of several military operations outside the borders of Egypt for the benefit of both countries and the promotion of the common geopolitical goals. The need for them may be urgent for both, Egypt and China.

IV. Joint Chinese-Egyptian Military Operations in Sudan and the Perspectives of a Chinese-Egyptian-Sudanese Alliance
To prepare for a major socio-economic and political overhaul, which is most needed, Egypt has to secure its backyard; this definitely means that the chaotic conditions, which currently prevail in Sudan and Libya, must be terminated once for all. While the fall of Gadhafi in 2011 did not have significant repercussions on Egypt, the present situation in Sudan is very alarming.
Cairo managed to establish a form of cooperation with the Libyan strongman and commander of the Tobruk-based Libyan National Army (LNA) Khalifa Haftar (born in 1943), but the existence of Darfur’s butcher Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemedti; born in 1974), his disastrous, treacherous and criminal acts in Sudan, his divisive stance, his contribution to the ongoing civil war, and -even worse- his connections with states that are openly inimical to Egypt, notably the colonial tyranny of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), consist in a lethal threat for the Egyptian people and government. Background:
The following three links reveal the falsehood, the bias, and the anti-Egyptian hatred spread by the disreputable criminals of al Jazeera, which should be closed down one way or another:
The Civil War in Sudan as of January 2024; in pink color the areas under control by the Sudanese government and Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan
Egypt must support energetically and drastically Abdel Fattah al-Burhan (born in 1960), Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and de facto ruler of Sudan, who faces a rebellion actively fueled from abroad and systematically supported by the Neo-Nazi cholera of England, the notorious MI6 outfit named Qatar, and their pseudo-Muslim agents and bribed lackeys. Without a strong ally, Cairo cannot send 300000 soldiers in Sudan in order to effectively remove the Dagalo plague, terminate the killings that he causes across the unfortunate and targeted country, and avert the threat that he represents.
What is even worse is the condition of the transportation infrastructure in the regions around the Egyptian-Sudanese border, and in general throughout Sudan. There is no highway road running either in the Valley of the Nile (from Aswan and Abu Simbel to Wadi Halfa, Dongola, and thence to Khartoum) or alongside the Red Sea coastline (from Mersa Alam, Ras Banas, Shalatayn, Halaib, Dungunab, Port Sudan).
Similarly, there is no railway connection between Egypt and Sudan. This was deceitfully prescribed to their colonial subjects by the English colonials when they ruled those lands; although there was a railway connection between Cairo and Aswan (860 km; it reached Aswan only in 1898) and despite the fact that Wadi Halfa was connected with Abu Hamad, Atbara and Khartoum (350+244+313: 907 km; it was all built in the period 1897-1900, with a 475 km extension from Atbara to Port Sudan which was constructed between 1904 and 1906), there was never a railway between Aswan and Wadi Halfa, i.e. a distance of ca. 320 km. In other words, in 15 years (1890-1906), the English built in Egypt and Sudan railways that were ca. 2000 km long, but they ‘could’ not construct a small section of just 300 km! This simple observation reveals the malignant intentions of the colonial rulers quite well.
Egyptian national railways
Sudan railways
The Chinese-Egyptian military intervention in Sudan should not end with the consolidation of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan as the new president of the country and with the elimination of the Dagalo forces. After the Janjaweed bloodthirsty gangsters are extradited to the International Criminal Court for crimes against the Mankind in Darfur and generally across the country, the leadership of Sudan, Egypt and China must launch multilayered negotiations, involving governmental, entrepreneurial, military, and academic-educational authorities, in order to both, reconstruct Sudan from scratch and fully interconnect the vast country with Egypt and China.
Two highways and two railways have to link the two countries through both, the Valley of the Nile and the Red Sea coastland. In addition, two Chinese high speed railways have to be launched in order to link the first, Khartoum to Dongola, Abu Simbel, Nag Hammadi, Cairo, Alexandria, Mersa Matruh and El Salloum (in the Mediterranean coast nearby the Libyan borders), and the second, Khartoum to Atbara, Port Sudan, Shalatayn, Mersa Alam, Hurgada, Suez and Cairo.
China and Sudan shall sign agreements similar to those co-signed by Beijing and Cairo (as per above Part III), and Khartoum shall offer (in terms of a 99-year lease) two sizeable military footholds to China, the first in the Red Sea coastland south of Suakin and north of Tokar, and the second in the North Darfur province (the official term is ‘state’) of Sudan, north of El Fashir, the provincial capital.

V. Joint Chinese-Egyptian Military Operations in Libyaand the Perspectives of a Chinese-Egyptian-Libyan Alliance
Having averted the prevalence of chaos in Sudan and having established a tripartite partnership in the South, Egypt will definitely have to put an end to the disastrous conditions of division, conflict and tribalism that have prevailed in Libya over the past 13 years.
Following an early agreement with Khalifa Haftar, who was appointed (2015) commander of the armed forces loyal to the Libyan House of Representatives, units of the Egyptian and the (based-in Egypt) Chinese armies shall enter Libya and fight alongside with units of the LNA to eradicate the unrepresentative, shadowy, Tripoli-based governmental structure, which has become the tool of the destructive colonial English policies in North Africa. Entering in an agreement with Brigadier General Saddam Haftar and his father, the Chinese and the Egyptians will be able to soon help consolidate Libya and bring the country closer to the Egyptian-Sudanese tandem.
Libya, May 2020
Libya 2024
Eliminating Islamist and Wahhabi thugs from the Libyan South (notably the Kufra and Murzuq districts) and striking a deal with Tuareg militias of Ghat in Libya’s southwestern extremities, the new national government will have to manage to reestablish peace, civil order, and proper national statehood at last. With the help of China and Egypt, Libya will finally be able to move out of the colonial conditions in which the country was engulfed for too long. Background:
Setting the sound foundations of a long-term, non-colonial, multilateral partnership, China, Egypt and Libya shall address issues that date back to the times of colonial divisions and exploitation. Two highways and two railways have to link the Valley of the Nile with Libya, the first alongside the Mediterranean Sea coastline and the second through the desert; from Alexandria, Mersa Matruh, and El Salloum to Tobruk, Benghazi, Sirte, Misrata, Tripoli and Zuwara (near the Tunisian border), the construction of a highway and a railway will surely help exponentially increase the interconnection, interdependence and interoperability of the two countries, thus opening a new era of local, regional and worldwide cooperation. Similarly, the construction of a highway and a railway connecting Luxor, Nag Hammadi, Kharga Oasis, and Dakhla Oasis to Kufra, Murzuq, Sabha, Hun and Sirte will effectively contribute to the same goal, bringing together Egypt’s South and Libya’s South, while also lessening the distance between Libya’s southern extremities and the major cities on the coastline.
Furthermore, China and Libya shall sign agreements similar to those co-signed by Beijing and Khartoum (as per above); according to the terms, Tripoli, as the capital of a reunified Libya, shall offer (in terms of a 99-year lease) two sizeable military footholds to China, the first in the Mediterranean coastland west of Tripoli and the second in the country’s southwestern extremities, namely in Ghat District (Fezzan region).

My articles about the Russia – Ukraine conflict generated vivid reactions from many readers and several among them wrote to me in order to ask about several topics or comment on my approach and description. A long correspondence ensued, and at times it helped me better feel how readers perceive different issues and understand my criticism of several practices or developments.
I. Introduction
Numerous recent speeches given or articles and books published by leading statesmen like Xi Jinping, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Vladimir Putin, Wang Yi, Dmitri Medvedev, Narendra Modi, and many others underscore the need to establish a new, multipolar world order and thus take mankind to the next stage of comprehensive, multilateral development and progress. An important part of this discourse is dedicated to the need of de-Westernization or de-Occidentalization. The topic is being now discussed in the foremost venues of the BRICS member states and in other international bodies. I herewith mention as examples the Valdai Discussion Club (est. 2004) and the Valdai Club Foundation (est. 2011), which manages the Club’s projects.
In his article “A New Era of De-Westernization Has Begun” (6 January 2023), Valdai Club expert Wang Wen made it clear that “the political equivalence structure between the West and the non-West is increasingly strengthened and is becoming an important feature of world politics in the third decade of the 21st century. Of course, the world in 2023 will not be mellow, but in any case, amid the “de-Westernization”, major changes unseen in a century will continue to evolve in an irreversible way, writes”. https://valdaiclub.com/a/highlights/a-new-era-of-de-westernization/
Although the need for de-Westernization is evident and highly acclaimed across Asia, Africa, Latin and -notably- Eastern Europe, it is not quite sure that all people mean the same connotation when using this term. I don’t suggest that there are opposite approaches to this issue, but many people still fail to fathom the depth and the width of the de-Westernization that is needed for nations across the Earth to finally achieve national identity, cultural integrity, political independence, and economic self-determination. Many people limit unconsciously their approach and efforts within politics; but there a major danger is lurking.
Does it really matter whether all the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe are politically, militarily, economically and financially independent from the block of the Western European and North American states that colonized (and, in the process, Westernized) almost all the other nations of the world?
I would even ask the following:
Does it really matter whether all the countries of Western Europe and North America collapse and disappear from the surface of the Earth?
With the former colonizers dissolved and with Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe politically, militarily, economically and financially de-Westernized, still all these countries will indeed be inhabited by mere ‘copies’ of Western citizens and Westernized automatons or homunculi, if the de-Westernization effort fails to be as deep and as wide needed at the levels of academic and intellectual life, scientific research, education, socio-behavioral system, culture, mentality, and even religion and spirituality. This is so, because a Muslim incorporated into or accommodated within the Western system of values, principles, concepts and worldview will de facto function as a non-Muslim either he fasts, prays and has no extramarital relations.

What is De-Occidentalization for Russia, Asia, Africa and Latin America?
In your school, you learn about the Kurukshetra battle (Mahabharata) – and not about the insignificant battle of Thermopylae
In your school, you learn about Gan Bao’s Soushen Ji (here in a Ming copy ca. 1550), which is a compendium of legends and narratives concerning the spiritual universe that was first written around the middle of the 4th c. CE – and not about Seneca’s Hercules furens (Mad Hercules)
In your school, you learn about the Annals of Ramses III and the narratives about his victories over the Sea Peoples that determined the World History – and not about the absurd lies that the Carian (non-Greek) traveler Herodotus wrote about the unimportant wars between a few Ancient Greek states and the invading armies of the Iranian Emperor Darius
In your school, you learn about Enuma Elish, the Assyrian-Babylonian Epic of Creation (four tablets in cuneiform in the upper picture), and Atrahasis (also known as Ut Napishtim), the archetypal, Mesopotamian Noah, whose epic (see one part in the lower picture) is at the origin of all later Biblical and Islamic traditions – and not about Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey or Virgil’s Aeneid
In your school, you learn about Kartir, the great Zoroastrian reformer and founder of Mazdeism (the Sassanid times’ reformulation of the Zoroastrian faith), imperial high priest, theoretician and mystic whose Celestial Voyage antedates that of prophet Muhammad (Mi’raj) – and not about the petty philosophers of Ancient Ionia, Macedonia, Thrace and Greece, who proved to be unable to fathom the spiritual universe in its true dimensions
In your school, you learn about the eschatological Hittite Epic of Ullikummi – and not about the racist anti-Macedonian discourses of the Athenian demagogue Demosthenes
In your school, you learn about the Ashoka edict (on the Delhi-Topra pillar) – and not about Thucydides’ worthless narrative concerning the incessant wars among the petty kings and politicians of the tiny cities-states of Ancient Greece
In your school, you learn about the Ancient Egyptian Holy Book Amduat that details events taking place in the Hereafter – and not about Julius Caesar’s boring historical description about how Romans killed one another, before massacring the inhabitants of Gaul
In your school, you learn about the Ancient Egyptian Expedition to Punt (Somalia) that was undertaken (ca. 1475 BCE) by Admiral Nehesy and the Imperial Fleet of Pharaoh Hatshepsut and became the object of a long narrative (texts and reliefs) inscribed on the walls of the first female pharaoh’s mortuary temple at Deir el Bahari, Luxor West – and not about the wrong stories of Diodorus of Sicily or Arrian’s description of Alexander’s military campaign
In your school, you learn about the Chinese Dunhuang Star map, the first known star chart (ca. 700 CE) from China, which contains the data collected from the three different schools of Astronomy that existed there – and not about Pausanias’ Description of Greece that has very limited value.
In your school, you learn about the Vendidad, which is the part of the Iranian Holy Book of Avesta that contains fragments from the discussion between Ahura Mazda and Zardosht (Zoroaster) concerning possible ways for humans to confound spirits and demons – and not Ancient Greek mythology where the Divine World is desecrated by Ancient Greeks’ fake and idiotic gods that were poorly conceptualized after sinful human behaviors and examples
In your school, you learn about the Dhammapada (collection of Buddha’s admonitions; here written in Gandhari language and Kharosthi writing) – and not about the verbose, worthless writings and the absurd scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas that constitute a major reason for the collapse of religiosity in the Western world
In your school, you learn about the Manichaean Evangelion (here as it is in the Cologne Mani-Codex), which was one of the seven holy books of the Manichaeans, who spread from NW Africa and Western Europe to North Africa to China – and not about Dante and his heinous Divine Comedy
In your school, you learn about the greatest historian of Islamic times Tabari (9th – 10th c. CE) and his History of Prophets and Kings (here portrayed in a miniature of the historical Farsi translation of his monumental opus by Amirak Bal’ami) – and not about Edward Gibbon, an 18th c. English historian, who wrote only to distort, adapt Roman History to English colonial interests, and propagate concepts of white supremacism and racism
In your school, you learn about the greatest epic poet of Islamic times Ferdowsi (10 th c.) and his majestic Shahnameh (‘Book of Kings’) that was called ‘the Iranian Quran'(here a book cover with a miniature from the Shahnameh especially handwritten and decorated for Shah Tahmasp in the 16th c.) – and not about 17th c. French Classicist Theater
In your school, you learn about the great innovations and inventions brought about by the great Turanian scholar Al Farabi (9th-10th c.), who established a groundbreaking Zodiac chart (left) and conceived an eight string ‘ud/lute (right) – and not the fallacious calculations of Nicholas Copernicus.

II. How Western Europeans westernized Russians for 300 years
Russia is an excellent paradigm in this regard; as land, it was never colonized by any Western colonial country. Yet, today, Russia is extensively westernized and must be systematically and effectively de-Westernized. The discussion I had with an astute Russian reader sheds light on the innumerable niches of the de-Westernization (or detoxification or decontamination). I therefore publish it in its largest part.
– English Translation of a Comment Made by a Russian Reader –
Hello dear Shamsuddin.
I read your articles with numbers “IV” and “V” (while waiting for public transport and on the road). Be careful when referring to information from Wikipedia in your articles! I say this because this site regularly misrepresents information about my country.
Your article with the number “V” reminded me of the book by the Russian philosopher Povarnin “How to read books” and the American writer Adler “How to read the book”. After getting acquainted with these books, I realized that before my attitude to books was like to fast food: “quick breakfast / lunch”. And that I didn’t read a single book “correctly”.
After reading article “IV”, where you described Ancient Greece not as a State, but simply as a group of different people, I now can’t wait for you to read the book I recommended. They also show the “inconvenient” truth about Ancient Greece.
At the end of the article, I was struck by your idea of abolishing Shakespeare in school. I agree with this only if you meant that when you are young you cannot understand great works. To do this, you need to be older and so that life will harden you a little.
Last question.
There are authors who are unknown in Russia, or only one book out of many books of each of them has been translated. Could you evaluate which of these authors are “harmful” to the Russian public, and which should be known?
Sincerely,
Fedor.
————— My Response —————–
Dear Fedor,
Thank you for your points that will certainly empower me to better present my approach and to describe several hitherto undiscussed topics!
Reading and writing in transportation means, with or without a laptop (I never had and I will never have a smart telephone), has been for me a time-honored tradition; it involves trains, boats, ferryboats, airplanes, interurban buses, metro, trolleybuses, and buses. Also: taxis and private cars (of friends)!
As it happens with every series of articles, the complete idea about my approach you would get reading all of my five hitherto published articles about Russia, Ukraine and the world. My recent article-proposal for a new UN organization belongs -in a way- to this series, which is -never forget it!- ongoing. All the same, articles IV and V are quite representative; in the former, I expand on spiritual topics {because there is spiritual dimension in this conflict/the difference between Earth and Sea viewed as primordial elements of the Creation (in forming people and societies opposite to one another: ‘continental’ and ‘maritime’)}, whereas in the latter, I focus on educational issues and I expand on how to perceive History of Northern Asia and Northeastern Europe as History of Russia.
Now that you read article no V, you can easily read article no II, which is an entire repositioning of the History of Russia; this means that article no II serves as the foundation for article no IV. In it, I expand more on the long and wide historical continuity that you must focus on, instead of minimizing Russia’s history to an ethnic narrative of ‘Slavic’ tribes that accepted Christianity in Kievan Rus. Your History, the History of all Russians, is far larger than that; Western linguists, Slavologists and historians did their best to limit your view of your past and to make you see it as a ‘racial history’ (or an ‘ethnic history’ if you want) only to your disadvantage. History is not a narrative of ethnic groups and races, but a description of cultures and civilizations.
By making you focus on a limited past and by dragging you in a way that you use the racial-racist approach to your past (that they invented for others – haha! but not for themselves!!), they subtly bring you to a frontal clash with Turanian (Turkic) nations and with Muslims; this will be disastrous for Russia and for the entire world.
You must understand (and I don’t speak personally but generally for all Russians, your government included) that, for the evil Western forces, ‘politics’ starts with History, continues with Education, advances with Culture, and ends up with Political Philosophy and Ideology, which forms the context of what people call now ‘politics’, but in reality is ‘governance’.
What is called today ‘Western world’ is a fallacy that started with Renaissance and the early colonial empires, namely Spain and Portugal, but when it comes to the way modern countries are governed, the two Iberian kingdoms are obsolete forms of state that are closer to Ivan IV’s Muscovy, to the Eastern Roman Empire or even to Sassanid Iran. The structure of contemporary states originates from end of 17th c. Holland and post-Cromwell England. In this evil form of tyranny, everything is utilized in (i.e. distorted in order to be fit to) politics.

It is a critical and quite odd historical moment, because the two armies stood on the opposite banks of the river and, in spite of tricks and threats, no battle was fought, and at the end, the two armies withdrew. It is not correct to consider this date as the beginning of Muscovite independence, because the Muscovites continued being vassal to the Tatars of Crimea. The overall situation was far more complicated, because Poland sided with the Tatars of Sarai, whereas Ivan III was supported by the Khan of Crimea; even more so, because the Great Khan was later killed by the Khan of Siberia and his Nogay Turanian allies.
Muscovy at the time of Ivan Kalita (early 14th c.), painting by Apollinary Vasnetsov (19th c.): apparently an Asiatic town that had nothing to do with Western European norms.
At a time of advanced Westernization, the famous Russian painter Apollinary Vasnetsov (1856-1933) felt the need to represent, based historical accounts, ‘Muscovy at the time of Ivan III’, thus fully revealing the entirely Oriental and Asiatic nature of his fatherland.
‘The Last Minutes of Metropolitan Philip’ painted by Aleksandr Nikanorovich Novokoltsev (1853-1919) in 1889 was the way the illustrious Russian painter evoked the awaken in the 15th c. Muscovite spirituality that had gone extinct in late 19th c. Imperial Russia due to the multi-layered and advanced Westernization; the painting also reflected the wrongdoings of Ivan IV the Terrible, who ordered the assassination of Philip II (1507-1569) because the thirteenth (13th) Metropolitan of Muscovy (1567-1568) rejected to bless him due to the Oprichnina system of persecution against the boyars (the wealthy and powerful landlords).
‘Ivan the Terrible and Associates’ painted in 1903 by Andrey Ryabushkin (1861-1904): there was nothing Western in Ivan IV.
Andrey Ryabushkin’s ‘Wedding train in 17th c. Moscow’ (1901) demonstrates that Russia was an culturally Asiatic realm.
‘Streltsy’ (the accent being on the last syllable / ‘Стрельцы’: infantry carrying firearms) painted in 1907 by Sergey Vasilievich Ivanov (1864-1910): one more evidence that the Westernized Russian elites of the beginning of the 20th c. felt an inexorable nostalgia for their totally non-Western past and heritage (Streltsy existed as military units from the mid-16th to the 18th c.)
‘The Morning of the Streltsy Execution’ painting (1881) by Vasily Ivanovich Surikov (1848-1916) helped spectators recall a critical historical event that took place in 1698, when Russia had almost no Western cultural or imperial attribute: the great uprising of the glorious military unit, which was due to the fact that the Streltsy rejected the vicious project of Westernization that Peter I wanted to introduce and the disastrous (because uncontrolled) presence of foreign (Western) advisers. Quite indicatively, an English soldier, Patrick Leopold Gordon of Auchleuchries (1635-1699) commanded the army that killed the genuine Russian officers in battle. All those, who were not killed in the Battle of Voskresensky (Resurrection) Monastery, which is also known as New Jerusalem Monastery, were executed in Moscow (between September 1698 and February 1699): more than 1000 noble soldiers – early victims of Westernization.
If you think that you can oppose, England, France and the Western world at the ‘political’ level, you are deceived and you will fail, because it was ‘politics’ to their elites
a. how to Occidentalize / Westernize Peter I;
b. how to progressively detach the executive of the Russian Empire from the Eastern Roman (falsely called ‘Byzantine’) imperial tradition and to drag it to sheer imitation of the Western pseudo-kingdoms;
c. how to corrupt the Russian elites by initiating them to various orders particular to the Freemasons, the Jesuits, and even the Zionists;
d. how to attach the Russian academic and intellectual elites to the fallacies of Renaissance, Classicism, Hellenism, Enlightenment, European Classical Music, and the Greco-Roman foundations of Modern European White Supremacism and Racism;
e. how to engulf Russians into Pan-Slavism in order to bring Russia in clash with Germany and Austria-Hungary;
f. how to ‘teach’ the Russian elites that ‘being Christian Orthodox’ meant ‘being anti-Muslim’ and thus engulf them in wars against the Iranians and the Ottomans; and
g. how to link Russia ‘historically-culturally’ with Classical Greece and Rome (which is wrong and disastrous) and how disconnect Russia ‘historically-culturally’ from Ancient Orient (Caucasus, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, Iran, Central Asia, China and Indus River Valley), which is also erroneous and calamitous.

The Westernized Russian elites and their non-Russian venues
Peterhof Palace, St. Petersburg: Peter I’s ‘response’ to Louis XIV’s Versailles. All the same, this conventional approach is an oxymoron indeed, because in reality, the monumental palace was a ‘French’ (not ‘Russian’) response to something French!

The Greek Hall of Pavlovsk Palace
State Bedroom at Pavlovsk Palace
This is the Freemasonic ‘chapel’ in the Catherine Palace, St. Petersburg; the quasi-totality of her empire’s Christian Orthodox population would not find it proper to pray there. Along with Westernization in Architecture, Art and Religion comes the historical falsification that took the form of the Occidentalization of Russian History. Leading example in this regard is Nikolay Karamzin (Николай Михайлович Карамзин; 1766-1826) who wrote his 12-volume History of the Russian State (История государства Российского) only to break with the earlier Russian historiographical tradition that was exemplified by Vasily Tatishchev (1686-1750). Both distinguished Russian historians are described as proponents of autocracy, but this is very erroneous; actually, it looks like a deliberate effort to confuse specialists and average readers. Karamzin’s advanced Westernization made him write after French prose style and his exposure to Occidental post-Renaissance concepts made him introduce alien and corrupt elements (like Hellenism), insult Ivan IV Terribl,e and slander the true Russian identity – only to the benefit of the dark forces that incessantly promoted Russia’s rapid Westernization. What went wrong with Karamzin? This is easy to answer: in 1789, he traveled to Germany, France, Switzerland and England. This was an enormous mistake. He should have traveled to the Ottoman Empire, Qajar Iran, Mughal India, and Qing China instead.

III. Unreliable Wikipedia
You mention the Wikipedia, the encyclopedia of sophisticated distortion, alteration, historical falsification, and adaptation of the historical truth to the ideological-political needs of the Western world’s ruling elites.
You misunderstood my attitude to constantly add numerous Wikipedia links to my articles.
I do not “refer to information from Wikipedia”; I only mention links to Wikipedia entries, so that my readers find them easily, go there, make their own search, check the notes, sources and bibliography, and thus have access to more specialized info that they may want, after reading some of my points.
As I do so quite often, in several articles I have already stated that I disagree with the contents of most of the Wikipedia entries that I mention. Now, your point makes me understand that I should perhaps prepare a 3-5 lines text about this issue, and copy / republish it in each and every one of my articles.
IV. Reading texts & reading in-between the lines of texts
“How to read books”! You raise an enormous topic.
Basically, you mean that one person must also read in-between the lines of a text.
That is very correct.
The real essence of the reality is never in the words of a text.
In fact, a word -in itself- is almost nothing.
Semantics is a field of ignorance and paranoia.
Ancient Greek philosophers’ opinions on these topics were childish and nonsensical; this was due to their low level of understanding the Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Iranian priests next to whom they studied for years.
Realities do not exist because humans exist; they exist on their own.
Only God knows the purpose of every element of the Creation, and the interminable possibilities that they have to amalgamate with one another. You can never know anything before duly identifying the composition of the elements that constituted it: Ether, Soft Waters, Earth, Air and Salt Waters.
Nothing is signified or denoted by a human; everything is signified per se – by itself. When someone speaks, describes and narrates about something, he only shows what he understood from a tiny part which belongs to a world created by the Almighty God. Our understanding is merely our revelation: what we reveal (and therefore represent to us and others) out of the infinite universe that God created. As God is invisible, the link of the tools that a speaker or narrator uses is invisible. Yet, without this link, all the words of a sentence are meaningless and can be re-arranged in a way so that they mean, reflect and describe other realities.
All the same, at this point, I should add that, in reality, language is not necessary for communication; it is only a low means of communication. Animals and even insects communicate with one another better than humans do. This fact deletes the stupidity of the idiots like Aristotle, and at the same time it demonstrates that longer we stick to rationalism and the Aristotelian thought, farther from the truth we will be and deeper into wars and misunderstanding we will be plunged.
A man, who has not awakened in the spiritual universe, can never have a clue of what exists in the material universe; this is so because nothing was created in the material universe without a counterpart (soul, spirit, etc.) in the spiritual universe. For this reason, the sciences of all the ancient Oriental nations were comprehensive systems of learning that combined spiritual and material research; ancient scholars never dissociated the spiritual aspect from its material complement of an item, point or issue. Consequently, every man reads a text differently from another, according to their progress in being re-connected with their soul.
Otherwise, one needs to stop in almost every line of a text and make questions about what he reads in order to extract further details and, above all, reach and grasp the deeper meaning of the text.
You are lucky that you realized this issue, namely that you had not read even one single book correctly, before you understood that this serious trouble was real. Most of the people do never reach that level. Even worse, in our days, there are many professors, specialists, experts, researchers and intellectuals who do not reach the point that you mention. They then project their mentality and knowledge, opinion and predilection onto the text that they read, and they don’t truly read the text that they have in front of their eyes, but an imaginative text that they create by failing to separate their personal delusion (i.e. their sick ego/I say ‘sick’ because ego is always so) from the true text that they supposedly read.
V. Rejection of the fallacy of Hellenism: starting point of every effort of De-Westernization
There is no ‘inconvenient truth’ about Ancient Greece. Your sentence is a minimal understatement.
In fact, there is a devastating truth, as documented by numerous sources, which simply deletes once forever the dreadful forgery ‘Ancient Greece’, which never existed.
Whereas Ivan IV and the Muscovites of his time knew the truth, i.e. knew nothing about Ancient Greece, you live within an enormous falsehood that had started being elaborated in Western Europe; thence it was diffused already in the last days of Tatar-Muslim prevalence in Russia. However, it took some time for this falsehood to be diffused outside Western Europe, which is the region where it was produced. The period of the diffusion of this enormous fallacy we call ‘colonialism’. Russia was never colonized at the military level, but even at the times of Romanov, it was colonized at many levels, namely political, economic, socio-behavioral, artistic, educational, academic and intellectual.
The Western European falsehood about Ancient Greece does not only involve distortion and misinterpretation of Ancient Greek and Latin sources, but it also includes systematic and extensive concealment of other historical sources. Now, this concealment is disproportionate, extraordinary and unprecedented. It starts with the Western scholars, who first explored Anatolia, North-Northwestern Africa, Egypt, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, Iran, Caucasus, Central Asia, Sudan and Eastern Africa, Yemen, India, and China. These people, before traveling to explore, had studied all Ancient Greek and Latin texts about those lands, peoples, monuments, faiths and civilizations. As you can understand, these views and standpoints were external, irrelevant, erroneous and at times nonsensical. In fact, they did not consist in an authoritative source about those nations, empires and histories.
Herodotus’ and Plato’s descriptions of Iran and Egypt are ridiculous, idiotic and utterly valueless; they have the ‘value’ that an ignorant traveler’s idea has about a land that he has no skills, stamina and predisposition to duly study. The same is valid for other Ancient Greek travelers’ narratives about Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Iran, Anatolia, Egypt and other regions. Those guys did not know even the correct terms to describe the achievements and the traits of the great civilizations they wrote about, let alone the vast theoretical-spiritual background that these terms reflected.
Beyond that, there is an even more disastrous comparison: although there are -in Ancient Oriental sources- many references to the various and different nations that modern European scholars name “Ancient Greeks”, these passages are relatively few, brief and secondary because simply the Ancient Ionians, Aeolians, Achaeans and Dorians were not civilized enough to possibly attract the interest of the Hittites, the Assyrians, the Hurrians, the Babylonians, the Canaanites, the Egyptians and the Iranians. Ionia and Aeolia in Western Anatolia produced a civilization lower than that of the Phrygians and the Lydians who were better documented in Assyrian cuneiform sources. Even more importantly, Greece, i.e. the most confined part of the Balkan Peninsula, south of Mount Olympus, was a peripheral land far from the great centers of civilization.
Only when a serious trouble originated from those lands, like the Peleset-Pelasgian-Philistine reaction against the Achaean siege and destruction of Troy, we have longer descriptions in Oriental historical sources. This was the case of the ‘Sea Peoples’, as the Ancient Egyptians called the Peleset and their allies, Trojans included. When, as allies of the Hittites, the Achaeans were asked to attack Troy and they achieved to conquer the highly important city, the reaction of the enemies of the Achaeans, namely the Pelasgians, was forceful.

The Anti-Achaean and Anti-Hittite Pelasgians formed an alliance and then rebelled against the Achaeans and ruined them (which is mentioned in the Ancient Egyptian texts and archaeologically evidenced as the conflagration of the Mycenaean fortresses), attacked Hattusha and destroyed the Hittite Empire, invaded the Canaanite coast of Eastern Mediterranean, notably Ugarit (a small kingdom but the Ancient World’s greatest library and center of Translation), and Amurru (today’s Syria), and ultimately attacked Egypt (Kemet).
There Ramses III, after three battles, was able to destroy and disperse the Sea Peoples. The Peleset/Pelasgians, who took part in the invasions, settled in the coast of Southern Canaan and became known as the Philistines / Palestinians. Ionia and Aeolia in Western Anatolia and Ionians, Achaeans an Dorians in the South Balkans (‘Greece’) were plunged in abject misery and barbarism for 400-450 years (1200-750 BCE). When the epic cycle’s most famous poet Homer wrote about the deeds of the Achaeans, he in fact galvanized his contemporary fellow men and called them to form kingdoms and states after the Achaean example and to propagate the pro-Achaean and anti-Pelasgian version of History and narrative (rhapsody) that he composed. But all this was marginal, unimportant and trivial to the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Iranians.
So, this is the disastrous comparison I spoke about earlier:
1- the highly civilized nations of the Ancient Orient did not bother to describe the petty stories, absurd regimes, and endless strives that characterized all those uncivilized and peripheral tribes; and
2- the hardly civilized, ignorant and uneducated Ionians, Aeolians and Dorians, originating from tiny cities-states, which were at times smaller than the area of a major Egyptian temple (like that of Karnak, Luxor), traveled to study in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Iran (6th – 4th c. BCE), but failed to duly conceive the spiritual and the material universes after the local spirituality, wisdom, science and imperial culture.
That is why, when these people returned back to Ionia, Aeolia, Thrace, Macedonia, Illyria and Greece, they called themselves ‘philosophers’, i.e. ‘friends of wisdom’. In reality, this term is very modest, if not pejorative; this is so because it means that they were not ‘sophoi’ (wise) and they did not possess ‘sophia’ (wisdom). So, they were merely ‘philosophoi’. This means that all those guys, like Thales, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Democritus, Plato and others (who have been propelled to undeserved consideration and absurd evaluation by Western European scholars and intellectuals), knew very well that, in front of an Egyptian, Babylonian or Iranian (Zoroastrian) high priest, hierophant and mystic, they were humble and puerile schoolchildren.
Now, the low position of the peoples of South Balkans and Western Anatolia opposite the great Oriental civilizations is extensively reflected in the Ancient Greek texts. Plutarch wrote about the Ancient Egyptian Iwnw Heliopolitan religion (involving Osiris, Isis, Horus, etc.). But no Egyptian priest bothered to write about the petty cults of the clownish pseudo-divinities of the Ancient Greeks (Athena, Hera, Hermes, Poseidon, Zeus, etc.). The reason for this is double:
1- in many cases, the names of the Ancient Greek ‘gods’ were of Oriental origin, and
2- in every case, the cult was weaker and the spirituality nonexistent.
In striking opposition to the aforementioned historical realities, the 19th – 20th c. Western European explorers of colonial times, after their discoveries, excavations, decipherments, representations, essays, treatises and publications about Ancient Oriental civilizations, continued having the Greco-centric and Romano-centric approach that they had prior to their expeditions, researches, vast collection of documentation, and remarkable knowledge acquisition.
Although the texts and the monuments that they unearthed totally canceled their earlier knowledge (which was based on Ancient Greek, Latin and Hebrew sources), the Western European Orientalists continued preposterously viewing the anterior (the Ancient Oriental civilizations) through the eyes and the criteria of the posterior which was apparently lower and corrupted.
This absurd attitude only corroborates the fact that what the Western European scholars saw as ‘Ancient Greece and Rome’ was not what is documented in and reflected from Ancient Greek and Roman sources, but their biased delusions and preconceived schemes of racist nature.
For this reason, the Western European scholars did not modify their measures, standards and approaches, after the discoveries made over the past 250 years. They still stick to an absolutely obsolete and fully delusional model that -even worse- they want to impose onto Russia, India, China, Africa, Latin America, and all the Muslims of the world.
You understand of course that this model is false and disastrous in two dimensions:
1- first, it is an evolutionist model that serves to propagate the false concept that in the past the humans were uncivilized and that they progressed gradually until they reached the modern times, and the Western sciences. This is entirely wrong, because the Sumerians, the Akkadians and the Egyptians before 4500 years had spiritual and physical capacities that they gradually lost. It goes without saying that Western scholars want to hide this truth.
2- second, the Greco-Roman model that they intended and tried for more than 550 years to impose encompasses all the evil and corrupt elements that the forces, which selected it, need to diffuse and impose worldwide.
The clash between Orient and Occident is a fake, and that’s why they needed to diffuse Aeschylus’ sickness, paranoia and anti-Iranian racism and Herodotus’ silly lies and heinous bias.
The case of Ctesias clearly helps us understand that the ancient manuscripts must have been drastically tempered with by Catholic monks who copied them. So, there is an extra aspect to examine, analyze and comprehend in this regard.
———————————————————–
Ctesias could not make mistakes; others put lies in his mouth!
Behistun, NW Iran; the cliff with Darius I’s relief and inscriptions
Behistun (Farsi: Bisotun / Old Iranian: Bagastana, i.e. ‘the place of God’ / Ancient Greek: Βαγίστανον όρος) was mentioned by Ctesias, who totally misunderstood the inscription, attributing it to the ‘Babylonian’ Queen Semiramis and describing it as a dedication to Zeus! In reality, the text is part of the Annals of Emperor Darius I the Great, duly detailing his victory over a rebellion; the Iranian monarch dedicated his triumph to Ahura Mazda. However, Semiramis seems to have been an entirely misplaced Ancient Greek legend about the historical Queen of Assyria (but not Babylonia!) Shammuramat. The Assyrian queen was the consort of Shamshi Adad V; she has also been mentioned in the original, Assyrian cuneiform sources as co-regent during the early phase of her son Adad-nirari III’s reign (811-783 BCE). But the Assyrian Queen had nothing to do with Mount Behistun and the Achaemenid Iranian inscription.
If we now analyze the extraordinary errors made by Ctesias on this topic, while also taking into consideration the fact that he lived long in Iran where he served as physician to Artaxerxes II, we will find ourselves in front of impossible inconsistencies. Apparently, he was fluent in Achaemenid Iranian (taking into account that he was involved in the negotiations between the Iranians and the Greeks after the Battle at Cunaxa) or he had excellent interpreters (since this was crucial for the emperor’s health). With all these points confirmed, we have every reason to ask the following: how did Ctesias make so ridiculous mistakes when visiting Behistun and getting information about the holy mountain and the local reliefs and inscriptions?
First, it is quite doubtful that any Iranian, Babylonian or Elamite historian, erudite scholar, and knowledgeable courtier knew anything (or even had access to textual documentation) about the historical Assyrian Queen, who lived 400 years before Artaxerxes II. This means that not a single interlocutor of Ctesias would ever associate the Behistun inscription with her.
Second, and even more deplorable, either Ctesias was fluent in Achaemenid Iranian or he relied on excellent translators and interpreters, it is absolutely impossible that any person related to the imperial administration would ever attribute the Behistun inscription and reliefs to anyone else except Darius I the Great.
This concludes the case about the fallacy that average people and academics alike believe today as ‘Ancient Greek History’: it is an entirely fallacious fabrication of the Catholic monks who copied and in the process distorted the ancient manuscripts, replacing truths with lies, eliminating trustworthy narratives, and inventing silly stories to put in the mouth of ancient authors. Ctesias’ texts that have been saved down to our time were systematically and unrepentantly distorted by the pseudo-Christians monks of Western Europe.
———————————————————–
The endless wars, conflicts and divisions of the so-called Ancient Greek states were superbly reflected in Thucydides’ calamitous descriptions and historical narratives; but that was exactly what the forces that selected it needed. By making it part of the Western European education, they ensured interminable strives and bloodshed in Europe and, by means of colonialism, worldwide.
The utterly Anti-Christian, Greco-Roman model serves also to propagate corruption, immorality and extreme obscenity; several Ancient Greek temples were in reality brothels in which blasphemous orgies were practiced by the idiotic followers of various pseudo-divinities that were miserably fashioned in the Antiquity after the human weaknesses. The focus on Ancient Greece that the biased Western European intellectuals attempted and the modern pseudo-historical dogma of Hellenism are the main responsible for all the problems of our time. As disruptive and destructive elements, they must be cast away by all societies that intend to advance, progress and still preserve their identity, integrity and morality. Unfortunately, the Ancient Greeks had none.
VI. Why Shakespeare and the Western European Theater must be removed from the Russian, Chinese, Indian, African, Muslim and Latin American Education
People accept customarily what is offered to them as education. It is part of what is called ‘conventional wisdom’. But this is extremely erroneous.
So, there is first a question to make about the topic; why, on Earth, should the education of a Russian or Uzbek or Chinese or Indian or Somali or Algerian or Peruvian include texts written by an English author?
Second, in the modern Western world, the value and the importance of everything depends on Marketing. You know about the advertising campaigns of Coca Cola, but you don’t know anything about the advertising campaigns of Shakespeare, which were undertaken by the English embassies, diplomats, academics, etc. The latter lasted longer – clearly.
Third, there are many people nowadays, who realize that something went wrong in the West. Unfortunately, the entire West is a wrong, sick and devious construct whose elaboration spanned over 500-600 years. Now, if someone thinks that all the mistakes, the biased conclusions, and the preconceive ideas occur only at the political level, he simply does not have a clue about how this world functions.
Shakespeare and theater in general were instrumental in the deliberate corruption and decadence of the world. Colonialism is not mere occupation of territories; mainly it is projection (or imposition) of one nation’s culture onto another nation’s culture. Now, if the colonizing power’s culture is in an intentionally corrupted and putrefied condition, colonialism turns out to be a real contamination.
Gillis Mostaert, Passion play in Antwerp; 2nd half of the 16th c.: Christian ‘theater’
There was no theater in Christian times; it was prohibited. And for a very good reason! It was denounced as obscene, vulgar, salacious and disastrous for the moral standards of a Christian society. The only sort of theater that existed in Christian societies was the representation of the Passion of Jesus. Similarly, the sole type of theater that existed in some Muslim societies was the representation of Hussein’s martyrdom in Kerbala; these theatrical acts are performed in independent buildings known as Hussainiya. About:
Islamic ‘theater’ (ta’zieh/تعزیه): painting from Lukhnow, Mughal India (ca. 1800)
Public representation of Hussein’s martyrdom in Kerbala (680 CE) in Shiraz, Iran (1977)
Theater did not exist in monotheistic cultures and societies, like Assyria and Iran.
Historically, Theater started in Egypt. It was a religious, eschatological theater that involved the representation / repetition of acts and stories narrated as a diachronic or supratemporal description of the Creation, the Life and the End of the Universe. Thus, by ‘acting’ / playing the roles of the major driving forces of the spiritual world, the Ancient Egyptian Iwnw Heliopolitan sacerdotal colleges believed that they truly contributed to the auspicious developments that they expected to take place at the End of Times. In a way, it was a sort of magic, and they considered as such the inner enforcement of external facts and actions (also known as the royal art of Making). Since it was entirely benevolent, they considered it as moral, because it would contribute to the re-establishment of a perfect (or paradisiacal) order that had been lost.
Ancient Egyptian Opet religious festival procession: representation available on bas reliefs
Widely diffused across the Roman Empire, the Ancient Egyptian religious festival Navigium Isidis, as envisioned in 1902 by the American painter Frederick Arthur Bridgman
Bas-reliefs with representation of the main Divine Beings of the Hermupolitan dogma (known in Ancient Greek as Ogdoad); during the religious festivals, there were theatrical acts that represented the qualities and potentialities of each of them to faithful followers who participated.
Horus, Osiris & Isis: the major driving forces of the divine world, as comprehended and proclaimed in the Ancient Egyptian Iwnw Heliopolitan religious dogma.
You can correctly assume that Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian-Babylonian, and Hittite eschatology are vast narratives of supreme spiritual endeavors. As such they are at the origin of Ancient Hebrew Biblical (and therefore Christian and Islamic) world conceptualization, worldview, cosmogony, cosmology, eschatology and soteriology. Neither the Messiah nor the Chosen People is an invention of the Ancient Hebrews; as concepts they predate the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah by 2000 years, and there is nothing strange in it. The major Ancient Oriental civilizations constitute a hitherto unequaled peak of spirituality, transcendental power, wisdom and spiritual perfection that later nations, like the Phoenicians, the Hebrews, the Iranians, the Greeks and the Romans never reached. But the History of Mankind is a narrative of falls, decay, decadence and corruption, and unfortunately those, who could build great pyramids around the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE, could not do so again 2000 years later.
Meanwhile, the formation of polytheistic religions in Babylonia, Phoenicia, Carthage and elsewhere incorporated early theatrical acts in their religious processions, but this was not anymore a human comprehension of the various aspects of the Divine and of their consequences, but a human invention of otherwise nonexistent stories, which were only useful for the spiritual enslavement of the adepts of each and every religion. In this case, the religion and the early theater turned from benevolent into malevolent, monotheism became polytheism, and moral freedom was transformed into sexual exploitation of the victims (i.e. the believers). Spiritual achievements (like levitation, teleportation, materialization/manifestation, etc.) became ‘miracles’ and the great initiates turned out to become mystical swindlers, petty magicians, and slaves of evil spiritual hierarchies.
In Ancient Greece, theater took progressively a form of moral education, but it reflected the political divisions, the tribal conflicts, and the racist character of their elites, therefore giving deliberately biased and viciously erroneous representation of the ‘Other’, notably the Iranians.
Ancient Roman amphitheater in Siracusa (Syracuse), Sicily
In Ancient Rome, the amphitheaters and the circuses soon superseded to the theater, placing the military training and martial sports at the epicenter of the public interest and entertainment. During the Christian imperial times, the interest for the martial arts continued to generate great enthusiasm, massive attendance, and personal involvement as the illustrious Constantinople Tzykanisterion (Циканистерион) testifies to. (https://wiki5.ru/wiki/Tzykanisterion) Of course, this palatial sport demonstrates a Sassanid Iranian influence on the Eastern Romans. However, it also shows that Constantinople was culturally closer to Turan and Central Asia than to Merovingian France. But the ancient Greek theater was, as I said, entirely forgotten, duly rejected, and wholeheartedly despised as a villainous endeavor and obsolete, anti-Christian activity.
The Tzykanisterion was close to the great palace of Constantinople, by the seaside
After the early diffusion of the racist, colonial and fallacious concepts and ideas of the Renaissance intellectuals and anti-Christian magicians, the rise of Classicism brought forth a return to ancient Greek themes; all the same, the movement was a very wrong imitation of partly or entirely misunderstood topics. However, the end result was a sheer degradation not only in terms of art but also with respect to Moral. This we can fully understand, if we compare the representation of a topic by Ancient Greek playwright and the distortion of the same topic by a Modern European poet. The latter is definitely more immoral, more lascivious, and more sacrilegious. By the way, this entry is very distorted and absolutely false: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classicism
Example:
Phaedra, as narrated by Euripides in Hippolytus and by Seneca the Younger in Phaedra, and
Phèdre, as represented by Racine, who was born in France a quarter century after Shakespeare came to life in England.
Morality, Theater and content degradation: Phaedra from Ancient Greece & Rome to French Classicist Theater to Hollywood Cinema

Phèdre; painting (1880) by Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889): based on Racine’s play

———————————————————–
As you understand, the issue is far wider than just one author, notably Shakespeare. It has to do with the entire modern Western European literature, art, philosophy, and intellectual-political life, which set the true foundations of today’s decayed, corrupt and infamous Western world. You will perhaps tell me that the Bolshoi Theater, like many other historical theaters built in Russia during the late 18th, the 19th, and the early 20th c., is part of the Imperial, Soviet and Republican social life of the Russians. You are right; but you surely know that the Western European Theater was not part of the Russian popular culture before the early 18th c.
Introducing the modern Western theater in Russia was a key tool of Westernization. But westernizing the non-western is tantamount to subduing, altering and controlling the de facto opponents of the cruel, racist, colonial, modern Western world.
Art played an important role in this regard; many nations worldwide were corrupted not because of the Western theater but thanks to the Western cinema. But this ‘art’, i.e. the fake art of the modern Western world, is detached from Moral, Religion, Culture and Spirituality.
But in reality, there was never a civilization in which Art was uncoupled from the moral considerations, values and principles of a specific nation. In the disreputable, heinous, racist and atheist state of Ancient Athens, which was duly destroyed by the Spartans after three decades of war, the priests denounced as heresy and blasphemy the fact that the worthless sculptor and painter Phidias dared to write his stupid name on his filthy works. There is no artistic value in an impious and sacrilegious work; such shameful works must be destroyed and pulverized.
As you see, I needed an introduction before proceeding to respond to your comments about my suggestion for removal of the English playwright from the Russian (and other) educational manuals. Now, I will focus on this poet.
Of course, you certainly have an idea about the extraordinary eulogies and the unmatched hyperboles that all the English constantly use when they refer to Shakespeare; examined without exaggerations and biases, his art hinges more on his particularity and bears witness to the mystical contents of most of his works. His plays do not allow us to openly describe him as paragon of the Western European Classicism, as it happens with Racine and his opuses. However, Shakespeare used Ancient Greek and Roman stories, myths, concepts and plots extensively.
Consequently, modern English scholars’ effort to dissociate Shakespeare from Modern European Classicism is absurd. Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Timon of Athens, Pericles Prince of Tyre, and Cymbeline, namely 8 (out of a total of 38) plays have -even in their title- a direct reference to Greco-Roman Antiquity. This makes of Shakespeare a major champion of Modern European Classicism and a very particular playwright indeed among the other Classicists.
VII. Shakespeare’s black magic trickery against the concept of Messiah, and his vicious hatred of Eschatology and Revelation
When it comes to the needs of today’s Russian Education and to the desires of all Russians to see their fatherland as a major pillar in a multipolar world free of Anglo-Saxon perfidy, madness and criminality, I have to state the following points:
First, Modern European Classicism has nothing to do with the Asiatic civilizations that shaped the ancient cultures, which flourished on today’s Russian soil from Scythians to Huns to Tatars; it is therefore improper for Russian schoolchildren to learn what is not theirs and not to study what is theirs.
Second, Shakespeare does not represent anything related to the culture, the past, the civilization, and the spiritual-intellectual heritage of the Asiatic nations that are adjacent to the Russian Federation, namely the Turks, the Armenians, the Georgians, the Iranians, the Kazakhs, the Turkmen, the Azeris, the Uzbeks, the Kyrgyz, the Tajik, the South Asiatic nations of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the Chinese, the Mongols, the Tibetans, the Uighurs, and the Koreans. We have therefore to conclude that masterpieces of the literatures of the nations are far more useful for the new Russian generation that will speak Chinese as first foreign language.
Third, there is not a shred of Christian moral in Shakespeare plays; his theatrical plays disastrously encompass unprecedented cynicism, unsurpassed narcissism, absurd arrogance, villainous scheming, abject immorality, loathsome concepts, and plenty of other very negative traits and behavioral notions that are totally unrelated to the core of the Russian soul. Quite often, Shakespeare exacerbates the negative feelings and propels evil characters to the epicenter of the plot; even worse, he does not castigate the evil-minded characters, therefore leaving the audience with the impression that no substantive punishment awaits us at the end.
Fourth, there is not a single element of Russian (or Chinese or Indian or Turanian or Iranian or African or Latin American) value, character or virtue in Shakespeare’s plays. More specifically, and with respect to Russian culture, there are no Ivan Durak, no Baba Yaga, and no three Bogatirs in Shakespeare. And more importantly, there is no Stepan Razin in English history and culture. Quite critically, at the geographical level (whi so much affects and determines Human History), there is no Volga in England. To fully complete, one needs to spell the truth out: there is no heroism in Shakespeare and there are no heroes among the English.
Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets, and Alyosha Popovich, i.e. the three Bogatirs after Victor Vasnetsov (1898)
Fifth, in many of his plays, Shakespeare incorporates eschatological and messianic stories and plots, but he does it in a most counterfeit manner. Through his mystical affiliation with the early Freemasons and other secret societies, Shakespeare had been ostensibly initiated in corrupted forms of the Ancient Egyptian Isiac mysteries. Isis- and Horus-related cults flooded, as you know, the Roman Empire in the first 3-4 centuries of the Christian era. Many Isea (Iseum is a temple dedicated to Isis) were excavated and monuments found in Europe, England included. The Egyptian esoteric tradition survived in England clandestinely forming at the antipodes of the Christianization a sub-culture that went down to the Knights Templar and later mystical orders; however, the tradition was progressively corrupted and spiritually dead.

The prestigious edition comprises also 20 maps, 55 plans and 66 views and vignettes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baedeker
The original initiates of Isis’ esoteric orders and the faithful, who adored the goddess in Isis’ temples throughout the Roman Empire, believed the Iwnw Heliopolitan dogma that was also known as Ennead among Ancient Greeks during the Late Antiquity. This comprehensive spiritual system of Egyptian cosmogony-cosmology-eschatology/soteriology was extensively popularized in Greek and Latin thanks to the numerous Isis Aretalogies (Ареталогия). Plutarch expanded on the topic in his De Iside et Ossiride (About Isis and Osiris/ Об Исиде и Осирисе), which is part of the voluminous opus Moralia (Ethics). About:
In several of his plays, Shakespeare ostensibly rewrites the Isis-Osiris-Horus myth. This becomes strikingly clear in Hamlet. In an article of mine published before 30 years under the title “What a priesthood is and how it functions” (Trito Mati, Athens-Greece, September 1993), I established the correct parallels among
a. the original Ancient Egyptian myth,
b. the Revelation by John, and
c. Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
You can find the article (scanned pages of the review) online here (3rd page from the end, in 4 columns):
The correspondence of the major elements of the Ancient Egyptian myth to the main characters of Shakespeare’s play is a vast topic that would need a book to analyze. I herewith provide you with a brief diagram.

Now, all this is not merely useful for comparative literary analysis and for a dissertation in History of Religions. What matters most in this regard is the way Shakespeare was personally involved in the distortion of the Ancient Egyptian narrative, the Isiac myth, and the eschatological/messianic plot. And this is the most obscure and the most vicious part of Shakespeare’s role and work.

Different moments of the ultimately cosmic, eschatological clash between Horus and Seth (: the Antichrist or Laertes in Shakespeare’s Hamlet), as depicted on numerous bas-relief panels of the interior side of the external wall of the Horus Temple at Edfu (Behedet in Ancient Egyptian) in Upper Egypt, 750 km south of Cairo. The Pharaoh Ptolemy X (Alexander I) appears in several bas reliefs as also fighting against Seth, which symbolizes his close cooperation with the Messianic Heliopolitan priesthood and epitomizes the pro-Heliopolitan nature of his deeds. Seth is alternatively represented as hippopotamus or crocodile. About:

Seth (or Laertes, Ullikummi, Masih ad-Dajjal, Antichrist/Beast, etc.) Brief presentation – interpretation of Horus’ eschatological drama & ultimate Victory: Edfu Temple and the Sacred Drama of Horus https://egyptraveluxe.blogspot.com/2014/11/edfu-temple-and-sacred-drama-of-horus.html
Read first the Ancient Egyptian myth (either Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic texts or Plutarch’s essay)! You get an impressive feeling of an overwhelming supratemporal victory and an enthralling prevalence of Horus-Messiah, who rules the spiritually rearranged and rejuvenated world as Emperor, having totally eliminated the evil (Seth).
Read the Revelation by John! There, you get an even more fascinating description of the victory of the King of Kings and of the annihilation of a) Satan (Dragon), b) the Woman sitting on the red beast, c) the Antichrist (Beast), and d) the Pseudo-Prophet. It is an identical narrative, which is incorporated within the nascent Christianity, although in Jesus’ words we find no reference to the three latter spiritual entities.
Read now Shakespeare’s Hamlet! Although basic parts of the plot and even the critical clash (Hamlet exterminating Claudius) are there, we observe with extreme indignation that, minutes after vanquishing Laertes, Hamlet dies too, when he and the rest hear the news of Fortinbras arriving. This makes the difference; the evil difference, I mean. Fortinbras is an absolutely unnecessary figure or character. He is absolutely useless and utterly nonsensical.
Only because the Satanic nature of Shakespeare wanted the Messiah (or Horus or Jesus-Christ or Mahdi or Etana or Saoshyant or Maitreya) dead and unable to savor his victory, the need for an extra character was created in the plot. It is a devilish trick against the noblest of all prophecies.
Do you know, Fedor, what Fortinbras means?
It means that there will not be any Kingdom of Heaven, because the Messiah/Horus will die at the moment of his victory. This is the World History’s most hateful, most lowly, and more fallacious concept; it constitutes the most blasphemous rejection of the Christian Revelation by John, and of all the anterior and posterior revelations, eschatological epics, and Messianic narratives. It is a vicious and shameless attempt to exterminate Soteriology and a conscious effort to prevent the Ultimate Emperor and Redeemer from ruling the Mankind with iron fist (inferred in Isaiah 11:4; explicitly stated in Psalms 2:7-9; and repeatedly evoked in Revelation 19:15, 12:5, 2:26-28).
Why is this so? Why is Fortinbras so badly needed to Shakespeare’s mystical and devilish peers? This is easy to answer! The evil societies cannot stand every notion of Kingdom of Heaven, because this brings forth their irrevocable annihilation; they therefore passionately and continually intend to disreputably prolong the present situation of the Fallen Mankind as long as they can. Their ‘poets’ perform therefore all possible acts of Black Magic to obtain the desired results. And the premeditated distortion of an eschatological narrative, plot and development, particularly when it is part of a play repeatedly performed by actors and formidably contemplated / cherished by the audience over the centuries (which means an enormous number of victims whose spirituality was held captive), is a very sophisticated form of Black Magic.
In Shakespeare’s malevolent and black magical eschatology, the Messiah (Horus or Hamlet) wins over the Antichrist (Seth or Laertes), but dies soon after! This irrevocable fact of the World Literature convincingly demonstrates where the location of Evil on Earth is.
Consequently, with a fallen human Fortinbras as bogus-ruler, the present condition will continue, and the (disastrous for Shakespeare and his peers) Kingdom of the Heaven will be delayed or averted.
Shakespeare did not have the strength or the paranoia to make Laertes kill Hamlet. This is genuinely impossible. He therefore did not attack spiritual forces that would madden and annihilate him on the spur of the moment, namely at the time he would be writing such an execrable obscenity. However, his evil nature was good enough to invent the Satanic trick: ‘the Messiah/Horus wins only to die after his victory’. Preposterous!
Exploring Shakespeare’s evil profundity, one can therefore unveil the depth and the extent of the English perfidy. I need now to terminate my lengthy response.
You are very knowledgeable, Fedor! But you seem to forget a critical detail.
Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616.
His active years are thought to have been between 1585 and 1613.
But the most important event of his life was not the coronation of James VI & I, who was the successor of Elizabeth I.
The historically most determinant fact that took place during Shakespeare’s life was the war between Spain and England (1585-1604) and mainly the circumnavigation of England and Ireland by the Grande y Felicísima Armada (also known as Invincible Armada), i.e. the Enterprise of England undertaken by the Imperial Spanish fleet in July-August 1588.
If the Spaniards won, you would never know Shakespeare and his black magical texts, which are idiotically staged in numerous countries worldwide only at their own detriment and to the prejudice of billions of readers and spectators.
You don’t need either Shakespeare or English in Russia. No one needs them.
De-Occidentalization is the guarantee for the Russian victory; and as you can guess, the term comprises also the most resolute de-Anglicization.
Replace therefore Shakespeare in the Russian Education syllabus with the Azeri Nizami Ganjavi, the Armenian Movses Khorenatsi, the Georgian Shota Rustaveli, the Iranian Ferdowsi, the Turanian-Indian Amir Khusrau, the Chinese Guo Jujing (郭居敬) and you will discover all the musical undulations of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade!
Removing Shakespeare from your education and defenestrating England out of the new multipolar world order, you will lose nothing, but you will gain the whole world! And the world will gain peace.
Thank you again for the opportunity you offered me to expand on these topics!

XVII. An Example of Failed State with no Historical Education: the Ottoman Empire opposite the Rum Mutiny that the French and the English termed ‘Greek Revolution’
An excellent example of 19th – 20th c. failed state is the Ottoman Empire.
First, the idiotic, corrupt and worthless sultans and their ignorant and pathetic sheikhulislams thought erroneously that, as Muslims, they would have the favor and the blessings of God against the Rum ‘infidels’ (gâvur), who -incited by the English and the French- rebelled in the South Balkan confines in 1821; that was silly and absurd. As a matter of fact, the Ottoman Empire did not represent Islam, but the shame of Islam. And the use of the term gâvur for the Christian Orthodox Rumlar reveals the attitude of a Satanist, not a Muslim.
The local, ignorant and paranoid elite of Ottoman Constantinople (the city was finally named officially ‘Istanbul’ only thanks to Kemal Ataturk) thought that they believed in the religion preached by prophet Muhammad, but in reality they believed in irrelevant, useless and heretic theological teachings that were dated many centuries after the death of prophet Muhammad. The consequences of the Ottoman evildoing were noticed quite soon: in 1826, the pseudo-Islamic Constantinopolitan theological cholera forced the Sultan to massacre the Janissaries and to ban the Bektashi Order; and in 1828, the secession of the (fabricated by the Anglo-French) pseudo-state of Greece was a fact. It was merely the normal consequence.
The Janissaries were the only force able to save the Ottoman Empire.
It would surely appear awkward that a state and a government, which were so profoundly characterized by self-ignorance and lack of knowledge of their own country’s History, could possibly know their enemies, bother to learn the history of their enemies’ proxies, and be smart enough to study and outdo the historical lies diffused by their enemies. However, I intend to herewith offer few paradigms of incredible and only self-disastrous Ottoman ignorance, indifference and complacency that brought the entire empire down. I will limit the paradigms of Ottoman lack of elementary historical education, and of its catastrophic consequences only to the rather minor case of the secession of ‘Greece’ in 1828. Far more important case was indeed the secession of Misir/Egypt, following Napoleon’s invasion of the Valley of the Nile in 1798; this was so. because of Misir’s/Egypt’s very important geo-strategic location.
Jean Baptiste van Mour, Grand Vizier: the Ottoman Empire in the 19th c. was an enormous and dysfunctional state with superb pomp and abject content. Examined with 14th c. criteria (Timurid Empire) or 8th c. standards (Abbasid Empire), Ottoman Constantinople in the 19th c. was the capital of a failed state.
XVIII. Adamantios Korais: the Ottoman Native, who fabricated the language that sent the Ottoman Eastern Romans (Rumlar), transformed into Modern Greeks, up to the outskirts of Ankara 100 years later
Second, the Ottoman authorities believed that the outcome of the confrontation with the Eastern Roman (Rumlar) rebels of Mora (Peloponnesus) would be determined exclusively in the battlefield; that was a pathetic and ludicrous assumption. In fact, the independence of the pseudo-Greek state had been prepared several decades before 1828 in France’s colonial pseudo-universities whereby a fake Modern Greek language was fabricated by Adamantios Korais (1748-1833), an Izmir-born Eastern Roman peddler recruited by the secret services of France for the purpose of the progressive dissolution of the Ottoman Empire.
However, the worthless Ottomans knew nothing about all that, caring only about their material possessions, their Satanic harem, and their fake religion that had nothing in common with Islam (being merely a false reading and a magnificence ignorance of it). Quite idiotically, the Ottomans believed that their insidious deeds would be enough to save them; but as it is well-known, fake religions only destroy those who believe them and they never saved anyone.
Adamantios Korais
After his studies, Korais undertook the fabrication of a pseudo-language with French syntax- grammar-usage and Greek vocabulary, eliminating the bulk of the then existing linguistic treasure among the indigenous local Eastern Romans (Rumlar) of the Ottoman Empire’s South Balkan confines, only for the sake of a theoretical, racist ‘Greek’ (‘Hellenic’) purity. This inhuman fact reveals -in and by itself- the inhuman absurdity of the ‘political nation’; if Korais’ linguistic construction was taught to the Zulus, the Zulus would be comfortably presented as ‘descendants of the ‘Ancient Greeks’ by the perfidious Anglo-French gangsters. But, as we know, the Zulus did not have the correct color! However, the stupid Sultan and the idiotic sheikhulislam had no clue about all these developments, because they did not care about the down-to-Earth reality, but about their nonsensical and delusional, pseudo-Islamic theological doctrines and aberrations.
It was then obvious that one of the most important components of the Ottoman Empire, namely the Eastern Romans (Rumlar) of the South Balkan Peninsula, was -at least partly- targeted for cultural extinction and spiritual genocide by the French colonial gangsters. The pre-fabricated linguistic monster, i.e. the fake Modern Greek language, would apparently be later imposed as national and official language throughout the state that France, England and Russia would produce in due course of time.
But the naïve, ignorant and insensible Ottoman authorities could not possibly grasp the colossal tsunami that the Anglo-French colonial gangsters were unleashing against the Ottoman Empire; this was apparently an enormous tsunami that would make the obsolete and otherwise useless state of the comical and egopathic sultans and the paranoid and pseudo-Islamic authority of the villainous, deleterious and evil sheikhulislams shake from its foundations. Those idiots wanted to rule and represent the entire Islamic world, but they were absolute incapable of understanding what it meant that the English and the French academics, intellectuals, diplomats and agents were mentoring selected Eastern Roman (Rum) Orthodox natives of the Ottoman Empire, teaching them that they were the descendants of the Ancient Greeks (which was then known to all that it was an enormous lie) and that they would deserve an independent state of gigantic proportions.
And this is actually what happened between 1787, when Korais submitted his doctoral thesis, and 1828, when the ethnically heterogeneous Slavic-, Arvanitic-, Turkish-, Vlach- and other idioms-speaking Eastern Romans of South Rumeli became independent. It took only 40 years for the Anglo-French criminals to sign the death warranty of the unsuspecting, brainless, and lethargic sultans, who were lost in their delusion of being the ‘defenders of Islam’, while being unable to discern what was going on under their nose. But the useless Ottoman Empire, which is the best example to avoid, was a so dysfunctional and so purposeless state that could not monitor any act and deed undertaken by its own enemies in view of its demise.
XIX. Fallmerayer: the German Historian who unveiled the Truth about the Fake Greeks in 1830, met the Sultan, but was not appointed as Ottoman Grand Vizier
Third, even worse, the pseudo-Muslim imbeciles of the Ottoman Empire, after losing the provinces of Egypt and Greece, still did not understand anything and continued living in their pseudo-Islamic darkness, ignorance and barbarism. In 1830, one of Europe’s foremost historians, Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer (1790-1861), published the first volume of his legendary treatise ‘Geschichte der Halbinsel Morea während des Mittelalters’ (History of the Morea Peninsula during the Middle Ages). In his masterpiece, he expanded much, presenting all the important historical sources that fully demonstrate that the South Balkan Rum population, which was viciously called ‘Greeks’ (‘Hellenes’) by the academic, intellectual and diplomatic elites of France and England, was not Greek at all.
Jakob Philipp Fallmerayer
Fallmerayer fully demonstrated that the Ancient Greeks were exterminated during the overwhelming persecution of pagans in the Roman Empire; that event lasted from the times of Constantine I (306-337) to the reign of Justinian I (527-565) and further on, until the end of the 8th c., when the few hundreds of remaining pagans resisted being christened and were executed in the extreme southern confines of Morea (Peloponnesus) Peninsula.
The great German historian specified that the physical elimination of the Ancient Greeks was not only a matter of persecution and physical extermination due to their vividly polytheistic and Anti-Christian beliefs, their insolent cult practices, and their daily activities; as a matter of fact, the final and irreversible extinction of the Ancient Greeks from the entire South Balkan Peninsula was due to the severe depopulation caused because of the numerous invasions and migrations, which took place throughout Europe for a period of at least 700 years, namely 100-800 CE.
By systematically and extensively referring to the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (920-959), who was a prominent scholar and a consummate historian, Fallmerayer revealed some of the most important historical sources that bear witness to the fact that all the modern inhabitants of the Morea Peninsula are basically of Slavic origin; today’s revivalist Anglo-French colonials and their pseudo-Greek stooges and scullions may ridiculously call Morea Peninsula ‘Peloponnesus’, but the truth is that, when the Slavic ancestors of today’s pseudo-Greeks settled there around 600 CE, the land was almost totally uninhabited.
Focusing on later periods, the prominent German historian highlighted the Albanian, Vlach and Turkic migrations and the settlement of these migrant populations in the lands that were selected by the English and French colonial gangsters in order to set up their vassal, pseudo-Greek statelet. In fact, only two years after Fake Greece was instituted, Fallmerayer annulled the reasons of its genocidal existence. This is the most spectacular conclusion that Europe’s leading early 19th c. historian drew:
“Das Geschlecht der Hellenen ist in Europa ausgerottet. Schönheit der Körper, Sonnenflug des Geistes, Ebenmaß und Einfalt der Sitte, Kunst, Rennbahn, Stadt, Dorf, Säulenpracht und Tempel, ja sogar der Name ist von der Oberfläche des griechischen Kontinents verschwunden…. auch nicht ein Tropfen echten und ungemischten Hellenenblutes in den Adern der christlichen Bevölkerung des heutigen Griechenlands fließet”.
A rough English translation reads:
“The race of the Hellenes has been exterminated in Europe. Beauty of the body, sun flight of the spirit, symmetry and simplicity of custom, art, racecourse, city, village, colonnade and temple, yes even the name has disappeared from the surface of the Greek continent … not even a drop of real and unmixed Hellenic blood flows in the veins of the Christian population of today’s Greece”.
Immediately, there was an enormous, hysterical reaction against Fallmerayer, his books, and his perfectly well documented and solid argumentation; this was due to the fact that his magnificent opus revealed the truth about the nefarious Anglo-French conspiracy against the Ottoman Empire and also about the crime committed by the genocidal state of Fake Greece against the non-Greek inhabitants of the seceded territories, who were exposed to the forced, tyrannical, monstrous and hideous process of Hellenization. All the various puppets, stooges, and lackeys of the colonial regimes throughout Europe were bribed, commanded and mobilized in order to save the Frankenstein-like, monstrous pseudo-nation that the evil ateliers and the bogus-universities of France and England had just manufactured. It was then that the pathetic pseudo-state of ‘Greece’ hired several ignorant and ridiculous scullions like Constantine Paparrigopoulos to pen a diatribe against the leading European scholar, who had just proved that the illusory pseudo-state ‘Greece’ should not exist.
As the one of the world’s most authoritative historians, Fallmerayer encountered king Otto I of Greece in 1847 and few months later, he was summoned by Sultan Abdulmejid I (1839-1861; Birinci Abdülmecid / (عبد المجيد اول, who offered a Certificate of Honor to the German scholar. But what was the effect of the entire story on the Ottoman Empire’s decision-making and national defense against the Anglo-French machinations? Nothing! The Ottoman administration, influenced by the villainous pseudo-Islamic theologians, was genuinely unable to comprehend that the future of the Ottoman Empire hinged on Fallmerayer’s book, and not on the Quran. Instead of translating it into Ottoman Turkish, Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French and English, to use it as a means of denunciation of the Anglo-French monstrosity, they prepared a Certificate of Honor as if scholars and erudite polymaths like the German historian needed extra papers! Instead of carefully studying it in order to assess the unprecedented extent of the colonial menace, they went back to their fully useless five prayers per day! Instead of concluding about the correct counter-measures to the formation of the pseudo-Greek state, the Ottomans did nothing! That’s why 100 years later there was no Ottoman Empire – thank God!
XX. Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia: an Ottoman Rum’s (Eastern Roman’s) Play that reconfirmed Fallmerayer’s Historical Verdict
Only six years after the publication of Fallmerayer’s outstanding study, an Eastern Roman Orthodox intellectual, author, and Ottoman native, born in Istanbul in 1790, came to give the final, irreversible and permanent blow to the credibility of the prefab pseudo-state of Greece. This came in another form – not as a historical analysis and synthesis, but as literary reflection of the daily life of the various indigenous people, who lived at the time in the South Balkan provinces of the Ottoman Empire and spoke many different languages, being therefore totally unable to understand one another.
Dimitrios Haji-Aslan Konstantinoğlu (later known as Dimitrios Byzantios, 1790-1853) was an Eastern Roman Orthodox polymath, fluent in his native Eastern Roman (Romeika / ρωμέικα) language and in several other languages, notably Ottoman Turkish, Farsi and Arabic. Like all the other Eastern Romans (Rumlar) of the Ottoman Empire, he knew very well that he was not ‘Greek’, that his mother tongue was not ‘Greek’, and that at those days in the South Balkan territories of the Ottoman Empire, which became independent in 1828, many different nations lived speaking different languages from province to province, from city to city, and from village to village.
Dimitrios Haji-Aslan Konstantinoğlu was a distinguished member of the Ottoman elite and administration; in the 1810s, he served in Tunis as interpreter of the local bey – a high rank of the imperial administration at the local level. When the English and the French instigated the Morea Peninsula mutiny in 1821, he went there and managed to be a member of the illegal, clandestine and self-styled ‘Peloponnesian Senate’, i.e. a group of fanciful murderers, Anglo-French stooges, local landowners, activists, rascals and criminals, who -performing under systematized and incessant Anglo-French guidance and interference- supposedly impersonated the ‘elected authorities’ of the otherwise nonexistent Greek nation. Not one man elected those terrorists; yet, they wanted to lead the ‘struggle’ for the delusional liberation of an area inhabited by an overwhelming majority of Muslim and Christian loyalists, who very much loved their country, i.e. the Ottoman Empire, being unwilling to betray their ancestral land and disobey the Ottoman authorities just for the villainous interests of the English and the French bastards.
Dimitrios Byzantios
Although the personal motives of Dimitrios Haji-Aslan Konstantinoğlu cannot be described as very clear with respect to the secession of the South Balkans’ Eastern Roman Orthodox Ottoman natives, we can be sure that he deplored the fake state of Greece in which he found himself in 1828. Although in the 1830s he had good connections with the royal administration and he served in several important positions, he was slandered by several people, who hated and envied him, and then dismissed from his position in Rumeli (Phocis), which is quite normal, taking into consideration that most of the persons around him were ignorant shepherds, idiotic farmers, naïve seamen, lawless plunderers, criminal rapscallions, and former gangsters. For the last two decades of his life, he lived as painter of churches in various parts of Western Greece.
Of course, he had to be renamed as Dimitrios Byzantios, after the purist, racist pseudo-Greek state’s processes during which dozens of thousands of toponyms and personal names were dictatorially and inhumanely changed in order to ‘prove’ as ‘correct’ the fallacious ‘Hellenic’ indoctrination, which had been fabricated by the Anglo-French academia in order to become the foundation stone of the pseudo-Greek statelet. ‘Byzantios’ meant ‘Istanbulite’ or ‘Constantinopolitan’, after the pathetic, pseudo-historical revivalism, which has ever been the disreputable, genocidal and necrolatrous dogma of Modern ‘Greece’.
Why this name was invented to replace the real surname of the great author and intellectual is simple to grasp. The geographical location of Istanbul-Constantinople was mythologized during the Antiquity as founded by the imaginary king Byzas; it was therefore named Byzantion and inhabited by colons from Megara, an Ancient Dorian Greek city. ‘Byzantios’ being an adjective derived from ‘Byzantion’ was used as surname in order to purify the Turkish names ‘Haji-Aslan Konstantinoğlu’, which -in and by themselves- proved that first, the pseudo-Greek state was inhumanely racist and second, Dimitrios Byzantios was not a descendant of Ancient Greeks, but an Eastern Roman Orthodox Christian irreversibly amalgamated with the various Turkic migrants and Islamized Eastern Roman inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire.
XXI. The Tragic Revelations of Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia about the Fake Statelet of Modern Greece
Dimitrios Haji-Aslan Konstantinoğlu ‘Byzantios’ published ‘Babylonia’ in 1836. This is the chronologically first masterpiece of literature produced in the pseudo-state of Modern Greece. As a play, Babylonia features various Eastern Roman Orthodox characters originating from different parts of the Ottoman Empire and the then seceded, tiny state of ‘Greece’; they all meet in the first capital of the new statelet, namely Mora Yenişehri (Italian: ‘Napoli di Romania’ / English: Nauplia) as Nafplion was then named. But unfortunately, they cannot understand one another, because their languages are different, their traditions, behavioral systems, and lifestyles diverge enormously, and consequently they miscommunicate and fight against one another. The encounter and the interaction of these theatrical characters in the play underscore the historical reality and highlight the Anglo-French colonial crime; in addition, they constitute a real prophecy about what happened in that cursed land that fell victim of the racist Anglo-French machinations. Modern pseudo-Greeks of the prefab fake state have ceaselessly fought one upon another and pitilessly killed one another for almost two centuries in exactly the same manner the illustrious Constantinopolitan playwright’s characters do in Dimitrios Byzantios’ fascinating and enthralling Babylonia.
The only truth is that there were no Greeks in South Balkans in the early 1800s. The different Christian Orthodox Rumlar (Eastern Romans) of the various regions of the Ottoman Empire were speaking languages that diverged from one another pretty much like Castilian (Spanish) differs from Catalan, Portuguese, and Galician. If no foreign colonial intervention took place, these different languages would generate over the span of about a century several modern nations, because the thriving, educated and prosperous Eastern Romans of Pontus, Cappadocia, Ionia-Aeolia and Istanbul, Macedonia, Albania and Epirus, Rumeli, Mora, Cyprus, Crete and Calabria were in fact speaking 10 different languages. Almost all these nations were culturally massacred and linguistically exterminated within the Cemetery of Nations called ‘Greece’ through the imposition of the fake ‘Modern Greek’ language that the vicious renegade Adamantios Korais produced working as a slave of the French academic Satanists.

And this is exactly why the title of the theatrical masterpiece is ‘Babylonia’! It has nothing to do with Ancient Babylon and the History of Mesopotamia! It is only an allusion to the Judeo-Christian narrative of the Tower of Babel; it was there where all the people started speaking many different languages and failing to understand one another. And Dimitrios Byzantios, as a visionary and pragmatist at the same time, tells us with his splendidly apocalyptic-eschatological play that the pseudo-Greek state is doomed to collapse, being punished by God, and to disappear in chaos, disorder and panic.
Thus, similarly with the Tower of Babel and following the Rum Mutiny, the “chaos” came to Mora Yenişehir – Nafplio in 1828. The plot is quite simple, but the play is incredibly rich at the linguistic level and very critical at the historical-national level. According to the story, many people meet in a lokanta (i.e. a restaurant; this word was among the thousands of words that were banned for all 19th c. Eastern Romans who happened to be entrapped in the pseudo-Greek state). The lokanta is located, as I already said, in Nafplio – Mora Yenişehir; the characters are Orthodox Christians. They are happy because the fleets of France, Britain and Russia have just won a victory over the Ottomans, but they will soon end up in the jail, after fighting against one another. So, the plot is set after the naval battle in Navarino (Naval Battle). About:
The theatrical story was as a matter of fact the daily reality of all Eastern Roman Orthodox natives across the Ottoman Empire. They used the language of the Christian scriptures for religious purposes, but it was a dead language. It was no longer the mother tongue of anybody. They used the terminology of the last Eastern Roman Orthodox Emperors of Constantinople to write official documents among themselves; but that language (Early Eastern Roman) was a dead language too. It was no longer the mother tongue of anyone. And they spoke Ottoman Turkish to communicate with the Ottoman authorities.
However, their mother tongues were numerous and differed from place to place, being different amalgamations of various components: Slavic, Albanian, Vlach, Turkish, Greek, Latin, Venetian, Arabic, and other. They all identified themselves as Eastern Romans (Romioi-Romii/Ρωμιοί/Rumlar); accepting the Constantinople Patriarchate as their supreme religious authority, they were all Christian Orthodox, but, as it happened, an Eastern Roman (Romios/Rum) from Crete and an Eastern Roman (Romios/Rum) from Yanya (Ioannina) did not speak the same language. Sometimes, two Eastern Romans (Romii/Rumlar) were speaking in Ottoman Turkish to better communicate between themselves.
If all these people were to become independent and secede from the Ottoman Empire, there had to be many small states (each of them having approximately the size of Montenegro, Slovenia or Albania) and each small state would have a different language (as different as Neapolitan is from Sicilian, Sardinian and Venetian). This would be the normal, natural, historical development and the true wishes of all the populations, which were disastrously deceived to sell their soul (identity) to the devil (the pseudo-state of Greece) for the mere reward of ceaseless Anglo-French lies, shameful and ridiculous praises of their fake ancestral ‘achievements’, and vain promises from the ‘Greek’ politicians.
Because of the racist purification process, which was a most totalitarian aberration, many thousands of rebels lived in the mountains in ‘Greece’ for many decades after the pseudo-independence (1828) to remain clean from the nauseating filth, the hellish depravity, and the fatal corruption of the pseudo-independent statelet. They were incessantly fighting heroically against the Bavarian and the Danish kings that the perfidious English imposed in their ‘pseudo-Greek’ colony, and they were brave enough to repeatedly deliver many merciless blows to the evil regime of Athens. Finally, all the Eastern Roman languages that existed on the soil of the pseudo-state disappeared around the end of the 19th c. and the beginning of the 20th c., following the white terrorism practiced by the Athens dictators. This was what happened in the South Balkan Ottoman provinces, after the French and British expelled the Ottomans from there.
By mere coincidence (!?!), the ‘Greek’ film director’s name (Yorgos Dizikirikis) is entirely Turkish; ‘diz kırığı’ (diz+kırık) means ‘the man who broke his knee’ in Turkish. Say ‘cheers’ to the South Balkans’ Greek monkeys! About:
Consequently, the aforementioned points conclude the case for the pseudo-Greek colonial state that the English and the French created, maintained, and helped expand as per their agenda. The attitude of many political scientists, Human Rights activists, humanitarian intellectuals, and political commentators, who happen to focus only on the racist state’s attitude toward a) the Turkish minority in Western Thrace, b) the Macedonian minority in Greek Macedonia, and c) the Cham Albanian minority in Chameria (Epirus), is a disastrous mistake and a deplorable oversight.
Long before the fake state of Greece persecuted the Western Thrace Turks, long before it carried out a 100-year long genocide against the Macedonian nation, long before it attempted the extinction of the Vlachs in Thessaly and elsewhere, and long before it expropriated the Cham Albanians from their own lands, this same fanatical, vindictive, discriminatory, racist, revivalist and irredentist administration, which had been methodically fabricated in disreputable and criminal institutions in France and England, did indeed carry out an enormous, multifaceted, and enduring genocide across its 1828 territories in a most inhuman and devilish attempt to
A- obliterate the local languages, cultures, traditions, values, and behavioral systems of the indigenous subject population,
B- delete the genuine Eastern Roman (romeiki) identity and integrity of the same population, and
C- impose on their subjects
i- the prefabricated nationalistic-chauvinistic dogma,
ii- the historical forgery that the English and the French academics taught them, and iii- the entirely fake Modern Greek identity.
In fact, the so-called combatants of the Rum mutiny (1821-1828) did not liberate but actually enslaved the unfortunate and ill-fated locals. And this is exactly what is perfectly well illustrated in Babylonia by Dimitrios Byzantios.
XXII. The Tragic Revelations of Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia about the Failed Ottoman Empire
If the above criticism concerns the modern state of Greece, what follows offers the chance to see the historical developments from another viewpoint. It is therefore time to ask now how the Ottoman Empire reacted to the fact that an outstanding Ottoman administrator moved to the seceded statelet and, after participating in the events of the period 1821-1828 and serving from various positions afterwards, he felt obliged to write a play in order to decry the absurd, self-contradictory, and highly pre-occupying situation that was created there following the secession of the said state.
The Ottoman authorities simply did not get any info about this valuable book/play at the time. This shows that they did not perceive the Anglo-French colonial threat at the time. Even worse, today’s Turkish authorities still have no clue about Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia and its deep meaning; this shows that the state created by Kemal Ataturk malfunctioned after 1938, because Turkey did not serve the purposes and did not achieve the targets that its founder set for all Turks. About: https://www.academia.edu/44743768/Kemal_Ataturk_1938_2020_the_World_s_Greatest_20th_century_Statesman_betrayed_by_Islamists_Pan_Turanianists_and_Kemalists
Due to their ignorance of the aforementioned books and because of their total inability to understand the down-to-earth reality, we can safely claim that the worthless advisers around the Sultan did not realize, back in the 1830s, that what had already taken place was not geared to be only an isolated circumstance, but in order to be continued.
Being indoctrinated with their fake Sunna, intoxicated with tons of pseudo-Islamic theology, characterized by ignorance because of the abolition of sciences in the Ottoman Empire after 1580, incapacitated due to their lack of learning, knowledge, exploration and study of the ‘Other’, plunged in absolute darkness thanks to their erroneous reading of the Quran, and invaded by incommensurate volume of Satanic pride and arrogance (this was the result of their delusional belief that they were good Muslims whereas they were worse than hyenas and wild dogs), the egotistic and inane Constantinopolitan theologians around the sheikhulislam and the sultan thought that the loss of Greece in 1828 was merely an isolated phenomenon, and not part of an entire agenda providing for the total and final demise of the Ottoman Empire.
These evil and inhuman Ottoman theologians, who were incapable of anything related to common sense, scientific method, and down-to-earth reality, wanted still to have a say in the governance of an empire of which they could only trigger the death, due to their ignorance and uselessness. In reality, they were the best agents and stooges of the English and the French, because without even being on the payroll of Paris and London, they fully played into their game.
Unfortunately, Kemal Ataturk came too late and was too sentimental, too humane and too merciful. He should have killed all the sheikhs, imams and students of pseudo-Islamic theological schools throughout Turkey. He should have closed down all the mosques and madrassas, prohibited all types of study of Islam (because they were all wrong, sick, corrupt and absolutely anti-Islamic), introduced unbiased and non-partisan History of Religions as the means to study the Islamic religion too, and prohibited the possession of any theological books written in Arabic across the country that he saved. The Ottoman Empire’s pseudo-Islamic theological establishment should have been reduced to extinction, because it was the sole responsible for the progressive dismemberment of the vast state.
The 19th c. was indeed a period of increased involvement of the theologians around the sheikhulislam in the governance of the Ottoman Empire; this fact contributed to the destruction of the Ottoman state because, by spreading ignorance, idiocy and incapacity, the useless sheikhs and imams played exactly into the evil Anglo-French colonial anti-Ottoman game.
Therefore, Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia fully demonstrated that already in 1828 the Ottoman Empire was an absolutely impermissible state. Its apathy would sooner or later drive it to nonexistence, and there was nothing more anyone could possibly do about it. The useless empire had to be instantly dissolved in order to prevent the calamities that fell upon all its inhabitants irrespective of origin, identity, language and religion. It is well known and accepted by all that, between 1828 and 1923, across the Ottoman Empire, many hundreds of thousands of people were killed in internal clashes and undeservedly massacred. This was evidently scheduled as per the Anglo-French colonial maneuvers and machinations; however, had the Ottoman authorities been different, i.e. had they been elucidated, better versed in spirituality, moral, culture, education and sciences, and therefore able to discern clearly, they would have certainly been able to outfox the plot.
In fact, you cannot combine the tenebrous theological contamination of Ahmad Ibn Taymiyyah with any aspect of human civilization or superior intellect. The Constantinopolitan theologians of the Ottoman Empire were barbaric and un-Islamic. The only chance of survival that the Islamic Caliphate had after 1580 would be a sultan/caliph, who would not be held captive of those evil theologians, but able to work with along the Janissaries, the Bektashis and the Mevlevis to physically eliminate the entire theological class, which in any case was totally impermissible in the true, original Islam, as preached and practiced by prophet Muhammad.
XXIII. How the Ottoman Authorities would use Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia, if they were not indoctrinated with Pseudo-Islamic Theology
Dimitrios Byzantios’ Babylonia should have been an alarming warning for the Ottomans. If the populations of the seceded lands were forced to become ‘Greek’, then practically speaking, any Eastern Roman Christian Ottoman could eventually be forced to also become ‘Greek’. The Ottoman administration and elite did not only have to get a copy, translate it to Ottoman Turkish, and duly study it, but they should also popularize it extensively among the other Eastern Roman Christian Orthodox populations, expansively analyze it to them, and fraternally warn them that, by becoming ‘Greek’, they would gradually be pulled back to the Ancient Greek polytheism, pedophilia, prostitution, fornication, Dionysian orgies, bloody political divisions, and homosexuality.
In this manner, with solemn condemnations and mass meetings every Sunday outside the churches of every Ottoman city, they should mobilize not the Muslims but the Christians of the Ottoman Empire against the pseudo-state of ‘Greece’. Orthodox Christian populations of the Ottoman Empire should be alarmed against the anti-Christian, pseudo-Greek state much more than the Muslim populations. Every Christian inhabitant of the Ottoman Empire should come to know that his daughters would become prostitutes, if their region happened to be targeted by the English and the French as the next step of expansion of the Athens regime. A Christian-Muslim alliance should be built against the anti-Christian statelet that was a mere instrument at the hands of the English and the French.
Having to oppose the plots of France and England after the fabrication of the pseudo-Greek state, the Ottoman administration did not use the real tools that they possessed. They stupidly thought, as I already said, that this would be a matter of military movements and diplomatic efforts; this aberration was lethal indeed for the Ottoman Empire. Why the Ottomans did not use the tools that they surely had is easy to assess; the evil pseudo-Islamic theologians did not want to study Ancient Greece, Christianity and many other similar topics, because in their stupid heads they had the deeply anti-Islamic belief that “at the end, all the people will become Muslims” and in the back side of their mind, they used to hide their evil intentions to force everyone into accepting Islam – which is totally Satanic. If you are an inhumane idiot and you think that “at the end, all the people will become Muslims”, you don’t need to do anything else except either staying in lethargy for many long years or massacring everyone that the ignorant, Satanic sheikhs order you to kill in the brief intervals.
Mahmud II (1808 1839) in new attire: too little too late!
And this is how the pseudo-Islamic Constantinopolitan theological cholera affected extremely negatively the Ottoman society: those who followed them were plunged indeed into an incredible lethargy interrupted only by few short periods of conflicts and massacres. Many independent European travelers sojourning in parts of the Ottoman Empire for some time during the 19th c. wrote their travelogues afterwards and they thus reported this situation; some among them may have well been agents of the colonial powers, but we cannot afford to discredit them all. Many among them had a truly genuine interest and they were absolutely veracious in their descriptions.
Christian or Muslim, all Ottomans indiscriminately were living in impermissible conditions, and by this I am not referring to the issue of technological modernization, which is not important, but to the troublesome social, socio-behavioral and cultural situation. Compared to the socio-cultural conditions of life in the Abbasid Caliphate 1000 years earlier, Ottomans -during the 19th c.- were simply culturally inferior, spiritually dead, educationally destroyed, socially putrefied, tribally divided, and religiously split along sectarian lines. For all this and for much more, the only responsible were the pseudo-Islamic ‘Sunni’ Constantinopolitan theologians.
Absolute lack of knowledge of the ‘Other’ ends up as misperception and hatred of the ‘Other’; and when a subconscious vision of one’s own lethargy, uselessness, misery, ineptitude and depravity comes to the surface of one’s own consciousness, then the only responsible “is” the “Other”, and in order to “pay”, “he must die”. This explains everything that occurred in the decayed Ottoman Empire during the period 1798-1923. In real historical terms, Kemal Ataturk did not actually abolish the Islamic Caliphate; he simply buried a dead corpse that had been calamitously left on the surface of the Earth way too long (after 1580). Those, who opposed its abolition, were inferior brainless beings with detrimental impact on their societies. Those, who wish an Ottoman revivalism or even worse an Ottoman comeback today, must be de facto acknowledged as fake Muslims and enemies of the Mankind.
In fact, after 1798 and more particularly after 1828, the Ottoman Empire existed hopelessly for another 95 years. It did not have a chance in the centillion (i.e. a number equal to 1 followed by 303 zeros) to possibly survive. Anyone who today imagines that it is possible to open the coffin of the Ottoman misery and revive the putrefied body of that -useless after 1580- state is either mad or possessed by evil demons. The Ottoman Empire is good stuff for Education though; until 1580, it offers a great chance to students of History to examine what it is for a major empire to miss great opportunities. And after 1580, it offers them the possibility to examine how disastrous and lethal a theological indoctrination can be, particularly if it is noticed by enemies.
Mahmud II did not have the necessary education to understand that saving his empire was not a matter of imitation but of true originality.
XXIV. What a Salvation Plan of the Ottoman Empire in 1828 would look like (if a Sultan eliminated the Evil Theologians in the first place!)
What could the Ottoman administration do to successfully prevent most or all of the developments that took place in their European provinces between 1828 and 1914? This question can eventually have a potential response only in case we assume that a forceful, impulsive and unpredictable sultan succeeded with the help of the military to eliminate the pseudo-Islamic theological schools around the sheikhulislam and to exterminate their main followers and supporters, thus imposing a totally different version of Islam than the Ottoman pseudo-Islam of the period after 1580.
Several practical suggestions are mentioned below, covering mainly three sectors:
A. Governance
1- Prevent any French and English from crossing Ottoman territories;
2- Implement an advanced project of national awareness campaigns among all the inhabitants of the empire through use of selected, hired, educated and guided natives from all the nations that lived there;
3- Transform the Ottoman Empire into a multi-national empire whereby all nations would be very conscious of their common, deeply anti-Western values, cultures, traditions and faiths;
4- Incorporate all ethno-linguistic and religious groups into the governance of the vast state and study them extensively;
5- Abolish the useless and self-disastrous system of millets;
6- Promote systematic and extensive inter-ethnic and inter-religious mutual knowledge, understanding and communication, starting from the level of Education;
7- Defame methodically the Western colonial countries by ceaselessly reporting all their crimes, corruption and obscenity to all the inhabitants of the empire;
8- Prepare the conditions for an Ottoman-Iranian merge into one empire that would also comprise the Central Asiatic khanates.

B. Education
1- Introduce an Albanian writing system in Ottoman characters and systematize National Education in Albanian for all the populations of today’s Epirus province of Greece, Albania, Kosovo, Sanjak and adjacent territories;
2- Introduce a Vlach writing system in Ottoman characters and systematize National Education in Vlach for all the populations of today’s Thessaly province of Greece and all Vlachs in Macedonia;
3- Introduce a Macedonian writing system in Ottoman characters and systematize National Education in Macedonian for all the populations of Ottoman Macedonia (the Manastir, Kosova and Selanik vilayets);
4- Introduce a Karamanlı writing system in Ottoman characters and systematize National Education in Karamanlı Turkic for the Christian Turkic populations;
5- Introduce (in Greek characters) the writing system of the various Eastern Roman languages in Pontus, Cappadocia, Ionia-Aeolia, Macedonia-Thrace, Crete, and Cyprus;
6- Follow similar policies as regards the Romanians and the Bulgarians early in the 19th c.;
7- Dissociate the Ottoman Empire’s Eastern Romans and the other Christians from the anti-Christian pseudo-state of Greece and reveal to all Christian populations of the Caliphate the deeply Anti-Christian targets of the pseudo-Greek state’s Anglo-French masters
8- Constantly update the Ottoman Empire’s Eastern Romans and the other Christians about how Eastern Romans were culturally humiliated (example: the Don Pacifico affair / https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781118885154.dipl0355) and socio-behaviorally disfigured and Westernized in the pseudo-Greek statelet (notably with the ignominious abandonment of the foustanella traditional attire and the orchestrated imposition of the ‘franghika’, i.e. the Parisian bourgeois, supposedly ‘Western’, clothing, which was a development that took place at slow pace during the 19th c. and the early 20th c. as part of the Anglo-French colonization of those South Balkan Ottoman lands).
9- Implement a vast Aramaization program among all the Dialectal Arabic-speaking populations of Syria-Phoenicia, Mesopotamia and Palestine in order to effectively oppose the already evident Anglo-French colonial plans that provided for the linguistic-political Arabization of the Berbers, the Egyptians and the Aramaeans across the Ottoman provinces in Africa and Asia. As none of these historical nations was associated with the Arabs in any manner, their disorientation and captivity within the false ideology of Pan-Arabism, which was generated very early by the French academia, would trigger enormous turmoil in the Ottoman Empire.
Acting as per above, the Ottoman authorities would avert the pernicious Anglo- French infiltration among the empire’s various nations, thus preventing the formation of various secessionist movements, and all the subsequent, disastrous developments. Only by fully integrating the properly formed and educated representatives of the various nations into the process of the imperial administration (see above parts A4, A6 and A7), would the Ottomans be truly able to unify their vast but incoherent and disparate state.
C. Foreign Policy
1- Dispatch well-prepared agents to France, under the coverage of trade or business, with task to study in-depth the languages and the cultures of the various oppressed nations of France, namely the Corsicans, the Occitans, the Catalans, the Basks (Euskadi) and the Bretons, and establish connections with them;
2- Dispatch well-prepared agents to England, under the coverage of trade or business, with task to study in-depth the languages and the cultures of the various oppressed nations of England, namely the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, and establish connections with them;
3- Invite to the Ottoman Empire many hundreds of representatives of England’s and France’s oppressed nations, prepare, train and guide them adequately, and then send them back in order to launch secessionist movements and trigger turmoil and chaos in both colonial countries;
4- Organize unrest across all formerly Ottoman territories that were detached by the colonial powers (notably Egypt);
5- Establish strong contacts with all Turkic and Muslim nations that were subjugated by the Russians, notably the Tatars, the Circassians, the Chechens and several others, and train them properly to instigate rebellions and chaos inside Russia;
6- Establish strong contacts with all Turkic and Muslim nations that were subjugated by the English in British India and prepare them to revolt against the colonials.
However, it sounds unrealistic to demand the aforementioned measures from the collapsing Ottomans of the 19th c., and it truly is. We have to accept that the lack of real awareness of the lurking dangers that characterized the obsolete structure of the Ottoman Empire was exclusively due to its fake religious authorities, which spread darkness instead of knowledge and hatred instead of love, contrarily to the true preaching of prophet Muhammad. As a matter of fact, we have to admit that the ineptitude, inertia, inappropriateness and incapability of the Ottoman family to rule the empire had already noticed several centuries earlier. These issues did not date back to the 19th c., but much earlier.
The Ottomans did not care to monitor (let alone prevent) the infiltration of the Catholic missionaries among the Aramaean Christians of Syria-Palestine and Mesopotamia already in the middle of the 16th c.; they did not realize the tragic consequences that this evil infiltration generated for an old nation that was divided between the Ottoman and the Safavid empires. And they failed to understand that various types of Western infiltration among the marginalized ethnic and religious components of their state would only herald its demise. As a matter of fact, if the Ottomans failed to defend the nations inhabiting their territories in the 16th c., when they were in the peak of their power, how could they possibly manage to do this in the early 19th c.?
On the contrary, what happened was a disastrous self-destruction: their sectarian theological pseudo-Islamic decisions further alienated the bulk of the Ottoman populations, namely most of the ethno-religious groups and nations (milletler) of the vast empire, from the indoctrinated Constantinopolitan élite that was totally detached from the real world. If we take into consideration the fact that one of the best tactics of the colonial powers is to engulf enemies in sterile, unrealistic and self-catastrophic theological indoctrination, we can conclude that the best tools of the evil colonial powers were the inane pseudo-Islamic ‘Sunni’ theologians of Constantinople who pushed their own country to the abysmal precipice in order to materialize the goals of their demented theories and their evil faith. The same occurs also today in Turkey. That is why I intend to complete this series of articles with the forthcoming presentation of what the pillars of Turkish Education must be in the years ahead, if Turks do not want their country to have the same fate as the defunct Ottoman Empire.
The disreputable fatwa issued by the evil and idiotic şeyhulislam Hasan Hayrullah Efendi for the dethronement of Sultan Abdülaziz: one of the most shameful documents of the Ottoman History
The present article consists in a brief outlook of the nature of the diverse educational systems either in the rising and falling imperial realms or in the chaotic and worthless republics that lack sanctity, legitimacy, and humanity. Here you will find its first part.
I. Education, Social Unity, and Transcendence in the Ancient Oriental Empires
In ancient times, Education was at the hands of the spiritual-sacerdotal-imperial savants and the instructors did their ingenious best to educate their pupils by making them fully aware of the Laws of the spiritual and the material universes, which were also reflected in the average culture of all the inhabitants of the ideal, paradisiacal empire that mirrored the celestial world on the surface of the Earth. There was absolutely no disconnection between the educated and the uneducated, because the latter comprehended in general -via mythical, cultural, education- what the former mastered in detail through systematic scientific exploration, archiving and education.
This was how the emerged great kingdoms and formidable empires were structured in Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria-Babylonia, Hurrians, and Elam), Kemet (Egypt), Hittite Anatolia, Cush (Ancient Sudan), Phoenicia-Carthage, Iran and Turan, China, and Indus Valley and the Deccan. There was Unity in Education, as all the people understood the supreme language of the Myth and the Symbols that exist between the spiritual and the material universes, and as a consequence, they all had the same world view, the same spirituality and culture, and the same moral standards, which defined the sanctity of their empire.

II. Lack of Sacerdotal and Imperial Authority in the Low Educational Systems of the Ancient Greek and Roman Barbarians
Ancient Greece and Rome, as small, divided and unsophisticated local societies, were ignorant, barbaric and marginal lands as regards the Ancient Oriental empires; there was no spirituality, no imperial tradition, no sacerdotal scholarship, and no unity of Education. There was division in society, disunity among the various tribes, and clash among the various philosophers who were educated not locally but in the great temples of Egypt, Phoenicia, Babylonia, and Iran. Ancient Greek religion was a petty version, a miserable imitation, and a pale reflection of the Ancient Oriental religions.
There was no transcendence, no contemplation, no meditation, and no sanctity in Ancient Greece; the gods of the Ancient Greeks were mere human projections onto the spiritual world, and as such they were inferior to the aspects of the Divine World, which formed the fundamental truths of the archetypal Oriental myths. Lacking spiritual authority, scientific knowledge, and moral wisdom, the Ancient Greeks became mere ‘friends of the wisdom’, which is the real meaning of the Ancient Greek word ‘philosopher’. In their otherwise worthless education, they replaced the transcendental truth with useless verbosity, the mythical symbolism with puerile anthropomorphism, the sacrosanct theatrical events with their debased public theater, and the Imperial Paradise with their Civil War.

III. Education and Culture in Imperial Rome: Result of an Overwhelming Orientalization
Rome became an Empire very late, and achieved a level of Orientalization too late. As a matter of fact, there was no unity in education, and consequently, there was a total disconnection between the educated and the uneducated. This is said with respect to the Romans themselves, the citizens of Rome during the times of the Res Publica (‘Republic’: 510-27 BCE). This phenomenon was the result of the formation of an elite/elitist class with increased focus on material interests, lower degree of piety, and total lack of imperial world view and tradition.
When people deliberate in public, the focus is shifted away from spirituality, moral standards, and culture to petty personal interests and elite privileges. Then, few representatives can take decisions on common issues, discord and disunity appear only to prevail across the society, while social class divisions become the reason of endless strife; the ensuing social stratification destroys or prevents unity in culture and education.
This situation became very ostensible in the early Roman imperial times, when the elite continued living influenced by the Ancient Greek social lifestyle, involving theater, philosophy, and public debates (as the Senatus had still some power), but the Romans, i.e. the average people in their outright majority, had already accepted different Oriental cults, mysteries, religions, schools of spirituality, oracles, mythical symbolisms, and dogmas of cosmogony, cosmology, apocalyptic eschatology and soteriology.
It was only normal for the old republican traditions and the useless public debates to be soon swept away by the mysteries of Mithras, Zurvan-Saturn, Isis, Horus, Osiris, Sarapis, Anubis, Sabazios, Elagabalus, Cybele, Attis, and other Oriental cults and mystical systems (Chaldeanism, Ostanism, Gnosticisms, Hermetism) to which almost all the Romans gradually adhered, abandoning their impotent ancestral divinities and seeking salvation in the dogmas of the Chaldean Aramaeans, the Egyptians, the Cushites, the Anatolians, and the Iranians.
Romans abandoned the nonsense of the political discourses, and started carrying about the mysteries of Isis, an Egyptian mythical symbol and central figure of the Ancient Egyptian Heliopolitan eschatology and soteriology.The Coffin of Osiris was understood by the Ancient Romans as far more important (as element of contemplation and meditation) than the trivial, material debates of the Senatus. Salvation could never be offered in the useless sphere of politics, but it could be achieved within the circle of Isiac initiates.Mithras could save a soul – but the useless politicians of Rome could not. That’s why the Ancient Greeks and Romans disregarded the nonsensical theories of the ignorant pseudo-philosopher Aristotle and abandoned the public debates of their worthless republics in order to seek salvation in the mysteries of Mithras.The fact that Ancient Greece and Rome were flooded by Oriental religions, cults, schools of spirituality and mysticism proves the inferiority of these ancient cities-states and the primitivism of these nations vis-à-vis the Ancient Oriental civilizations.Zervan, the Iranian god of Time, identified by the Romans of the imperial times with Saturn. Elagabalus: the Roman Emperor who before his coronation was the high priest of the Aramaean god Elagabal, a solar divinity and hypostasis of Mithra.
There was a major difference between Trajan’s Rome from one side and from the other side Darius I the Great’s Iran, Sargon II’s Assyria, Thutmose III’s Egypt, Mursilis I’s Hittite Anatolia, Hammurapi’s Babylonia, Urukagina’s Sumer (Lagash and Girsu), and Sargon I’s Akkad: different cultural and educational systems existed across the Roman Empire at the time of its greatest expansion. I don’t mean this in terms of regional differentiation in culture and education among the various nations that lived in Anatolia, Egypt, Carthage, Numidia, Gaul and other provinces. I refer to the still existing differentiation between Roman elite culture, world view, and education from one side and from the other side the popular culture, world view, and education across the empire.
However, it was only a matter of time, and finally, the culture, the world view, and the education of the average people prevailed; they were finally imposed on the Roman elite; during the 3rd c. CE, Rome looked very much like an Oriental Empire, as the path from barbarism to civilization had been crossed. It was the time when a Roman Emperor named after the Aramaean god Elagabalus ruled the vast empire. Little time afterwards, Mithra, an Iranian god, became the supreme god of the -thus markedly Iranized- Roman Empire, as Sol Invictus.
IV. Christian Roman Empire: Doctrinal Culture for all and Doctrinal Education for few
In fact, the Christianization of the Roman Empire constituted only the last layer of its Orientalization. Divided along Christological doctrines, the Christian Roman Empire reflected Oriental empires in times of division; it looked like Egypt at the times of Akhenaten, Mesopotamia (Assyria and Babylonia) at the times of Sennacherib or Iran at the times of Cambyses. Due to the juxtaposition and the polarization around the nature and the qualities of Jesus, Christianity produced an enormous amount of theological treatises, endeavors and concerns; compared to the Ancient Oriental religions, the official version of Christianity, as practiced in the Eastern Roman Empire, looked like a merely theological system – not a ‘religion’.
Gradually but steadily, spirituality turned out to become an absurdity, ‘miracles’ became simply a matter of narrative and not of demonstration, belief was reduced to mere acceptance of doctrines interpreting the sacred texts, and people were kept far from education. It was a time of indoctrination and doctrinal culture. There was indeed unity in culture and education, pretty much like in the Ancient Oriental empires, but it hinged on theological doctrine, because official Christianity was not a religion preached by Jesus. All the same, New Rome (Nova Roma) at the times of Justinian I (527-565) looked far closer to Xerxes’ Persepolis, to Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon, to Esarhaddon’s Assyria, and to Ramses III’s Thebes of Egypt than to Caesar’s Rome.

V. Islamic Civilization: an entirely non-Arab Phenomenon
When prophet Muhammad preached Islam among an uneducated, uncultured, barbaric, and marginal tribe, namely the Arabs of Hejaz, he raised the stakes exponentially. Suffice it that you read the (written by an anonymous Alexandrian Egyptian captain and merchant of the middle of the 1st c. CE) “Periplus of the Red (or Erythraean) Sea” (par. 20) and you understand how all the civilized nations of the wider region viewed the Arabs of Hejaz. With the acceptance of Islam by the Ancient Yemenites, who were a Semitic nation totally different from and unrelated to the Arabs of Hejaz, already two years before the death of prophet Muhammad (630 CE), an important change occurred: the majority of the followers of Islam were non-Arabs.
With the early Islamic invasions, many Aramaeans of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine, many nations of the Sassanid Iranian Empire, many Copts (Egyptians), and many Berbers (from Libya and the African Atlas) accepted Islam, dramatically intensifying the fact that the Arabs constituted a minimal and unimportant part among the Muslims of the Omayyad and the Abbasid Caliphates. This generated a new socio-cultural environment from the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of China and the middle of the Subcontinent.
VI. Islamic Caliphate: Aramaean & Iranian Education, Sciences, Art, Culture, Intellectual life, and Spirituality under Arab rulers
The Islamic Civilization is an entirely non-Arab phenomenon, as it basically consists in an Aramaean & Iranian civilization with greatly diversified local traits. Within 150 years, after prophet Muhammad’s death, Aramaeans of Mesopotamia and Syria and Iranians transferred the corpus of the scientific, academic, intellectual, artistic and educational genius of the Sassanid Empire of Iran within the Islamic Caliphate.
In fact, Arabic is an Aramaean dialect written with Syriac Aramaic characters slightly deformed as cursive writing; without vocalization, almost the entire Quran can be read in Aramaic. So, Aramaeans (liberated from the yoke of the Eastern Roman Empire and unrestrained from the Constantinopolitan theological doctrine) and Iranian Mazdeists learned and used Arabic for the aforementioned purpose. In fact, the great Aramaean centers of learning, libraries and theological schools of Edessa of Osrhoene (Urfa), Nisibis (Nusaybin), Antioch (Antakya) and Seleucia-Ctesiphon (Al Mada’in) and the famous Sassanid Iranian imperial academy, university, research center, library and museum of Gundishapur, which was the world’s greatest center of learning and wisdom of the 6th c., were merged and continued in the legendary Bayt al Hikmah in Baghdad.

At the beginning, Islam appeared to be one more Christological heresy, eventually a more acute form of Nestorianism. With Late Antiquity Gnostics accepting Islam, it is not bizarre why Fathers of the Christian Church, like John Damascenus, a leading Aramaean scholar, poet, and theologian from Damascus, viewed Islam as a counterfeit version of Christianity. On the other hand, this fact explains fully why the Islamic Civilization was always (until its end in 1580) the realm of Learning and Education.

This fact has little to do with Quranic verses; it is mainly due to the constituent elements of the early Islamic society. When schools of faith and science, like that of the sagacious Ikhwan al-Safa (إخوان الصفا) created the dynamics they did, thanks to their mystical-intellectual endeavors, scientific explorations, and educational system, it would be impossible for the Islamic Civilization not to be at the antipodes of the Christian world: a domain of Learning.
VII. Islamic Spirituality, Religion and Culture vs. Governance and Theology
As spirituality was initially limited in the circle of the descendants (Ahl al Bayt) of prophet Muhammad, notably Ali ibn abi Taleb (who was the son-in law of prophet Muhammad and the prominent figure of the Ahl al Bayt), but governance was at the hands of the enemies of Ali ibn abi Taleb, a very strange situation arose. In the deeply and irreversibly divided (Omayyad and Abbasid) caliphate, education was soon controlled by the Aramaeans and the Iranians, whereas the military started being increasingly dominated by the incoming Turanian soldiers; at the same time, spirituality and religious orthodoxy and orthopraxy remained the exclusive domain of Ahl al Bayt, notably Ja’far al-Sadiq.
The caliphs wanted to justify their unjust and illegitimate rule, while various learners and pundits decided to make distinguished careers by justifying the unjustifiable; they were therefore hired by the caliphs and appointed as religious authorities in order to ‘explain’ as ‘Islamic’ the un-Islamic or anti-Islamic deeds of those caliphs. This attitude constituted an enormous schism between the spiritual endeavors of the early Islamic community and the religious practices of the disbelieving and unfaithful rulers, thus opening the path for a fake religion adapted to immoral, illegal and evil governance. This situation was utterly rejected by many spiritual mystics and erudite Muslims, and the ensuing polarization triggered an enormous literature of jurisprudential and theological contents. So, soon Islam started being turned from a religion to a theology.
VIII. The Secular Nature of the Islamic Society, Education, Culture and Civilization
Islam preaches a secular society, and for many hundreds of years the Islamic caliphates, sultanates, khanates and emirates were prominently secular of nature. The secular nature of Islamic education, spiritual and material research, literature, sciences, intellectual life, artistic inventiveness, and mysticism is underscored by the burgeoning character of the early Islamic society in which -for many long centuries- there was absolutely no ‘sunnah’ in the way this word is used nowadays by the ignorant ‘sheikhs’ and the uneducated ‘imams’ of Madinah, Istanbul, Mekkah, Al-Azhar, Qum, etc.
The fact that “there is no compulsion in religion” (Quran, chapter al-Baqara, verse 256) implied that Shariah law was not compulsory. Actually, there was no Shariah (in the sense this word is meant now) at all in the beginning, for the very simple reason that the historical prerequisite for Shariah is a school of Islamic jurisprudence. The Divine Law demanded from humans a ‘deep understanding’ (fiqh) of the Quran and the Hadith, and this is the real word for Islamic Law even today (as concept); to implement the Divine Law in the human society, the various jurisprudential schools accepted four sources: the Quran, the Hadith (prophet Muhammad’s sermons), qiyas (analogical reasoning),and ijma (juridical consensus). This automatically terminated Islam as religion, turning it to a theology.
The secular nature of the education in the Islamic caliphates and other kingdoms was the result of the well-diversified nature of the Islamic society, which incorporated many different cultures. Prophet Muhammad’s preaching was accepted differently in various locations in Asia, Africa and Europe, as it incorporated numerous diverse local cultures and traditions; this phenomenon generated a multitude of forms of worship, schools of spirituality and mystical tradition, and perceptions of (and approaches to) the spiritual and the material worlds, which were -all- called ‘Islamic’.

This dynamic spiritual, academic, intellectual, educational, socio-behavioral, and cultural process created an unprecedentedly decentralized phenomenon of faith, life, art, intellect and genius. It was the total opposite of the very centralized Christian churches, societies, states and educational systems. In fact, Islamic education, science and intellectual life reduced Islamic theology to small and marginal circles of dogmatic and indoctrinated imams, who could not impact the advance of Islamic Civilization and sciences.
Basically, Islamic education and culture were characterized by cohesion at the local level, only when viewed independently in the different parts of the Islamic world. However, in reality, an unprecedentedly wide number of different cults, positions, practices and beliefs could effectively be labeled ‘Islamic’, because for someone to be accepted as Muslim it is actually enough to confess that there is no god except God and that Muhammad is the messenger of God (which is the Shahada, i.e. the testimony, of faith / La ilaha illallah muhammadur rasulullah – لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله). Islamic education revolved around the basics of the religion, before orienting students toward the two main directions: spirituality and science.
IX. Islamic Education divided between Spirituality/Sciences/Arts and Theology
The only reactionary group of theologians, who wanted to limit education to the sphere of a dark, pseudo-Islamic theology, was the pseudo-school (madhhab) of Ahmed ibn Hanbal. However, this did not influence anyone and either in his days (mainly 9th c. CE) or later, it was not accepted as proper school of jurisprudence, but as a type of barbaric and ignorant heretics (Ahmed ibn Hanbal was also imprisoned). Notably, ibn Hanbal was rejected by Tabari, the Islamic world’s greatest historian and most erudite scholar of those days.
Only after the Crusades and due to the devastating impact that they had on the Muslims of the Eastern Mediterranean, a backward theological system demanded the end of Islamic sciences, the subordination of spirituality, genius and intellect to the villainous theological doctrine that these ignorant and idiotic people considered as ‘Islam’. This theological system is the baseless and anti-Islamic teaching of Ahmed ibn Taymiyyah, who was viewed as a heretic during his time and he was also imprisoned as impostor. His nonsensical theories ostensibly constitute a form of Christianization of Islam.

With the progression, the diffusion and the prevalence of this pathetic system, an enormous damage was caused to the Islamic Civilization; due to the erroneous education, which was impregnated by the evilness of Ahmed ibn Taymiyyah’s ideas, the Islamic sciences started being abandoned, the Islamic arts were disregarded or reduced to basic and meaningless forms, and the Islamic intellectual life was disintegrated. Even worse, Islamic spirituality was slandered as ‘black magic’, Islamic wisdom was obliterated and forgotten, and Islamic education was decreased to the level needed for imbeciles, who could not anymore comprehend the Quran in the way Muslims were able to understand their holy book two centuries earlier.
X. The divide between Islamic Spirituality/Sciences/Arts and pseudo-Islamic Theology disfigured as Shia vs. Sunni Schism
The reason for this development is the fact that Ahmed ibn Taymiyyah, following the line of Ahmed ibn Hanbal, preached that for Muslims’ education only theology mattered. This evil impostor generated a terrible divide between Islamic spirituality and theology, which lasted down to our days, but was mistakenly and viciously known as difference between ‘Shia’ and ‘Sunni’. However, this is an evil colonial lie and an Orientalist falsehood imposed on the colonial slaves of France, England and America, namely the ignorant sheikhs and pathetic imams of Islam.
In fact, there was never a historical division between ‘Shia’ and ‘Sunni’ throughout the History of Islam. The fake divide is an entirely modern, colonial fabrication, which was constructed, when ignorant and idiotic sheikhs, following the remote guidance and the evil orders of their Western masters, started presenting themselves as self-styled ‘Sunnis’. Western forgers and ignorant imams may today describe a historical war, let’s say the battle of Chaldiran (1514) between the Ottomans and the Safavid Iranians, as a fight between ‘Shia’ and ‘Sunni’, but this is entirely false.
Ottoman armySelim I Selim I: a great soldier, a poor strategist, and a naïve pupil of evil pseudo-Islamic theologians The Battle of Chaldiran (1514)Shah Isma’il Safavi, founder of the Safavid dynasty of Iran that Western colonials distortedly called ‘Persia’Isma’il Safavi, painting by the illustrious 16th c. Italian artist Cristofano dell’Altissimo (whose works are exposed at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence)
Neither Selim I nor Ismail Safavi, the Ottoman sultan and the Iranian shah, who exchanged written insults before the battle, called one another ‘Sunni’ and ‘Shia’. Neither was their difference a theological dispute. In reality, Selim I caused a terrible bloodshed (squelching the Shahqulu/Şahkulu movement) in order to impose a theological dogmatic tyranny in his pseudo-Islamic Ottoman realm, whereas Ismail Safavi established in Iran a secular education that allowed people to free pursue any walk of intellectual life that they wished, either in spirituality or in sciences, thus eliminating the tyranny of theological ignorance. The fact that these events are not portrayed in this manner in today’s educational systems of Turkey and Iran only shows how mistaken, misguided and self-disastrous these systems are. Of course, this is also true for the educational systems of all the other Muslim countries.
When your enemy praises you, you must certainly search and find where your mistake lies. This ages old wisdom applies now to the ridiculous and worthless education that fake countries like Qatar and the UAE offer to the unfortunate children that attend the local institutions.
These fake countries have been formed progressively when the colonial empires of England and France undertook the destruction of Islam and the dismemberment – dissolution of the great Islamic empires, e.g. the Ottoman Empire, Safavid / Qadjar Iran, and Mughal India.
Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, and Kuwait represent nothing but the corrupt, immoral, treacherous and evil attitude of local ignorant and impotent tribal thugs, who for the sake of little money betrayed the Ottoman Caliph, the Sultan at Istanbul, and accepted to become English protectorates one way or another during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
English diplomacy cheated the Ottoman administrations by asking them to accept these minor territorial issues in exchange with English support against Tsarist Russia, and like this the seceded territories survived until the Ottoman Caliphate collapsed.
In fact, these tribal dynasties, like every traitor of the Ottoman Empire, are also responsible for the rise of Islamic Extremism because this phenomenon is exclusively due to the dissolution of the Caliphate to which they contributed.
The primary scope of an educational system is to strengthen the national identity, the cultural integrity, the religious piety, and the linguistic – literary skills of the schoolchildren; however, this is deliberately prevented in the fake states of Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE where they attempt to turn the unfortunate schoolchildren into mere ‘Arabic speaking US Zionists’. How could they offer a national identity solidifying education in their institutions, since they are not nations in the first place?
These fake countries are not real, ‘ethnic nations’, and they will always be a shameful tool in the hands of their colonial masters. After they became ‘independent’ from England, these lawless realms of anti-Islamic ascendancy have been instrumentalized as per the most vicious needs of the worst enemies of the Islamic Civilization, Culture, Religion and Rule.
Instead of offering solid curricula on Islamic History, Art History, Literature and Sciences, the fake schools of Qatar familiarize children now with robots!
This is quite praiseworthy for a Zionist portal like Green Prophet!
Here is the alarming feature that should make all Muslims rethink several times about the legitimacy of many so-called Muslim countries that promote vicious materialistic concepts and technologies that reject not only Islam and all the other religions of the world, but the entire Humankind as we have known it.
Elementary and middle school students from schools across Qatar recently tested their robotics know-how. The mock robot competition was held at the College of the North Atlantic Qatar (CNA-Q). Because science is a good thing!
Besides the social aspects of the event, the aim was to prepare the students for the National Robot Olympiad of Qatar, to be held October 24-25 of this year. The contest doesn’t stop there – finalists will advance to the World Robot Olympiad, which will be taking place this year in Sochi, Russia.
For months, students and teachers alike have been learning about robotics in a school initiative to boost STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, called Go Robot. Teachers were offered up to 30 hours of instruction in robotics programming and utilized that knowledge to train their students. Some 300 Qatari teachers have been trained, and about 200 student teams are now registered to compete in the national competition.
The young competitors surely have some impressive tricks up their sleeve at this stage of the game. They have reached proficiency in building and designing robots, and solving programming challenges. But true mastery will win them a ticket to the international competition.
At the National Robot Olympiad, students will undertake such tasks as “launching a spaceship, collecting space debris, fixing a solar panel array on a space station, and setting up a Mars colony.” They can even enter their robots into a football competition! More details about the specific contests can be found here, on the official website of the competition.
One information technology teacher from the Osama Bin Zaid school in Qatar remarked that he has noticed a greater interest in the sciences and mathematics ever since robotics was first introduced at his school. The growing participation of students in the national and worldwide robot olympiads year after year suggests that his students are not alone, as the contests and STEM education complement one another.
The countdown to Qatar’s National Robot Olympiad has begun! Let’s wish the students luck (Good luck!) at their techie craft. Who knows – some of these students may design the robots that most everyone will be entrusting their household chores to, in a few decades…
