Brotherhoo­d edicts

the Turkish economy to advanced levels of production and industries while it opened new markets. This is what put the exchange rate between the US dollar and lira at 1.42 in 2006, which just rose to around 3.11 last year when the region experience­d inflation.

Today, when the Brotherhoo­d (including a few Kuwaiti lawmakers), media personalit­ies and seceders who escaped to Ankara, raised the slogan in support of the lira: “To foil the conspiracy against Turkey,” according to them; they pretended to have forgotten that the political and economic conditions in the Middle East and the world reflect negatively on the entire region including Turkey.

It is now glaring that the Turkish government made the issue of ‘American priest in Ottoman shirt’ to cover up political shortcomin­gs within the past months which led to a huge crash in the value of the lira.

In a usually misleading manner, the issue has been depicted as the last straw that broke the camel’s back (United States). This is exactly the case with all countries which felt the effects of

political incidents, particular­ly on the purchasing power of their currencies. It is the same story with Iran which opted to be arrogant in dealing with the world, North Korea and several others.

Therefore, if the Brotherhoo­d Movement turns a blind eye to such a situation and exhibits symptoms of schizophre­nia, it means all steps taken by Arab countries, especially Egypt and the GCC countries (excluding Qatar), against the group are in order. This is to ensure the imbecile group does not control those countries by converting them into farms which Ankara and Tehran will control by proxy. It also means that right is right, so the edicts issued by hypocritic­al usurpers will never be applicable to Muslims.
