I know Pakistanis worship us, but this question is mainly for you.

Do you see us as a political threat? The second-largest military in NATO is not a threat; it provides security for you.

Is it our history that bothers you? It's true that we once reached Vienna, but the British and the French also fought each other for centuries. Besides, Protestantism spread in Germany and Hungary thanks to us; we were their protectors.

Do you find us antisemitic? Jews lived most comfortably under Muslim states throughout history. Those who fled the massacre in Spain preferred the Ottoman lands for this reason.

Is it Islam that bothers you? Turkey was the seat of the Caliphate and today is a state respected by Muslims around the world. If you want to dominate the Middle East, Turkey is an asset thanks to its proxy role; Greece cannot do that.

Is it because of crime-prone immigrants? In fact, they commit fewer crimes than citizens of Western countries.

Do you hate Erdoğan? His famous saying is, "The world is bigger than five." (The number "5" refers to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto power: the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France.) He defends the rights of the oppressed.

Do you personally support Israel?

The Jews ancient claim to land around the jordan river is indisputable. agreed?

It is nothing like pagan religions, where people were buried with their belongings, or polytheistic religions in which every city had its own god.

Christianity, which most of you belong to, is considered by some to have begun as a sect of Judaism. Since the Jews no longer had a sovereign state, it lacked the institutions that might have kept it within Judaism. Its revolutionary feature was its claim to universality, which separated it from Judaism and gave rise to missionary work.

Judaism centers on the revelation of the Torah to Moses, alongside later rabbinic traditions. Christianity is different: the Gospels were written decades later by people traditionally linked to the apostles. Rather than being presented as God's direct words, they mainly recount Jesus' life. One could argue that this makes Christianity easier to reinterpret and reform.

Islam, meanwhile, also claimed universality but almost immediately became the religion of a state. Within a century it had spread from al-Andalus to Khorasan. Muslim scholars developed detailed traditions in hadith, sira, aqidah, fiqh, kalam, and tafsir. In that sense, Islam combines Judaism's strong textual tradition with Christianity's missionary outlook while avoiding what many see as their weaker aspects. Its legal and theological traditions are so comprehensive that major reform is far more difficult.

Muslims also tend to place greater emphasis on the ummah and religious commitment. British Protestant schools in the Ottoman Empire initially aimed to convert Muslims, but their own reports admitted they achieved little success because Muslims were deeply attached to their faith. Many schools instead focused on converting Armenians.

Recently, a comedy portrayed Jesus as gay and drew relatively little reaction from Christians, despite Christianity being the world's largest religion. Try making a similar claim about the Prophet Muhammad to a Muslim. If your head is still attached afterward, consider yourself lucky :D
