By posting comments on our site, you are agreeing to the following terms: michael kors purses cheap “TURKEY has managed to impose herself on various Middle Eastern issues during the recent years,†Kuwaiti columnist and economic researcher Amer Al-Tameemi wrote for Al-Taleea weekly Wednesday. “Although we have begun paying concern to political issues, we have come to realize that Turkey acts as an ally of the West in the Middle East. In other words, although Turkey is a Muslim state, it pays more concern to its relations with countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the West more than the Arab states.“Not just that, Ankara maintains ‘a significant distance’ while dealing with the Israelis and the Arabs in terms of the chronic struggle between the two parties. In spite of the above, Turkey has established a strong relationship with Israel.“Besides, it is known that Turkey is following a secular political system since the reign of Mustafa Kamal Attaturk since the 1920s. In other words, the religion has neither played a role in couching the Turkish laws and legislation nor a role in the Turkish local and foreign policies.“Meanwhile, we say during the last 50 years, consecutive ruling regimes in Turkey were exposed to many challenges from the Turkish military institution given the history of three military coups at the beginning of 1960s, the beginning of 1970s and the beginning of 1980s on the pretext of maintaining the secular system of the county from the political delinquencies and their attempts to meet popular demands and project religious values at the expense of secularism.“Apart from the above, we have observed that the Turkish judicial system has remained committed to Attaturk values and this system has been sincerely working to consecrate the secular method to such an extent, the Turkish judiciary has ousted many politicians and prevented some political parties from taking part in political process of the country due to the religious ideology of these parties and this was evident through a verdict which was issued by a Turkish court against the Turkish former prime minister Arbakan in the1990s. “But the Justice and Development Party led by Tayyep Recip Erdogan managed to win the elections and took power in the country during the past years.“Not just that, this party which adopts a conservative program based on religious terms of reference still insists on challenging the military institution and the country’s judicial system and this was evidenced through its attempts to impose the veil on women or at least allow them to wear it in universities and schools. This party has also managed to incorporate Islamic teachings into the country’s political life.“In spite of the above, the struggle in Turkey is not over yet, although the ruling party has significantly managed to curb the role of the military institution in the country.“Meanwhile, the government of Tayyep Recip Erdogan has tried to adopt some policies that could enable it to meet the satisfaction of the European Union and persuade the latter to accept Turkey’s membership in the Union, but the EU members in general and Germany and France in particular still oppose Turkey’s entry into the EU.“Such being the case, we have observed that Turkey is currently trying to play a significant role in the Middle East and this was evident through its mediation role between Iran and the West. Not just that, Turkey at the moment looks biased towards the Arab attitudes in terms of the Arab-Israeli struggle and this has resulted in tense relations with Israel and the West.“Now the question is: Will Turkey be in a position to go ahead in such an unpaved way on the internal and external levels, particularly in the wake of its patronage for the Freedom Flotilla which tried in vain to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip and ended in confrontation with Israel where the latter resorted to violence and prevented the Flotilla from directly sailing to the Gaza Port which resulted in the death of nine activists — four of them Turks.“In conclusion, we suggest the government of Erdogan has made significant progress in terms of challenging the Turkish reality and the world at large and this may have certain reflections. Anyway, it is expected to be cleared during the next few weeks or may be during the forthcoming elections.â€Also:“The Turkish Prime Minister Tayyep Recip Erdogan has adopted the recent attitude just because Israel has killed many Turkish citizens,†columnist Fahd Al-Hadari wrote for Arrouiah daily Friday.“In other words, Erdogan’s attitude in question can be seen as ‘natural reaction’ which has nothing to do either with Islam or with Arabs or the Gaza Strip of Palestine.“In this context, we say Turkey recognized the Zionist entity and Israel as a State in 1949 and since then has been considering Israel as very close ally. This was evident through the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two states with Turkey having an embassy in Tel Aviv and Israel in Ankara.“Apart from the above, we have observed that Turkey has been playing a major role in supporting the Israeli economy, given the fact Turkey imports goods from Israel worth $3 billion per annum, while Israeli military exports to Turkey range from $2 to $5 billion per annum. On the tourists level, the statistics show Turkey receives 800,000 Israeli tourists per annum.“On the other hand, we have observed that the close relationship between Turkey and Israel is crowned by military maneuvers between the two countries from time to time and this is real friendship. “Such being the case, we wonder, if we should call the friend of Israel kind or hero? And how has Erdogan reacted when our local newspapers portrayed him as a hero on the front pages?â€â€œThe brutal attack by the Israeli commandos in international waters against peace activists who were trying to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid did not come as a surprise because the Israeli history is full of brutal and barbaric crimes against innocent unarmed people,†columnist Faisal Al-Ali wrote for Al-Dar daily Friday.“Speaking of the Turkish attitudes towards Arabs and regional issues in general and towards the Palestinian cause in particular, they have been motivated by the Tayyep Recip Erdogan-led ruling party, the Justice and Development Party’s realization about the mood of the Turkish people which currently sympathizes with the Palestinians after the party came to power 12 years ago.“However, the Turkish Prime Minister is known to be adamant and is distinguished for being steadfast and confrontation against the Zionist government. This happened although the Turkish-Israeli relations in the past were ingrained at economic, military and political levels.“But the Turkish party is seemingly determined to relinquish its relationship with Israel for the sake of the Arab issues including the Golan Heights of Syria, Shba’a Farms of Lebanon and the Palestinian cause.“Not just that, the Turkish government has categorically turned down the aggressive Israeli polices and started requesting the international community to put pressure on Israel and punish it for its recent aggression on the Freedom Flotilla.â€â€œThe al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawaheri and some others have been selected by foes of Islam in order to impose them on the Muslims,†columnist Ali Al-Ajmi wrote for Alam-Alyawm daily Thursday.“The al-Qaeda represents a name that has been designed to frighten the Muslim nation. Now, let us wonder, aren’t the teachings of Islam too clear? And don’t these teachings call for tolerance?“As a matter of fact, al-Qaeda combatants supported by the United States of America in the past fought the Union Soviet or the so-called communist influence in Afghanistan at that time.“However, these combatants in cooperation with the US managed to halt the communist influence in Afghanistan and force the then Soviets out of Kabul.“Later the Taleban movement ruled Afghanistan and saw the methods adopted by the United States of America as backward — maybe because they considered this regime illegitimate and had nothing to do with Islamic Sharia. On the background of this scenario the United States of America occupied Afghanistan and toppled Taleban and put Hamed Karzai in charge, a well-known merchant, as the new president of Afghanistan. “Following their occupation of Afghanistan, the Americans started carrying out some democratic actions seemingly engineered to serve their own interests and eventually bestow legitimacy on their agents in that country, but these actions failed and faced the same fate of the US actions in Iraq.â€â€œWhat do interrogation lovers want from people? In other words: what’s next? What’s new? What is your next step? You have presented more and what was the result? Lets talk about its effect on democracy first and then on its impact on Kuwait. You lawmakers and wise people, what is next?†columnist Abu Khaled wrote for Al-Hurriya daily.“Is it Kuwait’s fate to stay in this merciless circle forever? Should it continue to suffer and pay the cost with its wealth, resources, stability and dreams? What is the use of all this and what does it even mean? How can five or six lawmakers pull the entire Parliament and the country into this merciless circle and for whose benefit? “You lawmakers and wise people, for God’ sake, have mercy on Kuwait. Remember the sacrifices of martyrs, fathers and grandfathers and their struggle to increase the fame of the country. Think well about what you are doing and avoid Satan’s temptations. Have mercy on Kuwait and stop tearing it apart.†“Abu Abdullah, a Palestinian man, was born and educated in Kuwait. He and his friends worked sincerely until, during and even after the invasion,†columnist Bader Abdullateef Al-Menayyes wrote for Al-Qabas daily.“These noble Palestinians stayed in Kuwait throughout the invasion and did not deal with Iraqi soldiers. In fact, many of them provided water, food and other needs to Kuwaitis who were unable to leave their houses for security reasons.“But after the liberation, Abu Abdullah was fired from his job and deported, although he did not commit any mistake. He was punished for being a Palestinian. All what he did for the country went unnoticed. Why were innocent people who offered their valuable services to the country for several years denied their rights?â€â€œThe deposed tyrant of Iraq used expressions and words that were unfit for a person in the president’s post. He created a unique culture and winded up his speech with a famous sentence ‘Go away the despicable.’ Incidentally, it was he who ended up in a hangman’s noose,†columnist Talal Al-Saeed wrote for Al-Seyassah daily.“These days, a certain lawmaker has started using the Saddam language and even went to the extent of describing his colleagues as ‘defeatists and prostrates.’“The country, however, doesn’t tolerate such behavior for long. So, he better be nice to the state and its people, because we, the people of Kuwait, deserve better.†“It is the country’s responsibility to provide good education, health facilities, employment opportunities and so on to youths who are the future of the country, but unfortunately, we are not doing enough,†columnist Dr Yaqoub Ahmad Al-Sharrah wrote for Al-Rai daily.“A country’s future depends on youths, especially if the vast majority of population falls in this group. Several countries set future strategies to deal with the youth and see that good education, housing, health, employment and other necessary services were made available to them.“It is dangerous to neglect the youth and leave them without proper guidance. However, many countries, including Kuwait, are not aware of the consequences of not paying enough attention to youths whose energies need to be directed to constructive and positive activities and work. Unfortunately, the country doesn’t notice problems until they grow and become big with time.†“The self-centeredness of most MPs and the indecisiveness of some ministers is aggravating our political problems,†columnist Mohammed Ahmed Al-Mullah wrote for Al-Shahid daily.“Also, the virus of corruption has spread considerably and smear campaigns are being launched against all the well-wishers of the country. The embezzlers of public funds are trying to ‘purchase’ and manipulate the mass media such that it has now started affecting the homeland.“There are traitors who are trying to divide the society, corruption is rampant in government authorities, law has become toothless and some merchants feel the State was created only for them. This has caused maximum losses to the country and has prevented it from developing.†“We have been witnesses to the total disaster the Popular Labor Bloc has experienced in recent times. Therefore, it will not be considered as strange, if any of the bloc members or even all of them began screaming loudly and hurling accusations or insults at other, because the bloc is a cradle for rudeness and poor mannerism,†Ahmad Bin Fahd wrote for Al-Sabah daily.“The bloc members, as usual, have organized their seminars to attack the government and other individuals supporting the government. However, they seem to have forgotten the country is represented by only one figure, in the person of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah.“I express appreciation to citizens from the Fourth Constituency who declined to attend seminar the bloc held recently, in order that they might not observe the bloc’s ‘funeral’, while seeking the interests of the nationâ€.“The grilling proposal submitted by MP Khalid Al-Tahous was ‘still born’ as expected, seeing that it lacked the backing of the majority of the MPs,†Hassan Al-Mosawi wrote for Al-Jarida daily.“The session did not enjoy any media hype, as was the case with the previous grilling episodes, irrespective of the grilling involving the Prime Minister. So, we need to dwell on the aspects of the grilling. The focus of the bloc’s failure was rooted in determination by some bloc members to submit the proposal without adequate consultation, which caused misunderstanding among the bloc members.“The walkout by the sponsor of the grilling, MP Khalid Al-Tahous, after it was settled the session should be held in private, was without enough justification. However, it has been a big blow to the government, and I wish the government had allowed an open session, in order to find out if the lawmaker could stand by his word, considering the outcome was already known.“The use of uncouth language was the bane of the grilling because some MPs saw it as the shortest way to enforce their opinion on others. We hope the MPs will change their style of prioritizing frivolities, while they try to win cheap popularityâ€. “The conflict between religious and civil thought is not restricted to Islam alone and it has been noticed among followers of other religions as well,†columnist Ahmad Al-Mulaifi wrote for Annahar daily.“If religious edicts contradict a country’s legal laws, the former is not accepted. Also, supporters of judiciary system, point out at loopholes in religious edicts and somehow try to prevent their implementation and this sometimes even leads to violence.“We can witness this scenario in Egypt where conflicts are taking place due to the allowing of second marriage among Orthodox Christians. The conflict reached its peak when an influential religious figure stated ‘we only follow instructions of the holy Bible and do not take orders from civil authorities’.†“The government’s insistent on holding the grilling session submitted against HH the Prime Minister on the sporting issue in private, and withdrawal by members of the Popular Labor Bloc, who had initially refused the session being held in private, brings to mind the outcome of the grilling, just as the questioning ended two days ago,†Dha’ar Al-Rashidi wrote for Al-Anba daily.“The situation was turned upside down after the Popular Labor Bloc announced it was going ahead with the grilling, even if the sessiion would be held in secret. I believe their approval of a secret session opposes the fact that it would be difficult for the government to respond to the detailed pivots of the grilling, amid the 45 minutes video presentation.“Regardless of the outcome of the grilling, the only advantage will be the Popular Labor Bloc coming back to the field, as my partner Yousef Al Mubaraki pointed out in his article the day before yesterday in Al Qabas. Although, I am not aware of the various blocs, and I started reading about them after the grilling proposal against HH the Prime Minister, I can boldly say we cannot attain any development in this situation.â€â€œDuring the Yemeni civil war between its North and South in 1994, the government of President Ali Abdullah Al-Saleh alleged that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were aiding Southern Yemenis in their bid to secede, as announced earlier in April 1990,†columnist Hassan Ali Karam wrote for Al-Watan Arabic daily.“The Yemeni government alleged that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia combined funds and shipped arms and ammunitions to Southerners. Frankly, we were not in a position to extend any help as the Gulf War issue was paramount on our minds. Saudi Arabia was not better than us at that time, because the Gulf War was a common problem and both countries did not have resources to pursue another move.“The Yemeni government got military assistance from Jordan and Iraq whose soldiers bombarded the South in an unjustifiable, vengeful and brutal manner. The government should change its policies and reactions to achieve peace in the South, because it not easy to reach any consensus for national unity by mounting pressure on the Southerners or GCC countries close to the South.†— Compiled by Zaki Taleb By: Compiled by Zaki Taleb e ugg australia Having eventually been rescued under cover of darkness, he had his wounds dressed.
