In November last year, a secret meeting was held in a hotel in the small city of Potsdam near Berlin, attended by some representatives of political parties and Nazi groups. But the topic discussed was particularly frightening: the mass deportation of people living in Germany who are not citizens or cannot be assimilated.
A team of investigative journalists learned about this secret meeting and exposed it. After the news was published last week, large demonstrations began in various cities in Germany.
The reason behind the great reaction was the attendance of figures from the far-right Alternative for Germany party and the Christian Democratic Party – also led by former Prime Minister Angela Merkel – at this meeting.
Deportation to Africa
According to the news, far-right activist Martin Sellner presented a report at this meeting describing the deportation of foreigners living in Germany who have not obtained citizenship or cannot be absorbed to a country in Africa. It is estimated that the number of people to be deported reaches two million.
This secret meeting revived the debate over the deportation of Nazi-era Jews from Germany. Everyone, including Prime Minister Olaf Scholz, reacted to the issue and discussed dissolving the Alternative for Germany party.
Although the incident began by talking about the Nazi period and the deportation of Jews from Germany, I think it makes us aware of another danger, which is the “Reconquest” event, which describes the forced expulsion of Muslims and Jews from Andalusia in 1492.
The rise of the far right is a security problem
One of the first actions taken last year by Professor Ibrahim Kalin, head of the National Intelligence Service (MIT) of Turkey, was the establishment of the National Intelligence Academy. This academy recently published its first report under the title: “Extreme Right Movements in Western Countries.”
The report studies the rise of right-wing extremist movements around the world and their tendency to violence, which is considered one of the most important security threats. He points out that anti-Muslim actions increased, especially during 2023, with more than 50 mosques being attacked in Germany alone in 2023. In Europe, 206 protests were held in front of the diplomatic missions of Turkey, Niger, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Morocco, and Algeria. , Iraq, and Egypt, some of which included burning the Qur’an.
The report warns that the rise of the far right in the world, especially in Europe, poses a major threat, and that European countries cannot solve this problem unless they are open to international cooperation.
Exile Muslims and foreigners from Europe
The movement that aimed to destroy the Andalusian state established by Muslims in Spain between 756 and 1492 and expel Muslims from Spain was called the “Reconquista Movement.”
Muslims, who were required to either become Christians or choose death, had to leave Spain for this reason. After this exile, the Jews also followed them. The largest Jewish immigration to Ottoman lands was in 1492.
The number of Muslims killed and exiled during the major genocide is unknown. However, it was certainly the largest exile and genocidal movement in European history.
I have been thinking for years that this terrible idea of exile is spreading more and more in Europe, and is about to become a project by the day; Because anti-Muslim sentiment (Islamophobia), anti-Semitism, and xenophobia have increased alarmingly in Europe.
Far-right parties are now either in power or the second largest parties in countries such as Italy, Hungary, France, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. 10 years ago, no one had heard of these parties. In the next decade, many of these xenophobic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Semitic parties will come to power.
I am absolutely certain that the idea of expelling foreigners and Muslims from Europe, which was just an idea before, will turn into a project and a movement. The secret meeting that was revealed in Germany is one of the most prominent examples of this. European countries cannot prevent this great danger.
On the other hand, Islamic countries did not fully understand that a new wave of exiles might occur in Europe, where 30 million Muslims live.
Everyone talks about the migrants trying to go to Europe by crossing the Mediterranean, but one day they may also have to talk about the 30 million Muslims who will be forcibly migrated from Europe to Muslim countries and Africa.
