And about not sensing the danger, he affirms, “Since the beginning of the second millennium, several pens have written about the Turkish invasion, and have provided a detailed description of what will happen next. But no one was able to comprehend the extent of the coming danger, until Turkey now became intellectually controlling a large segment of the Arabs, and it is actually moving in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Sudan, and has become on the borders of the rest of the Arab countries”.

Al-Kilani notes that Syria has opened the door to a Turkish invasion through drama, “The Syrian state has acted against itself, to the point of criminalizing talk about the massacre of Armenians, among the Syrian Armenians, and allowed series to enter from its gate to the rest of the Arab world. It was the first victim of that colonialism. The Turkish works were received as if they were the savior, so the Gulf channels stopped buying the Egyptian series for the Turkish benefit, and some North African channels stopped production and opened the way for the colonization of their brains. All this in the presence of a pretended Islamic sponsor, “means: a person aiming to earn money through religion,” penetrating into society to present Turkey as an alternative to the homelands, and to present the Turkish model instead of the national leadership”.

While he sees that “Al-Asmali” has a strong political and popular supporter, and whole generations have formed their awareness of the violence, bloody, incest, and insult to women presented by the Turkish series. “To the extent that the famous Turkish actress among the Arabs, Beren Saat, indicated in several press interviews that she is not satisfied with what is shown on the Turkish screen of series that encourage violence and oppression of women”.

Regarding the generations that were brought up on the Turkish series, Kilani asserts, “Groups go out in demonstrations and on social media pages in order to support the Turkish colonialist against their country, under the pretext of what they called the “Islamic Caliphate”. And as if the rightly guided caliphate was in Turkey, as if there was no caliphate in Medina, Damascus, Baghdad and Cairo. No wonder that they distort the Qur’an and the Hadith to prove that only Turkey represents Islam. We are not surprised that there are generations that will come out later to talk to us that the Prophet of Islam was Turkish, just as the black community in America speaks that the Prophet Muhammad was from Africa. Aside from the losses in Arab society from the dependence of brains on what Turkey offers, there are gains on the other side. The most important of these gains is that Turkey’s revenues from selling its series reached nearly a billion dollars in 2020 from Arabs only”.

He points to an article on a Turkish alliance website that Turkish dramas have led to the number of Arab tourists reaching more than three million Arab tourists a year, and there are more than a million from the Gulf alone who visit Turkey annually. Even after the boycott, there are still many people out of their minds who support the Turkish economy and tourism. All this in addition to the increase in Turkey’s exports of clothes and accessories in the countries of the Middle East, and the opening of many branches of Turkish brands in most Arab countries after the increase in popular demand for what they see in Turkish series and movies. Al-Asmali has turned into an important milestone in the “Islamic fashion” that has recently penetrated the Arab markets in conjunction with the dramatic invasion.

According to Al-Kilani, Al-Asmali series also led to the desire of the Arab citizen to acquire the furniture that he watched in them, which led to an increase in the imports of one of the Arab countries of Turkish furniture from 81.2 million dollars in (2013) to 159.7 million dollars in (2015). And the matter came under the influence of Turkish drama, to the extent that Arabs began to name the newborns after the characters of the series, or Turkish actors. They completely forgot the crimes committed by Turkish colonialism against the region, and made it retreat for more than 1,000 years in the path of human development, after withdrawing from it all the doctors, engineers and skilled workers, in order to build its cities and treat its people. They have deliberately impoverished and ignored their colonies.
