One of the greatest weaknesses of the Islamic world today is the lack of critical introspection. Centuries-old unjust treatment from the West made it easier to hold it responsible and it is clear that this perspective does not exclusively stem from psychological factors. Western nations have made lasting impressions on the Islamic world and sentenced societies to live within arbitrary borders and under autocratic governments. Therefore, is it not surprising in today's globalized world that young Muslims try and attain the forgiveness of the West. A natural extension of this outlook is the failure to evaluate how oneself contributed to this state of affairs. While Muslims may not view themselves as completely uninvolved, they do search for the source of the problem "outside." As a result, a categorical "Muslim" identity and its other, the "West," forms.Thus, those who see themselves as Muslim will naturally feel solidarity with other Muslims. The foundation of this solidarity is based on the fact that other Muslims are victims and have good intentions. When life compromises the good, with victimized Muslims on the one hand and selfish, self-serving Westerners on the other, politics becomes simple. Furthermore, activities that can cause discomfort, such as self-criticism and introspection, are put to one side.ISIS is like a meteor that has hit the earth. Neither the Taliban in Afghanistan nor al-Qaida, the extreme representation of Wahhabi Salafism, has warranted such a reaction. Because even though they may have done wrong, they did so for a "just cause." The West has now galvanized to fight these violent "strangers" and have in turn gained widespread support from the leaders of the Muslim world. The savagery of the Taliban's punishments or al-Qaida's targeting of innocent people caused unrest among the Turkish public however, while many disapproved of their actions they found comfort in seeing the other side as guiltier. This wasn't the case for ISIS because its organization does not discriminate in regard to national identity nor does it make an effort to rationalize or even issue propaganda out of its actions. Their expansion is based on, fueled by and made stronger with the naked violence they commit. ISIS is slaughtering Muslims indiscriminately, regardless of their sect. Strangely, this has given Islamic circles inside Turkey an opportunity for bilateral reconsideration.ISIS's execution of Western journalists has only made reactions of shame and disgust toward the radical organization more apparent. While such events were regarded as expected occurrences in the course of war, Westerners executed by ISIS are acknowledged as victims of a humanitarian crisis today. This shocking experience has urged Turkish Muslims to take a closer look at themselves. Self-criticism was in fact discovered during the second half of the 1990s in this country, and directly affected the AK Party's formation.But this time, rather than being simply a matter of how Muslims are going to live, it extends to what kind of foundations Islam has laid out. No one is placing the blame of ISIS on Islam. When considered in the light of religious history, this would have been ridiculous. However, understanding in Islamic society is now being evaluated far more clearly. An important maxim in Islam is respecting dissent, as long as it is constructive, however, under favorable circumstances, some parts of this pluralist structure may breed an army of cutthroats.
