Islamic world's response to the Gaza War was pitiful and disgusting; It was a defeat and we should not call it victory
Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin who "has the ear" of Putin said that he was disgusted by the Islamic response to Israel's war against Hamas and Hizbullah. "Where is Islamic solidarity? Where is the Islamic world?", he asked, saying that only "a small population of brave Houthis" demonstrated the "Islamic warrior spirit."
Speaking on the Hira podcast, posted on YouTube on February 3, 2025, Dugin said that he was "depressed and disappointed" by the "pitiful reaction from Turkey and other Islamic countries."
He slammed what he called the "huge defeat of the Islamic world before the globalist liberal West and Israel," and said that mainstream Islam is composed of different opportunistic and corrupt regimes.
He further said that while Salafis could kill and torture innocent women and children, when it comes to the fight against Israel or the West, "they are like domestic pets. They are kittens."
