Other times, we criticize the European Union for pretending to be powerless or blame the Arab regimes that "sold out" the cause of Palestine and Jerusalem.

On other occasions, we complain about the fragmentation of the Islamic world and the ummah – or its lack of existence.

Some observers even criticized Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu’s completely justified remarks, "We keep issuing condemnations, but the ummah expects us to take action." They asked which ummah exactly expects us to take action, recalling ongoing conflicts among Muslims themselves.
