The Turks nowadays have a problem concerning how they perceive themselves. They think they're still a great nation like the early pious Ottomans, who were very actively engaged in Jihâd and produced great scholars, however the truth nowadays is that the Turks are a nation riddled with ignorance, bid'ah, secularism, nationalism, effeminate men, etc.. The Ottomans would be ashame to know the state of their descendants today.
