What does Moor who found wealth mean?

Maghreb!

The name given to the northwestern region of Africa at the time.

The Iberian peninsula, Malta and Sicily, which were under Muslim rule in history, were also considered to be included in this region.

Today, the regions of Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Western Sahara are called Maghreb.

The phrase "Moor who found wealth" is an expression used for the pirates who dominated the Maghreb coast since the 16th century.

Once upon a time, they used this expression not as an insult, but as a bit of a joke.

Its main meaning is to feel happy as if you have attained great wealth.

So what are you so happy about? It is used to say "Do you think you found something very valuable?"

Are you aware of how vulgar language politics has become lately?

Nerves are at their peak.

It doesn't matter whether they are sitting in the most valuable positions in the state or even if they are the leaders of a party, politicians have started to address each other with unpleasant words.

Let alone bad words, they do not even hesitate to slander.

Not all of them, but unfortunately, among those who are extremely ambitious, there are those who cannot control their language even in this holy month of Ramadan.

For what sake?

For the sake of votes!

As if they are going to have seats in local elections, their purpose is not to serve, I think they see those seats as sources of finance for politics.

That's why this election is so important for those whose only concern is profit.

In particular, the government says that we must take Istanbul.

They revealed these goals the day the presidential election result was announced.

Is Istanbul, whose stones and soil are golden, so important?

This means it is important for the government!

***

As I wrote before, I do not vote in local elections because I live abroad.

So for now I'm just waiting, let's see what our nation will decide. Who will he choose?

It is said that there are many voters who will not vote, many who are resentful.

I've already written about the results of this.

If you don't vote, you are voting for the winner of the election.

If you agree, I have nothing to say to this, but don't cry later!

I think you should go ahead and cast your vote, so that you too can contribute to choosing the right candidate.

In this process, let me tell you an unfortunate Bedouin joke.

Why am I telling jokes?

I don't know, I read it somewhere, I liked it. I wanted to share the joke with you. For some reason, this joke came to my mind when old expressions like Moorish and so on came to the fore.

Since it's Ramadan, I'm changing the joke a little bit, of course! The original takes place in a bar, but let's use ayran drunk in an ayran shop instead of beer drunk in a bar.

If you are ready, read it.

***

A man was sitting at the famous ayran shop in the evening and ordered himself a glass of sparkling ayran.

The ayran came, after the waiter left, the sad and thoughtful man was about to drink the ayran, but a large man had just entered the room and sat at his table. Let's call it a Moor who had found some goods, let's say this is a large character, for the sake of our article. Yes, the Moor sat at his table and drank the ayran.

He asked our sad man, who opened his eyes wide, "It's okay, brother, do you have any objections?"

He said, "We don't have a sad and thoughtful man. What objection do I have?" I'm just surprised at how unlucky I am, and at the same time, I feel sad.

In response to the large Moor who shouted, "What misfortune are you talking about?", the man began to explain.

He said in the morning, I quarreled with my wife again, my wife said she was going to divorce you, the argument went on, so I was late for work, the boss got angry again, this time he fired me, so I thought he must be upset, at least I should go and please my wife.

But I found my wife in bed with someone else at home, I was devastated, I said I couldn't live like this and decided to find the gun that was my father's heirloom and shoot myself.

Luckily the gun jammed!

I thought I would hang myself with a rope, but this time the rope broke.

I thought I'd turn on the natural gas and drown myself in gas, but I hadn't paid the bill, the economic situation is known, they cut off the natural gas, but that didn't happen.

So I thought I'd go and poison myself with rat poison. Of course, you can't pour poison into your mouth and drink it.

I came here, I told myself to drink buttermilk, I poured it into the poisoned drink, I was about to drink it, you came and poured the poisoned ayran into your head.

I'm surprised at how unfortunate a Bedouin I am.

***

I was going to say that your big man was just as happy as a Moor when he found a property, but I think I should probably say that our big man was the real unfortunate Bedouin.

Anecdote is an excuse of course, my aim was to share the meaning of this expression with you.

Maybe some of you know this before, but I honestly didn't know it. I was curious and looked it up in the dictionary.

The definition of the word Moorish in the dictionary is "Western".

In fact, Moorish is an Arabic word, and its root is the same as the word "western".

So it's true, the word means western, as you know, western means west in Arabic.

But if that's the case, I was wondering why Fatih Erbakan said "he's like a Moor who has found wealth", but it turns out that our esteemed president pinned a badge on someone who left his party to the ruling party, and that's why he said so.

While I was wondering what the meaning of the dictionary has to do with a westerner who has acquired wealth, it turns out that what Fatih Erbakan actually meant when he said "like a Moor who has acquired wealth". He literally called our president a pirate.

I think our esteemed president will not fall short of this promise.

Anyway, whatever their situation is, let them handle it themselves, even if this election ends well and the atmosphere calms down a bit.

There should be more important issues on the country's agenda, we are stuck with local elections. Elections are important, but the nation has bigger problems before the elections.

Let's let the people of the city choose whoever they think is most suitable for them, what do party leaders have to do with local elections? Frankly, I don't understand at all.

Is Istanbul that valuable to you?

I really don't understand at all, don't be surprised, local governments are the elections that concern that city. Normally, mayors do not even need to be party members. As long as there is someone who will serve the city.

Is it worth it to hold rallies in huge areas, why are you tiring our great president? Look, people don't come to rallies anymore like they used to. You are disgracing the man.

Let each candidate deal with it on his own, in the city in which he is a candidate, this is a local election, people already know who they will vote for, do you think they will be influenced and change their mind at the last minute?

Everyone has already said whatever they wanted to say.

***

Anyway, as I said, I'm waiting for the election to be over, then whatever the bitter prescription is for this nation to drink, drink it and fix this economy.

People are hungry, brother, what a rally, they are not hungry just because they are fasting, they are really hungry!

Go first and find a solution to this hunger! Your job is to manage the country! Not even one minister is in place, they are all out in the squares asking for votes for the government's candidate. I wonder if the candidate has no other choice since there is no goodness in himself?

With love and respect to everyone from Moscow.
