I watched only one interview of him and of Hulusi Akar during Operation Spring Shield. And I immediately became an admirer of both them. I remember Kalin's deep voice and clarity of speech. And Akar's ability to stay focus and smartly hold on to the government narrative.
Kalin's English speaking ability surprised me. So I looked up and learned that he is an American graduate. That explained a lot. I also realized for the first time that with such talented team members President Erdogan is building a generational legacy.
But learning about Kalin's theological expertise today just blew my mind. That he is a disciple of H. Nasr. That Erdogan has taken Kalin as his protégé perhaps signifies his vision for Türkiye. Which is rooted in the millennial past of the Uthmanly. My prayers and best wishes.
