The "feigned retreat" is a Turkic invention

[Edgü]

I kind of heard something like that. That the enemies cut off the arms and legs of the last surviving boy and threw him into the swamp. The she-wolf found him and was taken away from him. And the she-wolf gave birth to 9 sons.

The legend is certainly beautiful, but very fantastic.

That is the mythology part

But early Turkics were kafir, why do you like them?

Because they're descendants are majority Muslim now, whether you like it or not...

[Fedora]

Anatolian Turks were the only ones who continued to have a strong military even though still weaker than the westerners till the 20th century. There were 12 million Turks compared to 100 million Russians, 35 Million French, 35 Million British. Now our populations are equal. All Central asian turkic nations were conquered by Russians.

I did not say i like or dislike that, i am also practicing Muslim, maybe in another way like you.Turk(ic)s seldom source Islam about this part of their history. Just Erdogan does it but he does not represent the Turk(ic) world.

All I know is Islam raised Turkish and Turkics to a lofty position, and once they dropped or loosened it, their position lowered.
