Not by a long shot. The rulers of the Ottoman Empire were the Sultan, in political matters, and the Caliph, in spiritual matters. Shiites (shia) are a sect of Islam vigorously opposed by the Ottoman Empire and were often seen as a fifth column with loyalties to the Ottoman Empire's rival: the Safavid Persian Empire.
After the Ottoman Empire's defeat at the Battle of Vienna in 1683, it marked the beginning of a gradual decline for the empire. The failed siege led to a series of conflicts known as the Great Turkish War, culminating in significant territorial losses in the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. This defeat shifted the balance of power in Europe, encouraging other nations to challenge Ottoman dominance and contributing to the empire's eventual fragmentation. The battle is often seen as a turning point that initiated a prolonged retreat from central Europe.
Nobody wants to resurrect the Ottoman Empire per se. Turkey's current foreign policy is seen as the "New Ottoman Empire" since Turkey is trying to reach out in a dominant position diplomatically to former Ottoman countries. However, Turks are quite happy with the way the current democracy works.
The ideas of Christianity were seen by many as a threat to the Roman Empire. Some believe that is why Rome eventually embraced Christianity, as to influence it.
Prince Mustafa, the son of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, died in 1553, reportedly executed by strangulation on the orders of his father. This decision was influenced by court intrigues and the political climate, as Mustafa was seen as a threat to the Sultan's preferred successor, his son Selim. His death marked a tragic end to a promising heir, reflecting the brutal realities of succession in the Ottoman Empire.

Peter the great
Due to a cultural set of mores that was not seen as productive. Also, they were completely behind in many fields of technology, industry, education, production and much else that what was a modern Europe appeared to be excelling at. The cultural legacy of the ottomans when contrasted withal any European power state is equal or more illustrious. What appeared as a childish fear of technologists now being heeded as a sound concern for all the steps we have taken toward a modern existence have robbed us of the simple, pleasurable human existence and set one and all upon a path of indentured servitude from birth....
The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, is seen as the immediate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Europe, such as the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, France, and Italy, played a major role.
Turkey (or to be more precise, the Ottoman Empire) was an ally of Germany. It fought mainly against the British and also against the Russians (in the Caucasus). Given its geographical position the Ottoman Empire was a potential threat to links between Britain and India (and the Far East). It was also a potential threat (of sorts anyway) to British oil supplies from the Persian Gulf.
