Greetings,
I’m not sure what the best translation is here either.
Here's the context – it's from the same article as my previous question:
Ama savunma amaçlı kitaplar bu tartışmayı bastırmak bir tarafa daha da tırmandırıyor.

All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

However, books written in defence of "faith" are escalating this dispute further, let alone calming down the situation.
