Erdogan’s rage at Nobel laureate Peter Handke, discussed in the last hour, is not singular. All over the world women celebrated International Woman’s Day on Friday, March 8. Large crowds of women, by the thousands and tens of thousands, marched through the center of cities in dozens of countries, holding signs aloft and chanting feminist […]
Turkey’s Erdogan slams Nobel laureate Peter Handke for “encouraging enemies of Islam”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has angrily lashed out against awarding Austrian writer Peter Handke with a Nobel Prize. Handke is accused of denying the 1995 Bosnian genocide and of being a “great admirer of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic.” In a Jihad Watch article, Hugh Fitzgerald stated this about Handke: Peter Handke, a writer, […]
US Defense Intelligence Agency says Turkey, Qatar supported al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra Front
These countries are not allies of the United States and should not be treated as such. “US Defense Intelligence Agency says Turkey, Qatar supported al-Nusra Front,” by Abdullah Bozkurt, Nordic Monitor, December 10, 2019: Turkey and Qatar likely provided support to Syrian al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusra, or the al-Nusra Front, the US Defense Intelligence Agency […]
Turkey’s Erdogan slams France’s Macron for using words “Islam” and “terrorism” together
Islamic supremacists routinely try to force Westerners into believing that violence has nothing to do with Islam, even though the 1400-year connection between the two is as plain as the nose on anyone’s face, and plainly stated doctrines in the Quran and Hadith to back up the connection. It is also well known that not […]
Greek PM chides Turkey for not recognizing Ottoman genocide against Greek Christians
Given Erdogan’s dream of reviving the Ottoman caliphate, and its increasing bellicosity in the Mediterranean, this is not simply a matter of historical interest. “Greek PM chides Turkey for genocide against Christians,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, December 8, 2019: ATHENS – Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced Friday the need for international recognition of […]
Erdogan: A Muslim cannot be a terrorist; Islam does not produce terrorists
“You cannot bring the words terror and Islam together. If you keep doing it, then we are condemning those who do it.” This is a familiar sleight-of-hand. It is Islamic jihad terrorists who bring terror and Islam together. When they do that, Erdogan says nothing. But when non-Muslim foes of jihad terror point out that […]
France’s Macron on Turkey: “Sometimes they work with ISIS proxies”
Macron is right about this. Turkey’s support for the Islamic State has long been obvious in numerous ways. Back in 2015, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, I noted that Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was aiding the Islamic State in the ultimate hope of co-opting its caliphate and making it part […]
Chief advisor to Erdogan: “The Islamic world should prepare an army for Palestine from outside Palestine”
Why should the Islamic world do this? Establishment policymakers in the US and Europe have no explanation for this, and doubtless do not understand it. What does Islam have to do with what they assume is a conflict over land, or settlements? Find out in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East […]
Erdogan: Turkish forces are “heroes of the Mohammadian Army,” mosques recite “Conquest” chapter of Qur’an
“Across Turkey’s mosques, the Diyanet, or the directorate of religious affairs, organized calls to prayer and recitation of the ‘Conquest’ chapter in the Quran, broadcasting it over loudspeakers. Turkish mainstream media, including state-run Anadolu Agency, broadcast Islamic clerics telling followers the northeast Syria operation was ordained by God. The pro-government media outlet shared dozens of […]
The Thirty-Year Genocide in Turkey
Lindsey Graham was criticized last week for blocking a Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, and deservedly so. Despite the well-financed efforts of successive Turkish governments to convince the world that there never was an Armenian genocide, but only some clashes between the Ottomans and Armenians who “treacherously” took the side of Russia during the […]
