Tunc said: “I do not regret supporting those who battle the most barbarous organization in the world. Was [the prosecutor] expecting me to remain silent in the face of IS kidnapping, enslavement and sale of women, their beheading of those not from them, and turning children into murderers?” Yes, he was, because Turkey’s Erdogan was […]

Erdogan spokesman says Turkish intel will continue “operations” against foes inside the US
Whatever one thinks of Fethullah Gulen — and he is just as much of an Islamic supremacist as Erdogan — this is a declaration of contempt for U.S. sovereignty. Turkey is not an ally of the U.S. and should not be treated as one. “Turkish Intel Will Run ‘Operations’ Against Political Opponents On US Soil, […]
Turkey: document reveals Pastor Brunson’s real “crime” is “Christianization”
An American citizen, Pastor Andrew Brunson, is facing up to 35 years in a Turkish prison on fake “terrorism and espionage related charges.” Brunson’s witnesses were not even listened to, amid “wild conspiracies, tortured logic, and secret witnesses, but no real evidence to speak of.” Most recently, Mehmet Erdoğan, a deputy for the Turkish ruling party, […]
Turkey’s top court rejects bid to make Hagia Sophia a mosque
The Hagia Sophia is a museum now, although it does host some Islamic prayer. It was originally a cathedral, then was turned into a mosque when Constantinople fell to the warriors of jihad on May 29, 1453. In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I detail what happened on that […]

First, one might point to the economic recovery plan that Turkey followed, beginning in 2001, the brainchild of the economist Kemal Dervish, […]
Erdogan says he isn’t target of the currency crisis: “The target is Turkey. The target is Islam.”
Erdogan said this at a celebration of the Battle of Manzikert. To learn about the Battle of Manzikert and why it was such a disaster (and how it led to the Crusades), see my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. Erdogan was “calling on people to ‘take ownership of’ Mecca, Medina, […]
Turkish deputy from ruling party accuses imprisoned American pastor of looting Iraq’s gold
The absurdity of this is obvious from the photograph purporting to prove it. The photo supposedly showing a U.S. soldier named “Brown” holding a gold bar is clearly not Brunson. Nor is this kind of accusation the behavior of an actual ally. https://twitter.com/mehmeterdogan27/status/1031436840958611456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1031436840958611456&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fahvalnews.com%2Fconspiracy-theories%2Fbrunson-looted-iraqs-gold-says-akp-deputy “Brunson looted Iraq’s gold, says AKP deputy,” Ahval News, August 22, 2018 […]
