Joe Biden’s April 24 statement acknowledging the Armenian Genocide (1915–1923+) carried out by Turkey was welcome, but flawed. Indeed, “Turkey” appears nowhere in the document. Moreover, the State Department swiftly undermined Biden’s virtuous-sounding words. American acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide isn’t even new. The U.S. House has passed several resolutions on the Genocide. And […]
Erdogan: Those in Europe ‘who once targeted the Jewish community now have turned Muslims into the main target’
As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to persecute Christians in his own country, he’s busy claiming that Muslims are being victimized by the so-called “far right” in the West. It has apparently never occurred to Erdogan that the ubiquitous threat of jihad, the massive slaughter of Christians globally for the goal of establishing a […]
The Big Turkish Myth: ‘There is no Anti-Semitism in Turkey’
Since Islamist terrorist groups in Gaza started indiscriminately throwing rockets on Israeli civilians on May 10, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been bashing Israel with anti-Semitic slurs. On May 17, for instance, referring to Jewish people, Erdogan said: “It is in their disposition that they are only satisfied by sucking blood.” That hateful […]
Erdogan claims Israel restricts religious freedom after converting Hagia Sophia to mosque and oppressing Christians
“Erdoğan’s concern for religious freedom is bitterly ironic in light of his appropriation of Hagia Sophia and Chora monastery as mosques, and of Turkey’s ongoing restriction of the rights of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the remaining Christians in the country.” More comments below. More on this story. “Erdoğan: Mobilize Christians Against Israel,” by Jules Gomes, […]
Erdogan: ‘Virus of Islamophobia’ is turning Europe into ‘open air prison’ for Muslims
“Europe, where 35 million Muslims live today, including 6 million Turks, is increasingly turning into an open-air prison for our brothers and sisters,” he claimed, without elaborating on what he meant. Erdogan did not elaborate on what he meant because he knew full well that the catch-all phrase “Islamophobia” has become a powerful tool of […]
Erdogan asks pope to ‘mobilize the Christian world’ to support the jihad against Israel
Centuries ago, popes spearheaded the resistance to the advancing jihad. But Erdogan knows what he is dealing with in Pope Francis, and it isn’t exactly the spirit of the Crusades. Whatever else he may be, Pope Francis is the perfect pope for a Europe that has discarded and no longer appreciates its own culture and […]
Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt condemn Israel’s ‘crackdown on Palestinians’
The latest round of jihad aggression against Israel was instigated on the Temple Mount by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Thousands of Palestinians gathered at the Temple Mount ahead of Jerusalem Day, armed with rocks and other makeshift weapons. The Palestinians then started rioting, hurling rocks, and forcing police to enter the Temple Mount compound. […]
Turkish media’s ‘Palestinian activist’: ‘Erdogan, come liberate Palestine. Come establish the Ottoman Empire again.’
The Palestinian mobs rioting in Jerusalem are being whipped up by various Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim leaders, each trying to obtain some benefit from the disorder. Mahmoud Abbas has been using the property dispute between Jewish owners and Arab tenants in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem to whip up Palestinian rage that […]
Turkish schoolbooks glorify jihad and martyrdom, include anti-American messages, sympathy for ISIS
Jihadist regimes have long understood the benefits of indoctrinating children to wage jihad and glorify martyrdom. And so it is no surprise that under Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the jihad ideology has spread into schools: According to a recently released analysis of 28 Turkish textbooks, that country’s education system, which was once a model […]
Even Biden’s Handlers’ Recognition of Armenian Genocide Plays Into Iran’s Hands
My latest in PJ Media: Old Joe’s Biden’s handlers appear hell-bent on appeasing Iran. The Associated Press reported Wednesday that “the Biden administration is considering a near wholesale rollback of some of the most stringent Trump-era sanctions imposed on Iran in a bid to get the Islamic Republic to return to compliance with a landmark 2015 […]
