In Idlib, the killing of 33 Turkish troops, by Syrian or possibly, though less likely, by Russian troops, has led to a situation of high tension that will certainly lead to much greater clashes between the Syrian army and the Turkish forces in Idlib, and might lead to a direct conflict between Turkish and Russian […]
Syria, Turkey, and Russia, When What’s to Come is Still Unsure (Part 1)
It was not even two months ago, at the beginning of January, that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Russian President Putin seemed to be best friends forever. Turkey had continued to insist, against the wishes of the United States and other NATO members, on buying the Russian S-400 missile defense system, even if that infuriated […]
Allah’s Mischief, the Ummah’s Misery
“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and make mischief in the land is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in […]
Why did Ilhan Omar meet with the increasingly anti-American Erdogan of Turkey?
Questions that the establishment media will never ask are now being asked in an important new book: American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party by Benjamin Weingarten. And here is Weingarten detailing some of Ilhan Omar’s highly questionable dealings with rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey. “Ilhan Omar’s appalling ‘collusion’ with Turkey’s tyrant,” […]
Recep Tayyip Erdogan Calls On the Kuffar For Help
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the sulfurous President of Turkey, who relishes his role as a neo-Ottoman quasi-caliph, making policy from his 1500 room White Palace (“Ak Saray”), has run up against reality yet again. First, there was his published plan for the creation of a pan-Islamic army – no doubt intended to be under Turkish leadership […]
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Khan announces that Turkey and Pakistan will work together against “Islamophobia”
The concept of “Islamophobia” was invented by Islamic groups in order to claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from the global jihad and Islamic supremacism.

Erdogan’s Neo-Ottoman Dreams Are Not Working Out

Turkey: New accounting and auditing standards quote Quran, say “Auditor should avoid all actions for which he could be punished by Allah”
The re-Islamization of Turkey continues apace, as its hostility to the United States grows. Coincidence? No. “Turkey cites Quranic verses in codes of conduct for interest-free bank auditors,” Ahval News, December 18, 2019: Turkish authorities included Quranic verses in codes of conduct for auditors of participation banks which pay revenue rather than interest for savings, […]
Erdogan tells Turks in Switzerland not to integrate into Swiss society
Swiss authorities should not tolerate this, and should demand assimilation as a condition for immigration. But they, like other European rulers, are weak and spineless, and leading their nation down the path of national suicide. “Erdogan warns Turks in Switzerland about integration,” translated from “Erdogan warnt Türken in der Schweiz vor Integration,” by Fabian Eberhard, […]
