The Islamic concept of martyrdom involves killing Infidels and being killed in the process, as in this Qur’an verse: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “One user said […]
Erdogan vows to recapture all lands once held by the Ottoman Empire — and more
“We say at every opportunity we have that Syria, Iraq and other places in the geography [map] in our hearts are no different from our own homeland. We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited.” Apparently Erdogan means at the […]
Erdogan: “What kind of NATO membership is this? What kind of NATO alliance is this?”
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who always likes to tell us what he really thinks, is at it again. Last year he accused the people of Germany — and of the Netherlands too — of being “Nazis” for not allowing political rallies targeted at Turkish residents in Germany. He also called Angela Merkel guilty of “Nazism” for […]
Turkey’s Erdogan threatens US forces in Syria with “Ottoman slap”
Trump was right when he said NATO was obsolete, and wrong when he declared that it was “no longer obsolete.” At very least, the pretense that Erdogan’s revanchist neo-caliphate, is an ally of the United States, needs to be ended. It is already ended functionally; it just needs to be made official. “Turkey’s Erdoğan threatens […]
Erdogan: Turkish Republic is continuation of Ottomans
This is a significant statement since, unless you count the Islamic State, the Ottoman Empire was the last caliphate — the last state to claim the allegiance of all Muslims worldwide, and to present itself as the government to which all Muslims owed allegiance. But Kemal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey, would have disagreed […]
Turkish leader declares jihad on Kurds, dispatches soldiers to “decimate” them
Erdogan launched what Islamists are openly calling a jihad against the Kurdish YPG faction. Thousands of Turkish soldiers, along with tanks and artillery, have blasted their way across the Turkish border into Syria. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the model of a clever jihadist leader who employs a combination of stealth and violent means to attain his expansionist dreams […]
At Vatican, Erdogan asks Pope to help lead “concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia”
Pope Francis loves Erdogan: he gave him 50 minutes, not the usual 30 he accords to world leaders. “Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.” In reality, […]
Turkey’s Erdogan to meet with Pope, thank him for opposing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
This is not the first time a Muslim leader has thanked Pope Francis for being so very useful to the global jihad. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing […]
Erdogan: Islamic education will build “new civilization for Turkey”
The steady Islamization of Turkey is not new. Since 2002, the government has built 17,000 new mosques, and its goals stretch beyond Turkish borders. Robert Spencer speculated on January 16 that the “reason why Erdogan has been so notably dilatory in fighting against the Islamic State may be that he wants to co-opt its caliphate […]
Erdogan: “We expect the Trump administration to rescind without further delay its unfortunate decision” on Jerusalem
This is exactly the kind of intimidation that President Trump was standing up to when he announced the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. If he bows to it now, he will undo all the good work he has done in finally showing the world that intimidation and bullying are not always how to […]
