From Reuters, with thanks to Ruth King:
ANKARA (Reuters) - The head of Turkey's parliamentary human rights group has accused Washington of genocide in Iraq and behaving worse than Adolf Hitler, in remarks underscoring the depth of opposition in Turkey to U.S. policy in the region.The United Sates embassy said the comments were potentially damaging to Turkish-U.S. relations.
"The occupation has turned into barbarism," Friday's Yeni Safak newspaper quoted Mehmet Elkatmis, head of parliament's human
rights commission, as saying. "The U.S. administration is committing genocide...in Iraq."Never in human history have such genocide and cruelty been witnessed. Such a genocide was never seen in the time of the pharoahs (of ancient Egypt), nor of Hitler nor of (Italy's fascist leader Benito) Mussolini," he said.
This is historically outrageous, but it will no doubt sway the credulous who have already swallowed gallons of anti-American propaganda. I will only ask when Hitler's occupation forces ever risked their lives to rebuild the hospitals and schools of those who were occupied. And...where are the crematoria?
What will all these Lefties and Muslim radicals who are crying wolf about the Bushitler do when a real genocidal totalitarian comes along? Of course, they are not likely ever to have to face this question, because the genocidal totalitarian in question will most likely come from among them, and have their full support.
"This occupation has entirely imperialist aims," he was quoted as telling the human rights commission on Thursday.Elkatmis does not speak for Turkey's government but he is a prominent member of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP),
a centre-right grouping with Islamist roots which has become increasingly critical of U.S. actions in Iraq.
"Islamist roots." That may explain his huge historical blind spots. He probably has never noticed that little matter of the Armenian genocide, either, and probably would look at you quizzically if you asked him about the historical ravages of jihad and dhimmitude. The man should be presented with a gift package of books -- perhaps a starter kit of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer and Islam and Dhimmitude by Bat Ye'or.
I have a paperback copy, of Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich in my library. It is absolutely the final word, the authority of the history of Nazi Germany. This book is an indispensible addition to anyones library.
Hmm.
Islam was the only "religion" Hitler admired and respected. Source: "Hitlers Table-talk", Hugh Trevor-Roper.
Looks like a case of projection to me.
The sad thing is that this islamic moron is echoing the brain dead comments of the West's Leftists. "Bush is Hitler" , "America's Genocide Against Iraq", "Israel's Genocide Against the Palestinians." These are the kind of insane statements the Left have been making for years now. I've lost track of the number of times some Lib Dem politician or "radical" spokesman will say in an interview that "The Americans are killing millions of muslims" and the msm interviewer will never contradict the lie. If a lie is told long enough and often enough people will believe it. You only have to look at the open hostility against Israel in this country (UK) to realise that the lies of al-BBC, the Guardian, the Independent,
the universities and the muslim Council of Britain are having a trickle down effect. We have to fight these lies whereever we find them. We have to complain to news organisations if they let people get away with comments like this without demanding proof. I'm afraid that before we can successfully destroy the jihad threat to our civilisation we first have to expose the lies of the Leftists and the apologists for islamofascism. Until we have dealt with these backstabbers we will always be fighting with one hand behind our backs. No , I don't think the Left will join us in the fight against islam - their self hatred now runs so deep that they see any enemy of the non-muslims as their friend.
As for the Turkish "Human Rights" MP (pause for laughter at the idea of Turkish human rights) we can expect nothing less from the murderers of millions of Armenians, Greeks
and Kurds. These are also the people who supported the Germans in two world wars, for them Hitler was an ally. The fact that the Turkish government hasn't condemmed his statement is another good reason for keeping them out of the EU. Let's take the Ukrainians instead !
LOVE LIFE - HATE ISLAM !!!
The Bushitlerites are using kitman tactics to deflect the legitimate criticism from the Islamofascists onto poor Bush.
Always blame the other guy and you will eventually get someone to believe the lie. They are "spinning" the truth against America.
In the same article, "Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul played down Elkatmis's comments but defended Turks' right to speak freely. "In open societies everybody can way what they want" Gul told reporters."
Oh, really, Mr. Gul, and have you ignored the little matter of Article 306 (scroll down, or better still read the whole thing):

Methinks the man is aptly named.
Setanta
Turkey can never be part of the EU. If that happens, it will simply be the end of the EU. The ever increasing numbers of Turks in Germany are creating enough problems as it is, can you imagine when the borders open?
And what is happening in Romania lately? A friend of mine just came back and tells me that country is being totally overrun by Turks and Arabs! Anybody out there who knows something about that?
Elkatamis comments put him in a box with Osama. Its nothing but a call for Jihad and perhaps some of our boys will find some of his family members in Iraq as "foreign fighters".
Isn't this related to the Mandell Rule? The first one to call the other a Nazi (or compare them to Hitler without a "real" reason) loses the argument? I might be mistaken on the name of the rule, but it is something like that. Anyways, the Turks lose the argument.
Its pretty pathetic, when u all are outraged at a beheading but when a your chritian boy soldier shoots an unarmed, wounded iraqi u all cheer because its just one more dead muslim. Wake up idiots u are all hypocrites i haven seen a single comment of all u condemning the killing, torture, rape, sodomy, and abuse tbat your "heros" committed in Iraq at the Prisons. Muslims dont give a rats ass aboout your lectures on humanity when all they have to do is watch their tv screens and see bombs killing children in baghdad. If all of u really want to stop terrorism, which i think u dont because all u ever do is write blasphemy and bigotry all day, apply your knowledge u learned from the gospels and love your enemies. Oh i bet u cant because the bible is fake.
obviously a political comment by Mehmet Elkatmis to endear himself to the euro left and improve Turkey's chances of joining the EU.
Those opposing turkey's entry must keep pointing out the huge human rights violations of turkey in the last century .
To the retard:
Beslan! Remember Beslan? Killing children by the hundreds, rape murder and terror by true Islamic Jihadis! That is you religion, retard! Ever thought about how fake your dirty book is?
Mr Retard
((Muslims dont give a rats ass aboout your lectures on humanity))
I would venture that many Muslims, including yourself, have no conception of "humanity", because you divide the world into Muslims and Infidels, and believe that the former have the right to terrorise, harass and kill those non believing people at will.
This is at the core of your belief system, this hateful, cruel, bigoted, intolerant pillar of faith.
This dates back to the founder of your religion, the brigand and pederast Mohammed, who not only married a six year old girl as a fifty year old man, but also ordered the massacre, of what amounted to the first Islamic genocide, of the various Jewish tribes he had slaughtered en masse.
So, Retard, as you can see, you have no conception of humanity, believing in a fascistic ideology that brainwashes you into a rancid state of bigotry, misogyny, and sanctifies mass slaughter in the name of your Prophet and Allah.
So, Retard, your words are meaningless, they are the pathetic yelps of a tormented Jihadi.
Peace and Love to you
Go Kaffir Boy !! Way to nail the islamic troll !!!!
Great to see the likes of "retard" now and again though - helps to remind me of the kind of rabid , 7th Century throwbacks we're really dealing with.
The United States aught to just say the hell with Turkey, recognise the Kurds and set up a Kurdish State out of Northern Iraq. That would help to solve the Iraqi democratic equasion also.
The U.S. could then just let the Shittes and Sunnies battle it out and hang on to bases and access to oil fields in the North of Iraq. All the while helping to destablize and weaken the ass hole Muslims in Turkey. That would pave the way for an Arminian state to be further carved out of Turkey, with a portion of the present Turkey going to the newly founded Kurdistan.
To Hell With The Turks, we don't need them now.
