Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Turkey’s EU Minister warns EU to stop “Islamophobia”

Apr 12, 2014 12:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Başmüzakereci Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu“Turkey’s EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has called for a halt to racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic political discourse ahead of the European Parliament elections in May.” This is akin to the ongoing attempt by the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam. For by “Islamophobic political discourse,” Çavuşoğlu — if he is using the term the way the OIC and other purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth use it, and he almost certainly is — means any honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify jihad terror and Islamic supremacism. The effect of “halting” that, as Çavuşoğlu demands, would be a definitive end (after a long period on life support) of the freedom of speech in Europe, and then the Islamic jihadists would be able to advance unhindered and unopposed.

“Çavuşoğlu warns European Union against racism and Islamophobia,” from Daily Sabah, April 10:

BRUSSELS — Turkey’s EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has called for a halt to racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic political discourse ahead of the European Parliament elections in May.

“Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-semitism all over Europe ahead of the EP elections,” he explained at a conference on “the contribution of immigrant entrepreneurs to Europe’s growth” organized by the office of TUMSIAD, a Turkish businessmen’s association, in Brussels on Wednesday.

“Europe has suffered a lot from racism. The people of Europe still remember how the waves of racism led to wars and disasters. We need to acknowledge that European values which unite us today were established to prevent such incidences from happening again,” he said, adding that the EU and the Council of Europe were established with this goal in mind.

“I have got to say that an increase in the seats of racist parties in the European Parliament would threaten the future of the EU. Today racist parties not only use hate speech against immigrants and Muslims; but they also act and speak in a way aimed at destroying the EU and its values. This must stop immediately,” he warned.

    The Islamic campaign against free speech in the West is relentless.

    Just recently there was the trial of Tim Burton in Birmingham (*Tim Burton versus Fiyaz Mughal*) and the case of libel lodged against that author in the US.

    If the West will not implement sharia blasphemy law, the other options are libel law or race relations law. To help bring that along, the OIC can put pressure on the United Nations; just as Turkey’s EU Minister is putting pressure on the European Union.

    As the Leftist/Islamic phrase has it: “By any means necessary.”

    to Turkey’s EU Minister: I call for a halt to RACIST, XENOPHOBIC ISLAM, the biggest contributor to the world’s man made suffering since 625 AD.

      Egregious hypocrisy. Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan not long ago criticized the leader of the center-left and secular Republican Peoples Party (CHP). Erdoğan declared, “Kılıçdaroğlu is striving every bit he can to raise himself from the level of a black person to the level of a white man.”
      Kılıçdaroğlu has Kurdish ancestry. Erdoğan shows the extent of Turkish racial supremacism.

      This master-race supremacism is systemic throughout Turkey.

    The very best thing this “Turk” can do is to shut up, if he is failing to read all the signals coming out of the EU, not from the hated oppressors but from the people
    of the Christian states of Europe he will be to blame when the people of the west react to his islamsation by starting a new and MUCH needed crusade, then he will understand just WHAT has been stirred up.

    Crawl back to your gutter Turk before we come for you.

      I just heard the ratchet back of the hammer
      before Turkey shoots itself in the foot. Very
      much sounded like Turkey is ready to act
      as “Shariah Compliance Enforcers”? OK Turkey,
      Start anytime.

    “Turkey’s EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has called for a halt to racist”

    Such a hypocrite!

    Quote from his so-called ‘holy’ koran:

    005.041 Jews are men who will listen to any lie

    His koran also preaches…

    The Koran preaches discrimination against the Christians and the Jews} 005.051

    It preaches beheadings of non-Muslims} 047.004

    It preaches crucifixions and the cutting off of hands and feet} 005.033

    It preaches treason in non-Muslim lands} 008.067

    It preaches war against all non-Muslims} 008.039-033.061-009.029-004.095-002.216-009.039-009.123

    It’s a shame that the European leaders that he is addressing don’t come back at him with these facts – for the whole world to witness.

        the adolf hitler of turkey in the 21st century. As delusional and insane as the original copy (but absent the support of an advance, ingenious and properly industrialised nation). Yet he appears on course (destined) to teach EU leaders what the costs are for being imbeciles.

    just people realizing what’s going on and finding enough spine to say NO; .. suggest YOU Mr. Turkey stop living in denial .. there will be no caliphate in Europe … period… I suppose you believe that the picture of all the dead women and children in other article is just a pic of them resting after the easter egg hunt…..YOUR sins will find you out TURKEY.

    It is too bad we no longer have Popes of the Catholic Church who would don armor and take up the sword to defend Christendom from Islam.

      Islam must be fought ideologically, because it is a political ideology.

      • Gleaner1 says

        Apr 13, 2014 at 2:38 pm

        It would be nice would it not Morti, but after 6 years of trying to avoid a military confrontation with Nazism, we had to go to war in 1939 to stop it.

        When victorious, the allies then had to clean Germany of Nazism in the courts and elsewhere.

        The same thing happened with the defeat of Bonaparte, his removal led to the hunting down of all his supporters, after all, Bonapartism did cause 20 years of interstate warfare in Europe costing the French alone some 3 million dead.

        We too will have to cleanse OUR societies of all traces of Islam IF we are to know peace again.

    Europe, what is Turkey doing to halt the spread of the hate speech contained within the Quran and other Islamic texts that incite Muslims to violence against atheists, Christians, Jews and any religion except Islam? Europe, why is Turkey now a country that’s overwhelmingly Muslim after once having been a land filled with Christians. Europe, how and why did the city once called Constantinople come to be called Istanbul? Europe, does it make any sense for you to be willing to accept within your ranks Islam’s version of hatred and racism; to embrace such ideas with open arms and to accept such intolerance as being ordained by God? Please, Europe, think a little more about the lack of logic implicit in what you are being asked to do. Do not accept any country into the EU until such country has cleaned its own house of hate speech, racism and religious bigotry. Turkey as it is today is unfit to join the EU. Please, Europe, take some lessons from past history……..and also refresh your memories with the story of the Trojan Horse.

      The Muslims hated Europe and now that Europe gladly accepted, in very much the American style and way of living,they hate it even more. Anyway,no matter how many wifefactories and children they have, we will prevail

    As if things aren’t bad enough in Europe with the 25+ million Muslim migrants who’ve ensconced themselves there since the 70s what kind of hell will be unleashed upon Europe when Turkey becomes a member of the EU? Who are these Turks to lecture Europe or anyone else about tolerance when the Greek Orthodox and Catholic minorities in Turkey are 3rd class citizens in that “moderate” majority Muslim nation?

    • umbra says

      Apr 13, 2014 at 6:28 am

      Once islam achieves sufficient critical mass within the EU, islamic laws and culture will be imposed explicitly. Then, what is left of the native European population will have to decide whether or not to resist (war) or to capitulate. Either way, it is up to these Europeans to determine their own fate now, because on one else is going to. Furthermore, the is no guarantee that anyone could clean up “the mess” that appears likely to manifest itself years from now.

      • John Magee says

        Apr 13, 2014 at 3:34 pm

        Well said. The indigenous Europeans living in 2040 (that means anyone with good genes alive today aged 50 and under) in a Europe with most of its major cities and even several countries dominated by Muslims will be a Europe facing either civil war or submission to Islam. It will be a world with a USA crippled by population addicted to the welfare state voting for far left Presidential candidates worse than Obama for generations to come. Europe will not be able to count on the USA ever to come to their aid again. Those who rejoice in this very realistic scenario better pause and think about what all this means for them in the future. Their dreams about the end of Western Civilization will be their funerals too.

    who the HELL are you to talk… go first and prevent the killing of Christians in your country..
    DO u think hate speeches are worse than slitting a persons throat for being christian.
    go back to your country and preach silence. we have a right of speecha dn can say all we want

    Standard Muslim illogic.
    He says that “Islamophobia” is akin to the perennial attempt by the OIC to criminalize criticism of Islam?
    Huh?
    He says the fear and hatred of Islam is as BAD as the OIC’s attempt to make criticism (fear and hatred) of Islam illegal?

    And his solution is to … wait for it … make the hatred and criticism and fear of Islam illegal!
    (cheering and applause all around)

    • Jeanne DeSilver says

      Apr 14, 2014 at 4:28 pm

      @CornHolio – No, no, no – the author is saying that Turkey’s EU Minister and Chief Negotiator’s calling for a halt to racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic political discourse is akin to the ongoing attempt by the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam. The author gives no solution, except to say that halting “Islamophobic political discourse” and criminalizing criticism of Islam would put an end to free speach.

    Turkey’s EU minister wants Islamophobia to stop?

    It will stop when people stop following the tribal supremacist manifesto known as the Quran which tells us all that “unbelievers” (me) are scum.

  12. Reality Check says

    Apr 13, 2014 at 3:11 am

    Melit Cavisoglu (who cares how you spell it) doesn’t have the slightest idea that Europe’s defining feature is freedom of speech. Imagine accepting these people in our societies – how far the level will drop. It is the deteriorating quality of a previously excellent continent that bothers me the most. We used to have a great civilization – what happened? Of course we had problems before but we also had the resources to solve them. These people don’t aid the solutions at all – they just bring new problems that we have to deal with.

    Turkey is less modern than it seems to be. Just because it is at the gate of Europe, that doesn’t mean they have the same core values. It is the modification to our core, to our spiritual essence, that seems like a violation to me.

  13. kikorikid says

    Apr 13, 2014 at 5:51 pm

    They don’t want to modify our “Core” and
    “spiritual essense”. They want to destroy
    both and impose theirs onto us.
    You are cleaning it up for them.

    Islam has only itself to blame for its well-earned bad reputation.
