Turkey welcomes Muslim Brotherhood leaders forced to leave Qatar

Sep 16, 2014 9:23 am By Robert Spencer

morsi-egyptYet another sign of Turkey’s rapid re-Islamization, which has accelerated since Erdogan became President. “Turkey to Welcome Seven Muslim Brotherhood Exiles from Qatar,” by Gianluca Mezzofiore, International Business Times, September 16, 2014 (thanks to Joshua):

Turkish PM [sic] Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Ankara would welcome seven top Muslim Brotherhood (MB) figures who are being forced to leave Qatar after heavy pressure from Gulf countries.

In a press meeting with journalists after returning from an official trip to the Arab country, Erdogan said the Islamist leaders can come to Turkey like any other foreign visitor, if they wish to do so. Turkey’s ruling moderate Islamist AK Party backed the Muslim Brotherhood after Egypt’s army ousted president Mohamed Morsi from office in July 2013.

He added that none of the figures have yet contacted Turkish officials about a possible asylum application.

Qatar asked the senior MB operatives, including secretary-general Mahmoud Hussein, to exit the country in a move that could ease the regional fight over the Gulf kingdom’s harbouring of Islamist fugitives.

Since Egypt’s military coup and subsequent outlawing of the MB and its inclusion in the country’s terror list, Qatar sheltered many of the organisation’s members and called for the reinstatement of Morsi, who was democratically elected.

However, other Gulf nations such as Saudi Arabia and UAE took Egypt’s side and publicly voiced their support for new president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Members of the Brotherhood stopped short from blaming Qatar for forcing them out. Amr Darrag, senior foreign affairs official in the Brotherhood’s former political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, said the organisation did not dispute Doah’s decision and decided to honour its request in order to avoid any embarrassment.

He called Qatar a very welcoming and supportive host. Other Brotherhood’s [sic] members include cleric Wagdi Ghaneim, Gamal Abdul Satar, Issam Teleima, Asharaf Bader Eddin, Mahmoud Hussein and Hamza Zawba.

The Brotherhood’s exodus comes as the United States are trying to drum up support for a Gulf coalition to fight the Islamic State (also known as Isis) in Syra and Iraq. Some of Qatar’s powerful clerics have been reported to have fundraised for jihadists in the Middle East, in an attempt to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

    Worse still, the Brothers have found sanctuary in Britain and America.

    On one hand, I’d love to see a MB uprising in Turkey and the imposition of sharia like they did in Egypt – that would mean Europe would stop considering Turkey as an ally (seeing Erdogan’s face when he realizes he’s going the way of Foley would just be an added bonus). On another hand, that would cause a flux of turkish muslim “refugees” to all of europe, and I doubt European leaders would do anything else than forcing European nations to welcome them.

      Turkey´s long term ambitions for the Islamisation of Europe are far from dead, they have simply, temporarily, been put on the back burner.
      Turkish Islamists appear to have realised that there is no necessity for a direct military confrontation with European powers, to achieve their objectives.
      Instead of Muslim soldiers, they have realised that all it will take, is to keep pushing in millions of Muslim “refugees” and Muslim ” asylum” seekers.
      Put more simply, European governments are doing their job for them and nary a short fired——————————————-

      I read ( many years ago–more then 10, possibly 15 or more) that Germany WANTED Turks (especially men) BECAUSE THE TURKS WOULD DO JOBS THAT THE GERMANS FELT BENEATH THEM.

      The article continued (as best I remember it) that the Germans, after (importing?-not sure what word to use) these young (18 or so to mid 30’s or so) (single) men (or, if married, without their wives) saw an increase in rapes; prostitutes being beaten, etc.

      So, now Germany is paying the price.

    Indeed, Turkey became a safe haven for all types of terrorists, including IS, Al qaeda, muslim brothers ( also the governing party AKP is a branch of MB)

    Our government officially supports them and so what they say.. There is dictatorial government in Turkey.. With these people in power do not expect anything sane or anything good for humanity..

    In the coming years ….one may assume that many Muslims will be forced to repatriate into Europe by the meddling of kufr in the MEs’ largely private affairs.

    Due to the numbers; within 10 years the Muslim vote will become critical in Europe…many Muslims will be confused by fair elections and the kufr leaders will revel in wooing them to the Tory/labour party …making them the model of peoples who like to vote and therefore are critical for the well being of the West. …that is how it will be sold… who am I to argue with this?

    Of course the Muslim brotherhood will follow along with these folk and they too will get that critical look in… over the coming years European governments will be begging the brotherhood to form a coalition with them because of their voting clout.

    How ironic – to get that bunch of people who are only used only to iron clad dictatorships ruling over them to hold the critical rights to power over kufr countries –

    Folks, let me tell you that the coming “war for Europe” is largely a myth…it won’t be forced like the IS in Iraq…Sharia will be voted in …and Kufr will say “it’s a fair cop”…they won it fair and square at the ballot box.

    How long Europe remains kufr of-course will be very interesting – you may see Europe going Islamic in your lifetime;

    please don’t blink and miss it….

      ……………………………………

      What crap—the idea that Muslims have to infest civilized Europe because of Infidel’s sporadic resistance to Jihad.

      The fact is that Muslims have been making inroads into the West for decades—and we have been foolish enough to let them do so.

      ……………………………………

      “Many Muslims will be confused by fair elections”—well, of course they will be! There is no real democracy in Dar-al-Islam, and the most devout denounce even the trappings of democracy as un-Islamic.

      And they are right—the only Islamic form of “governance” is a bloody skirmish between bloody warlords.

      And note how Rezali Mehil is again blaming the West for Muslims becoming imbedded in civilized societies.

      ……………………………………

      As this vicious Muslimah well knows, the Muslim Brotherhood is just one branch of serious Islam.

      And they don’t just “follow along with these folks”—taking Islam seriously is something every pious Muslim does, and their prime directive, as with the NB, is the imposition of Shari’ah.

      More:

      How ironic – to get that bunch of people who are only used only to iron clad dictatorships ruling over them to hold the critical rights to power over kufr countries –

      What crap—the idea that civilized democracies somehow *need* barbaric Muslims—and, moreover, need them to maintain their democracies, isn’t “ironic”—it is a bald-faced lie.

      ……………………………………

      Like most Mohammedans, Rezali Mehil appears to believe that democracy means mob rule—that it is possible to vote in oppression and savagery, and that they means the system is working.

      But true democracy maintains legal safeguards for minorities and the individual—something Mohammedans have no concept of.

      More gloating from this foul Muslimah—never mind that such Islamization, if Europe allows it to occur—will almost certainly be Sunni, and will put Rezali Mehil and her fellow Shi’ites at risk.

      She is so entranced by the specter of the Islamization of the West that her own beheading at the hands of her more orthodox coreligionsts must seem a small price to pay.

        Great response to “rezali mehil”, Graven!

        The mixed-up and chaotic world where “rezali mehil” lives, is demonstrated in her evil mindset, which is part and parcel of evil islam. Yes, her comments are convoluted and quite strange and, at times, very sick and perverted, but they do serve as *Exhibit A* in helping us counter islamic supremacists, and their ilk, and at every level–including low-life’s like “rezali mehil”.

        Graven, you always do such a brilliant job of unraveling the madness that revolting “rezali” offers here. Take care, my friend.

          Yes, Champ—Rezali Mehil’s foul posts always give us a glimpse into the diseased Muslim mind-set. *Ugh*.

    Unbelievably, here in the UK, thousands of people choose Turkey as their holiday destination! They seem completely oblivious of the dangers.

    • Laura says

      Sep 17, 2014 at 5:50 am

      Right Judi, and Egypt too (at least the ‘safe’ parts) and Tunisia, Morocco, Dubai and other countries with majority muslim rule. As you say, they are oblivious to the dangers, perhaps the exotic nature of their destination, plus the relatively low cost, overrides all other considerations?
      A basic first step towards resistance to further islamisation might be the boycott of all muslim businesses, and holiday destinations, I mean, who wants to come home in two pieces?

    • umbra says

      Holidaying in islamic countries for non-believers could feel like playing Russian roulette (with a revolver). The bullet may not strike each time, but eventually it will. Holidaying is isis controlled territory is like equivalent to Russian roulette with automatic pistols.

    Am I in a time warp or something?

    I seem to recall, a few months ago, when Turkey had the (coal) mine disaster that killed a few hundred people, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his party were virtually (metaphorically speaking) kissing Bibi’s butt, to normalize relations between Turkey and Israel, and Bibi was stalling.

    Now, it seems that Recep Tayyip Erdogan has turned 180 degrees; he blasted Israel during the Gaza fighting (saying that they “were worse then the Nazis”) (never mentioning Hamas firign rockets at civilian targets, nor Turkey’s great history of genocide).

    Is he schizophrenic or just a lying , crooked Muslim politician?

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 18, 2014 at 3:21 pm

      Erdogan has been steadily Islamizing Turkey for a decade now—but he is still willing to use the West from time to time if it is convenient. Typical “slow Jihad” Muslim, really.
