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

Turkey: Armenian neighborhoods must be turned into “cemeteries”

Oct 8, 2015 6:05 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Erdogan3

Turkey’s Muslims recently invaded with violent intent a number of Armenian (Christian) neighborhoods in Istanbul.

“These districts must be turned into Armenian and Kurdish cemeteries,” chanted the angry Turks who support the Erdogan government.

This came in response to ongoing clashes between Turkish authorities and the Kurdish Worker’s Party in the east and southeast of the nation—though it is unclear how Armenians are to blame, except in the spirit of the “collective punishment” of inferiors.

The Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople released a statement saying that it prays for an end to the chaos threatening the unity of Turkey.  It also expressed disquiet over the intentional targeting of and incitement against the Armenian community in Turkish media:

From time to time expressions of some writers targeting our community and identifying it with that terrorist group deeply insult the Armenian citizens who have always been committed to this country and possess civic consciousness. Using unjust expressions referring to the Armenian citizens considering themselves a part of Turkey is an attitude not fitting in the frames of goodness. We are convinced that the majority of our nation does not agree to these alienating expressions.

    Gee, why don’t the Turks kill a few thousand Armenians. They seem to be very good at it. How many Armenians died in the early 20th century, 1.5 million? Hell the Turks should go after the Greeks next, the Turks like killing Greeks too after all. Islam causes insanity.

      Islam is a form of the Stockholm syndrome in which the victims resolve their angry by converting to the ideology of the oppressor.

    There’s no unity in Turkey – not as the Patriarch of Constantinople would like, at least, which I suspect would be a number of people with different beliefs (political, religious, etc) living together in harmony and sharing a nationality. There are muslim Turks and then there are the filthy mongrels who are insulting allah and his messenger by not converting to islam, and they need punishing.

      ‘Unity’ in Turkey? I think that means a government-imposed crackdown on freedom of expression. Only one version of fascism may be practiced at a time.

      Turkey can only have stability with a ‘secular’, military government that follows Kemalism.

      Erdogan’s theocratic fascism will end up creating a new Ottoman caliphate.

    **“These districts must be turned into Armenian and Kurdish cemeteries,” chanted the angry Turks who support the Erdogan government.**

    Google translated the story reference to cemeteries as “mass graves” which means these angry Turks know quite well that there was a genocide of Armenians in Turkey’s past.

    This nationa lying about the Armenian Genocide is enshrined in Article 301 of the constitution with jail sentences for anyone “denegrating Turkishness” by writing about it. At even adds another 1/3 to the sentence for any Turk writing about it when in another country.

    And this is a “trusted” ally of the US; on its way to becoming another disaster as Erdogan leads them toward an Islamic Fundamentalist Revival? Ataturk whose reforms created economic and social progress for Turkey must be rolling in the grave.

    When a few of your military alliances have opposing interests, that’s necessary diplomacy. When most of your allies have opposing interests you might not be in the driver’s seat.

      Indeed, Westman. Maybe we should deluge Turkish embassies and consulates with letters of protest, and point out what these pro-Erdogan mobs reveal about so-called “anti-Turkish sentiment”.

      It is a great scandal that every free country has not already demanded Turkey to acknowledge the 1915-1924 genocides and make reparations…as well as to legislate strong protections of human rights.

      However, the Turkish addiction to FASCIST TOTALITARIANISM is hard to kick. They have had 100 years to decide if they wanted liberal democracy. So far, they have no desire for it…at least for no more than a show of democracy.

        It seems that the west always turns a blind eye to genocide of Orthodox Christians. Armenians are Orhtox as are Greeks and Serbs.
        Muslims have committed genocide on Armenians and their partners in crime Croatians together with Muslims have committed genocide on Orthodox Serbs during WW2. All one needs to do is Google Jasenovac to find out how Nazi Croatians and their partners in crime the Muslims have managed to kill hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Roma and Jews in that concentration camp.
        Is this common knowledge in the west? It’s not. 700,000 mainly Serbs, Roma and Jews killed in Jasenovac and people in the west never heard of it but 8000 Muslims killed in Bosnia and it’s classified genocide and the whole world has been made aware of it.
        So I don’t think anyone is going to worry about Turkey threatening Armenians again.

    You must really follow the history of the region to understand all of this. The Armenian GENOCIDE has been a matter of denial for a century now. Nobody talked about it, and it was denied all along, to this very day. Turkey was Muslim with some Christian neighbors. Armenians will tell you they were the first European Christians, and perhaps, that’s the problem.

    Make no mistake that there was an “old” Turkey and now there is the “new” secular Turkey. Laws were passed. Certain practices were deemed illegal. Turkey had joined the civilized world. At least they got NATO and an attempt to join the E.U. But, that’s government, and the people did not want a Democracy. They want a Theocracy. Islam is supposed to rule. Keeping Turkey secular is tenuous at best. It may not last much longer.

    Then, there are the Kurds. Some are Muslim. Some are Christian, and some can trace their roots to Jews. They are a legitimate group. They may be an ethnic minority, but they deserve full recognition. They are fighting radical Islam at every turn. We decry that Christians are being slaughtered in Syria, but we remain silent about the Kurds. They deserve recognition and a homeland. Their major problem is that they have oil, so they are under the control of bigger countries. Turkey is trying to wipe them out.

    Wherever you look, Islam is trying to rewrite history. Look no further than the White House. Some of the staff are Muslims. They are in decision making positions. If they say “Look the other way,” the president will. I am not saying Obama is a Muslim, protecting his own, but I am saying that he is sympathetic to them and won’t look at alternate views of the same situation.

      I have no doubt that Obama is a Muslim. His father is a Muslim, he was raised by his stepfather, also a Muslim and he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia where you can’t attend that school unless you are a Muslim.
      So if you think he might not be a Muslim, when do you think he converted to Christianity or became an atheist?

        Yes, but after his stint in Indonesia he attended, for 20 years, Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ where Jeremiah Wright relentlessly preached anti-americanism like, for example, saying that America was to blame for 9/11. Obama only realized that Wright’s sermons “sharply conflict[ed]” with his own views when ABC News brought them to the spotlight in 2008.

        So clearly, there’ nothing wrong with Obama’s religion (leftism).

          ”So clearly, there’ nothing wrong with Obama’s religion (leftism).”

          I don’t dispute obama is a leftist, but I think his religion is obama. He’s even more of a malignant narcissist than most politicians.

        • Peggy says

          Oct 11, 2015 at 4:28 am

          The question of when he left Islam still remains. The fact that he couldn’t attend an Islamic school in Indonesia if he wasn’t a Muslim proves he was a Muslim then.
          So when did he leave Islam? Did he ever leave Islam? We all know that Muslims are allowed to lie and act in a way that would deceive us so attending a church doesn’t mean anything.
          Did he ever get Christened in that church?

    As I’ve said before: “If you want to know what it would be like to live in a Caliphate, ask an Armenian.” Fundamentalist Islam has loudly declared war on not only the West, but the world as well. The West’s Leadership, however, doesn’t seem to be listening. It’s time to wake them up. Who among them is the next Sir Winston? “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries. Besides the fanatical frenzy which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is a fateful fatalistic apathy.” -Sir Winston Churchill
