Erdogan: Islamic State has “nothing to do with Islam”

Feb 2, 2016 6:40 pm By Robert Spencer

“Islam never allows terrorism; this is one. Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is a terror organization and it has nothing to do with Islam.”

This from a man whom the Russians accuse of supporting the Islamic State. The Pentagon has rejected those allegations, but without dealing with the Russian evidence.

Erdogan

“Daesh has nothing to do with Islam: Turkish President Erdogan,” The Siasat Daily, February 2, 2016:

Santiago, Chile: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking in Chile said that the Daesh group, has “nothing to do with Islam,” aAccording to Anadolu Agency.

“Islam never allows terrorism; this is one. Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is a terror organization and it has nothing to do with Islam,” the Turkish President said.

As Erdogan said during an address to the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean in Santiago, Chile.

Associating Islam to terrorism means giving support and courage to terrorist organizations.

“On the contrary, Daesh is harming Islam with what it does,” and described it as a “disgrace [in] the history of humanity,” as saying.

    Why is the Turkish military not attacking ISIS?

    Why is Turkey allowing ISIS fighters to cross it borders and other to cross its borders to join ISIS?

    Why is Turkey treating injured ISIS fighters in Turkish hospitals?

      Why is Turkey fighting the Kurds who are the only effective Muslim resistance to ISIS?

      • mortimer says

        Feb 2, 2016 at 7:55 pm

        Why is Turkey buying oil from ISIS and supporting its ability to buy armaments if Turkey is not in cahoots?
        Why did Turkey allow ISIS-bound fighters to travel in and out of the region through Turkey without arresting them?
        Why did the Turkish army not fight ISIS?
        There are too many facts that contradict Erdogan’s claims. Erdogan’s claims are mere smokescreen’s for his support for ISIS.

      Why is Erdogan’s son running the oil truck pipeline for ISIS?

      Because Erdogan is a liar, as Islam permits, since its foundation is lies and deception. The unfortunate thing is the rest of the world and their leaders know very well the lies of Islam and Moslems, but have not the courage to refute them.

      I’ve seen pictures alleged to be IS scum in Israeli hospitals. Wht is not Israel waging war against the scourge?
      Regardless, Erdogan speaks utter lies in Chile assuming they live too far away from the Mediterranean to have any cultural memory of his antecedents’ mass terror – the death throes of the Ottoman empire. It’s not terrorism if the whole state openly supports genocide?
      Erdogan’s brazen prevarication demonstrates that the Turk has something worse up his sleeve. And NATO at his back. It will make 1974 Cyprus look like a picnic.

        Re Israel treating IS scum, when Brigitte Gabriel many years ago accompanied her injured mother from Lebanon to an Israeli hospital, she found the Israelis treating its injured soldiers and others alongside injured Palestinian enemies. They are extremely civilized and compassionate, but after all the murderous atrocities and rape of ISIS savages I would draw the line. They certainly would not be allowed to go back to continue their savagery.

    Islam never allows terrorism?? Just like Islam doesn’t allow honour killings. Oh of course Islam doesn’t allow degradation of women…. Islam does not allow men to have up to four wives… Islam does not allow for the killing of infidels… Islam does not allow lies… Which is OK according to the Quran … So awesome is just so wonderful! This wonderful peaceful religion of Islam… Which everyone is so politically correct about! I have sounded off enough I think I’m going to go ahead and write in my book.

    Another question–why is he in Chile, addressing a conference on Latin America and The Caribbean? Turkey, last I saw, was straddling Europe and Asia.

    Is Turkey planning to give $$$$ to the governments in Latin America? I doubt that they need “refugees” who are leeches.

      Erdogan is in South America/Caribbean to promote Islam. In the past Gaddafi and others representing Islam have travelled to poor nations handing out money to governments and building mosques in hopes of converting local populations to become Muslims.

    Didn’t false prophet Mohammad say “I have been made victorious through terror?”
    Doesn’t the Quran say (8:12): “[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”

    The president of Turkey is behaving like one. Would he please explain what Islam actually looks like because I’m getting really confused. At the moment I think Islam is just a myth. It doesn’t actually exist and I don’t know what it is. All those people stating the shahada, praying to Mecca five times a day, observing the laws and special days have nothing to do with Islam. Not one thing. Not even one percent, not even 0.0001 percent. NOTHING! I am appalled at the intellectual dishonesty and absurdity of people like this.

    Caliph Al Baghdadi Knows Islam better than Erdogan !

    The professors from the Islamic University of Baghdad do not agree with Erdogan. When interviewed, al-Baghdadi’s former teachers acknowledged his superior Islamic knowledge.

    “If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned al-Baghdadi’s main teacher from the Islamic University, preferring to remain anonymous since the fatwa against ISIS and its chief puts his reputation into jeopardy.
    “The wine sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage, while talking to Khabaristan Times.
    Another professor who had taught al-Baghdadi in BA told Khabaristan Times off the record that the Isis caliph was an ardent student.

    “He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”

    The professors have condemned their student’s excommunication and have stated that the decision does not have the popular support or the backing of any of the renowned Islamic scholars.

    “While you can question whether they are humans or not, there is no doubt that the Isis, including Abu Bakr, are indeed bona fide Muslims,” concluded the ISIS chief’s PhD professor.

    Most Muslims follow the same doctrines as ISIS which are the teachings of Sayyid Qutb whose brother taught Osama bin Laden in Saudi Arabial. Qutbism is a distilled version of Saudi Arabia’s official religion ‘SALAFISM’ The tenets of Qutbism are:
    • A belief that Muslims have deviated from true Islam and must return to “pure Islam” as originally practiced during the time of the Prophet.
    • The path to “pure Islam” is only through a literal and strict interpretation of the Qur’an and Hadith, along with implementation of the Prophet’s commands.
    • Muslims should interpret the original sources individually without being bound to follow the interpretations of Islamic scholars.
    • That any interpretation of the Quran from a historical, contextual perspective is a corruption, and that the majority of Islamic history and the classical jurisprudential tradition is mere sophistry

    Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together.

        Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together.

        That is the ‘truth’ of it. To mention them together is to tarnish the reputation of Islam only because in this context, ‘terror’ is a ‘bad’ thing. It is all in the intent.

        If you are an Imam and you say to the faithful “strike terror in the hearts of the disbelievers’ that is Ok. But, it is not alright to quote him in the context of criticizing Islam–that would be Islamophobic.

        You see, Robert has educated me. I understand “Islam Speak”.

    Obama threatens to back-up US NATO ‘ally’ Turkey against Russia.
    Obama administration is seeking 1.5 billion to take on Russia supposedly in Eastern Europe.

    Turkey does not want Russia as a neighbor in Crimea or Ukraine.
    Turkey had NUKES pointed at Russia even before Cuba followed suit.
    Russia should not trust the “Peace Prize” winner and Islamic panderer Obama.

      Thanks for posting that. Brother Rashid speaks directly to the heart of the problem. It is absurd that our leaders persist in whitewashing Islam, whether through cowardice or corruption.

      There is a tradition where If 25,000 people sign a petition by a given date, it will “require a response” from the Obama administration, according to published rules of the White House’s online “We the People” program. I suggest we start a petition requesting that Obama directly address Br. Rashid’s video.

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan…currently Prime Minister of Turkey…a radical Islamist…He once quipped (Democracy is like a streetcar…You ride it until you arrive at your destination and then you step off).

    This Man has taken every step He can to Islam-anise what was once a hopeful secular Nation…membership in the EU and hopes of being a modern and advanced People…is going to be harmed under Him and His followers…the damage he has done to Turkey is immense and very disturbing.

    More than nine years ago…Michael Rubin wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal which describes some of the damage This Prime Minister of Turkey had done.

    It is a sure bet things have gotten much worse since then.

    Says the president of Turkey.

    A Turkey that predided over the slaughter of the Armenian genocide of 1915. And a Turkey that presided over the Rhom Greek genocide of 1922, when the entire Greek population of Smyrna (Ismir) was slaughtered or exiled in one of the most heinous genocides in human history. (Smyrna was a Greek city up until 1922.)

    How do you know a Muslim is lying? His mouth is moving.

    Let me try to fix this quote to help explain the logic a little better:

    “Islam never allows Islam; this is one. Secondly, Islam and Islam cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is an Islamic organization and it has nothing to do with Islam.”

    See? Much clearer now.

  24. Jan Aage Jeppesen says

    Feb 3, 2016 at 9:21 am

    It is like saying: National Socialism had nothing to do with Holocaust. In Mein Kampf Hitler never advocated extermination of the Jewish people, just that they should be expelled from Germany.

    But not quite because the Quran mandate mass killing of infidels until Islam rule the world.

  25. Marty says

    Taqiyaah. Islamic State Fighters’ Declared Aim is only to Implement Islamism for the present Muslims don’t follow it because they accepted part of Human Rights Philosophy.
