Fighting jihad terror? No, that’s not on Erdogan’s list. Not as he oversees the re-Islamization of Turkey and the dismantling of Kemalist secularism.
“Turkey to fight Islamophobia, xenophobia, Erdogan vows,” World Bulletin, January 9, 2017:
Turkish president has pledged to fight against Islamophobia and xenophobia, which he said “turned out to be a serious security threat for our citizens living abroad”.
“Islamophobia and xenophobia will be high on the agenda of our state,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the ambassadors attending the 9th Ambassadors Conference in capital Ankara on Monday.
Erdogan called on Turkish ambassadors from all around the world to carry out “a fight of law, public relations, and civil society” against those circles, which he said “encourage violence, terror, and hatred against our country and citizens”.
“We should fight together with other Muslim communities and migrants who are faced with the same problem,” he said.
Turkish president said some Western politicians who “are unable to solve” economic and financial issues “cling onto this abuse [Islamophobia] as if it were a life ring”.
“And based on that, we are witnessing a rise in attacks against Muslims’ places of worship, businesses, and institutions.
“This is playing with fire. Our concerns over the safety of Muslim minorities has risen because of the increasing racism in the West.”
About Turkey’s ongoing fight against the terrorist organizations, which he named as ISIL, DHKP-C, and Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), Erdogan said their aim “is to push our country into a fight of beliefs and ethnicities.”
Erdogan was also critical of the U.S.-led coalition forces, which he said failed to provide support to Turkey’s fight against ISIL….

Veka Fitzfrancis says
Erdogan sees reviving the Ottoman Empire as his ticket to power. We.should kick Turkey out of NATO and EU should flat out refuse Turkey admission.

Concur.
Westman says
What mendacity! He just crushed a secular movement that was in line with Ataturk’s secular reforms. When he talks about “islamophobia”, just substitute “secularism” or, “building a Caliphate” , to get the correct intentions.
In NATO? This is like having a tiger on a leash for protection – it might take a bite out of Russia, and it could take a bite out of the West. Shooting down a Russian jet could have been intentionaly designed to drag NATO into a conflict. It’s a bad idea to be a bodyguard for a schemer.
Ron Pass says
You are right Westman and it appears that he is doing it in front of a painting of Ataturk! What hypocrisy!

muslim turks should stop deceiving themselves to be allies of christian west. these filthy and evil people should not be trusted by muslim world.their intention is to weakene muslims economically.materialism alone they worship.they take their mithraist religion of claping and dancing for the devil as a matter of fun.they said turks must be mithraist christians before they are accpted as fully europeans.is there any thing special for being part of europe?.to hell with it.china and japan are not part of europe,yet they excell.turkey can do the same maintaining her islamic identity.
senor doeboy says
ibrahim itace muhammed, “Japan and China not par of Europe, yet they excell.”
They are also aren’t members of Dar-al-Islam, but part of Dar-al-Harb. In fact that seems to be the case in a lot of the places that “excel”.

Well, that’s ridiculous. When have Muslims *ever* really regarded civilized Infidels as allies? The texts of Islam itself tell them not to.

……………………………………..
Talk about projection! How is free trade “weakene” Muslims? I suppose by this muhammed means that they have not conquered and enslaved us–which is the way they believe things should work.
Turkey is only as comparatively wealthy as it is because Kealism suppressed aspects of Islam for so long. This is being reversed under Erdogan.

……………………………………..
Where to start? muhammed contradicts himself by first saying that we “worship” materialism, then drags out his absurd claptrap about Christianity being “mithraist”. He then castigates Christians for having a sense of joy and for failing to slaughter anyone having any sort of fun.

they (sic) said turks (sic) must be mithraist (sic) christians (sic) before they are accpted (sic) as fully europeans (sic).
……………………………………..
No one said any part of this ever. Europe has not hesitated to award EU membership to Turkey because they are not “mithraist”, nor because they are not Christian, but because they have an appalling human rights record and because Turks and other Muslims are waging violent Jihad in Europe, and using Turkey as a conduit even now to reach us.

……………………………………..
Well, yes–but both of these nations, as senor doeboy notes, are part of Dar-al-Harb–they are not Muslim countries. Despite their political differences, they are both highly productive nations. There is nothing like this in the Muslim world–and this is no coincidence.
More:
turkey (sic) can do the same maintaining her islamic (sic) identity.
……………………………………..
Well, you can try–no one has ever tried to stop you. Have at it.
But given Islam’s rejection of reason and innovation and despising productive labor as being fit only for slaves, it is unlikely that they will make much headway. In fact, even factoring in unearned oil wealth, Dar-al-Islam is the least productive part of the planet.

Thank you, efoc! I always look for your posts, as well. Hope you are well.
Ze says
Without Europe and its values that Ataturk fought to adopt, Turkey would have long joined the likes of Afghanistan, but don’t worry, with Erdogan’s plans underway, Turkey Will get to that point shortly. What do Muslim contribute to Europe? We kicked you out centuries ago for good reason. Please leave.
Angemon says
The best way to do so is, of course, bring all of them to Turkey.
Ren says
Let Erdogan fight “Islamophobia and xenophobia”. We will keep being islamophobe.
Sam says
An evil sob with millions of stupid followers. That makes him a very dangerous man for infidels and muslims also. We must get nuclear weapons out of Turkey and put them in Israel.
The Istanbulite says
I live in Turkey. The lira is now 4 to the euro. This is because America uses ISIS and the PKK and FETO to keep Turkey down. Kurds are bad, so are Alevis. Jews and Christians are scum and being called a foreigner is a dirty word – like Armenian or Georgian. So please by all means fight against those xenophobes with crap economies.
gravenimage says
What exactly are you claiming here? Is this to be taken literally, or as sarcasm?

Turkey’s Erdogan: Fighting “Islamophobia and xenophobia will be high on the agenda of our state”
…………………….
More attempts at “Islamoforming” of civilized Infidel societies.
EYESOPEN says
“And based on that, we are witnessing a rise in attacks against Muslims’ places of worship, businesses, and institutions.”
And what about the rise of attacks against Christians’ places of worship, businesses and institutions – not to mention the Christians themselves – throughout the izlamic (sic – on purpose) world? Not worried about that so much I guess.
mortimer says
It’s the height of hypocrisy for Erdogan to deplore ‘XENOPHOBIA’ when his undisguised HATRED OF KURDISH PEOPLE is well-known throughout Turkey.
May God save the Turkish people and Kurds from this little Hitler.
If Erdogan gets any more power, he will begin a real genocide against the Kurdish people.
gravenimage says
And not just the Kurds, but the remnant of non-Muslims surviving there, as well as any stray secularists.
Peter says
Meanwhile, the aspiring Ottoman sultan will ramp up Infidelphobia, anti-Muslim hatred, and Muslim supremacy in accord with Islamic orthodoxy.

What claptrap. The backbone of Western economies is high production, innovation, and free trade. Westerners are not stealing from Muslims or the rest of the third world.
In fact, there would be no market for oil if not for the innovations and inventiveness of the West.
And yes–I would be surprised to see Muslims excelling at anything except raping children and slaughtering Infidels. Even unearned oil wealth has done little for them, given their appalling habits.
And then muhammed cannot make up his mind whether the West is wealthy or in “abject poverty”. But then, who would expect consistency from a Mohammedan?

What is muhammed babbling about? No one can develop another nation–nor is anyone responsible for this. Nations develop *themselves*. We have, in fact, seen quite a number of nations lift themselves out of poverty over the past half century or so–Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Chile, and others. Thailand and India appear to be on their way.
And where did muhammed get the idea that I assassinated a writer? Does he think I am some sort of violent Mohammedan? I’m not. Civilized people do not act like this.
It is suspected that the assassination was ordered by the president of Guyana. I have to disappoint muhammed by telling him that I am not the former president of a banana republic in Africa. Where did he get the idea that I was?

muhammed is just losing it at this point.
As I have noted previously, if Muslims are not conquering and oppressing Infidels, they appear to believe that they are being exploited. There is no concept of equality in Islam.
And what–does he suppose there is some big warehouse full of “stolen wealths” taken from Dar-al-Islam somewhere outside of Burbank? What, exactly, does muhammed have in mind?
All he knows is that if he isn’t stinking rich and holding a large harem of blonde sex slaves, that it has to be the fault of the “filthy Infidels”.
This would be funny if it were not so sad…

Dammit, Graven, I wanted to reply to this wackadoodle, but you hit every nail on the head so hard I am unable to come up with anything to equal it.

Yet another thing that leftists and islamists (dedicated unholy ko ‘ran followers) have in common, if you disagree, you must have a “phobia” of some kind. Yet Er-Dog-Again and his crew are suffering from hammophobia, an irrational fear of ham, pork, sausage, bacon, and bacon bits.

…………………………………..
Well, muhammed has threatened the economic collapse of the West many times. His most frequent claim is that if mooching Muslims on the dole leave Dar-al-Harb, that it will ruin us. Then, he has claimed that if the US moves its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, that Muslim countries will stop trading with us, and that this will bankrupt us–never mind that I have repeatedly pointed out that the entire GDP of the Muslim world is so small that it would make little difference to us even if this fanciful threat came to pass.

I’ve asked before what muhammed is envisioning here–a warehouse full of opium, dates, and bootleg Ali Shaheed Muhammad CDs? Commerce does not work like this, and free trade is not “stealing”. No wonder Dar-al-Islam is so backward, if this is what the economists of the Muslim world sound like…
More:
those (sic) lies that it is as a result of your special talen (sic) is a myth.
…………………………………..
Of course, I never said the West has a “special talen”–just the opposite. Capitalism and free trade has generally been practiced in its most nearly pure form in the West, but can be adopted by anyone–hence my noting the improvement in the economies of Japan, China, and other non-Western nations. Japan, in fact, has used these techniques so assiduously that they have given the US a run for its money–particularly in the 1980s. Japan went from a third-world nation to having at this point one of the most robust economies in the world.
The Muslim world could adopt such techniques–no one is stopping them but themselves. Anyone who embraces Islam, despises productive labor, innovation, and education, and who believes that wealth is something to be seized rather than created is not apt to do very well.
No one would be happier than myself if Muslims stopped exploiting Infidels and living on the dole than myself–if they want to join the civilized world, I would welcome them.

And muhammed shows here why this is not going to happen. Really, one has to feel sorry for those so mentally and morally blighted by Islam. muhammed reminds me of this pious Mohammedan:

Fighting Islamophobia in a majority Muslim country? If they are already sending people who disagree or even insult him to jail how will he act against islamophobia getting them a death sentence? Turkey should be expelled from NATO and if Turkey is allowed to enter into EU then one good thing will happen: its death will be near than expected since I don’t think that some Eastern Europeans country would want Turkey there also many countries want to leave EU it would just speed up the proccess.
