Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday urged all Muslims to visit and protect Jerusalem after violence broke out over metal detectors that Israel installed and later removed from a sensitive holy site in the city.
This is a call to jihad by Erdogan, who further states: “From here I make a call to all Muslims. Anyone who has the opportunity should visit Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque…Come, let’s all protect Jerusalem.” He also threatened that “Israel will suffer most” from the Al-Aqsa dispute.
While spewing hatred and calling for violence against Israel, Erdogan repeats the usual propaganda about Israel oppressing Palestinians, and makes no mention of why the metal detectors were installed in the first place. Israel installed them after three Arab-Israeli jihad gunmen shot and killed two Israeli policemen outside the Temple Mount-Noble Sanctuary complex on July 14th. It was deemed “one of the most serious attacks in the area for years.”
Erdogan has been increasingly showing signs of Islamic supremacist aggression. In April, he declared a clash between “the cross and the crescent” over an EU headscarf ban in the workplace. He has been seizing churches in Turkey and declaring them state property; he declared that “sick Europe” will “pay for humiliating and oppressing” Turks; and despite the chaos as a result of Muslim immigration into Germany, Erdogan openly rebuked Angela Merkel for using the expression “Islamist terrorism” because it “saddened Muslims.”
“Erdogan Urges all Muslims to ‘Visit’ and ‘Protect’ Jerusalem”, Breitbart News, July 24, 2017:
ANKARA (AFP) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday urged all Muslims to visit and protect Jerusalem after violence broke out over metal detectors that Israel installed and later removed from a sensitive holy site in the city.
“From here I make a call to all Muslims. Anyone who has the opportunity should visit Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque,” Erdogan said in Ankara. “Come, let’s all protect Jerusalem.”
He was referring to the site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, which is central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel installed metal detectors at entrances to the site, which also includes the Dome of the Rock, following an attack on July 14 that killed two Israeli police officers.
Palestinians viewed the security measures as Israel asserting further control over the site and deadly clashes erupted during protests.
“They are attempting to take the mosque from Muslim hands on the pretext of fighting terrorism. There is no other explanation,” Erdogan said in a speech to ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) lawmakers in parliament.
He said Israel’s legitimacy rested on the extent of the respect it showed to Palestinians and their rights….

WHAT FURTHER PROOF IS NEEDED THAT TURKEY IS NOT A SECULAR DEMOCRACY AND AS SUCH IS UNFIT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.
Manny says
And Turkey is part of the European Union. In waht way is Turkey even remotely European in culture? It’s not. Kick it out, and isolate this increasingly jihadist country.
andra says
Turkey is not yet part of the EU. Some weeks ago the European Parliament voted on stopping the membership negotioations. But the illegal (not elected by the European citizens) EU commission does not care for what the legal (elected by the European citizens) Parliament decides on.
Adrianne Smyth says
Ex Prime Minister David Cameron was gagging for Turkey to join the EU, many believed this was under pressure from Obama. He made ridiculous speeches about how angry he was that it was not allowed to join.
However, Turkey has been in receipt of much pre-accession funding from the EU in anticipation of its future membership. This is not widely known (though easily checked via documentation ) and the MSM ignores it entirely. The sums run into many millions. No wonder Erdogan can afford to throw his weight about.

I just was in Istanbul airport on a lay over here to the states. It is a police state to say the least. it sucks there. Awful. m

Have the men’s restrooms improved? I went through there in 1974. Every toilet was stopped up and full of crap. Disgusting place back then.
Carolyne says
Have you seen the ones which consist of two raised platforms, one on each side, and a hole between them?
Maybe every Christian and Jew should flood Mecca carrying forged papers, since only Muslims are allowed there. Jerusalem is the most holy city for Christians and Jews. Mecca belongs to Islam. Didn’t Mohammed fly on a horse to heaven from Jerusalem or something like that? Nonsense. Remember Texaco–“The sign of the flying red horse?”
AnneM says
The reality is that Jerusalem is mentioned much more in the Bible than in the Koran.
Dwayne Austin says
Just another windbag Muslim politician grand standing to be the new Caliph of the soon-to-be revived Ottoman Empire!
Logic-logic says
He could be the cause of the civil wars between the Islamists and the Europeans in EU.
Mirit says
Make no mistake. Erdogan has been financing Islamic movement groups in Israel, Muslim Brotherhood groups. This is his investment. He has been cooking this crisis, and now he wants to look like the leader of the Muslim world.
There are many Mosques around the world with security measures. No reason the Mosque in Jerusalem should be different, especially after the deadly attack on July 14th.
andra says
What must happen until the Western governents stop their suicidical politics referring Islam? The muslims are very open when it Comes to telling us what they plan on: killing jews, killing christians, installing Islam all over the world and submiss the world to sharia law. How can any decent person in politics not fight against the submissive western governments? I don´t understand it any more.
David says
This is not the same Turkey that my farther fought with in the Korean War.
Please Lord tell me that we do not have any US nuclear capable weapons in Turkey any more… if we do, they need to be pulled out NOW!
balam says
Turkey should be EXPELLED from NATO alliance .No more European tourists to Turkey .Turkey is showing its true ISLAMIC HATEFUL COLOURS. NO MORE MOSQUES IN THE WEST .If you give the Muslims an inch then they will take a yard .You can never turn them into civilised human beings. Mohammad never taught them the GOLDEN RULE: LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THY SELF. Instead Mohammad taught them :DO NOT MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.Q:5-51
Sam says
Correct!!
And I am originally from Turkey.
Eur says
Turkey is a theocracy,the democracy is a past issue.
I am sorry for the millions of secular and democratic Turks who could perfectly well be European, I am very sorry for them … and for us because the Islamic cancer is expanding … there will be war. .
jack grandville says
The face says it all.
Guy Forester says
Well, I am not surprised. This is going to continue to escalate. Our politicians looked for reasons to get involved in the internal conflicts of the muslim world and our interventions have all failed. What a pack of idiots our leaders are. Islam will fix itself when muslims fix it. Good luck on that issue.
Meanwhile, we need to stop all troop activity, pull out, no more financial anything. Yes the communists from china and Russia will jump right in. That will be a very short lived marriage. Let these guys go back to fighting each other over the reason de jour.
Support Israel. Everyone else can pound sand. Or rocks. Or camel dung. Or whatever they have over there.
Carolyne says
When is “National rape-a-goat week” in Turkey?” Should be coming up soon.
Jaladhi says
Now Erdogan is the new caliph calling all Muslims to war to defend Jerusalem!1
Marcello Luciano says
The guy is desperate for attention and taking charge of world Islamic countries!
somehistory says
He doesn’t want to defend Jerusalem He wants all of anything Jewish, destroyed.
Ezekiel chapters .38 and 39
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
This is typical Mohammadin fare. The immams and other leaders always incite violence by characterizing it as ‘defense.’ If you look for it, you will see it everywhere in their speeches.
Pumbar says
I am reminded of Boris Johnson’s limerick which won the Spectator’s ‘most offensive Erdogan poem’ competition a couple of years ago;
“There was a young fellow from Ankara, Who was a terrific wankerer.
Till he sowed his wild oats, With the help of a goat, But he didn’t even stop to thankera.”
Tom says
“Assimilation is a crime against humanity. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam, Islam is Islam. The mosques are our barracks, The minorets are our bayonets, The cupolas our helmets, and the faithful our soldiers.” Tyyip Erdogan, President of Turkey 2008.
This guy has long been an Islamist promoting violence against non islamic countries while at the same time pretending to be an ally of the west.
Carolyne says
Erdogan continued—“And the goat our wife.”
Manuel 2 Paleologus says
I do not take seriously Erdogan. He is just another muslim. Jerusalem has nothing to do with Islam. And Islam has nothing to do with Jerusalem. The Al Aqsa Mosque was built there by the muslims but Mohammed was never in Jerusalem. It is another islam ‘sh**t’ to control and to have interest in this part of the world.
That mosque should be demolished. Too bad the Crusaders did not demolished and build a Christian cathedral. When will be demolished -it will create another war.
AnneM says
I am surprised that a new war did not start over the recent attacks in the last few weeks.
Jacqueleen says
The loud mouth radical Muslim leader of Turkey should shut up and sit down….Mecca can be demolished easily enough. The Temple Mount does not belong to Islam. It is a holy site for all 3 major religions and should be designated as such. Much like a museum. As for the Muslims/Palestinians in Jerusalem and the rest of Israel. why don’t you pack it up and go back to Jordan where you came from and leave the small country of Israel alone? Israeli leaders should evict every Muslim from Israel and ban their re-entry. Period. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PEACEFUL MUSLIM….THEY ARE AT WAR WITH EVERY NON-MUSLIM AND THAT MY FRIEND, IS US IN THE USA AS WELL AS THE JEWS.
AnneM says
Have you noticed that there has not been any new Muslim based attacks since Donald J. Trump has become President? Could it be they know this new sheriff means business.
