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

Belgium: New Muslim political party supports Turkey’s Erdogan and Turkish ambitions

Feb 17, 2018 8:27 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A newly formed political party in Belgium has expressed its support for Turkey’s counter-terrorism operations against the PKK as well as the fight against the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), a group behind the 2016 defeated coup in Turkey.

This shameless anti-democratic deceiver, Dyab Abou Jahjah, is an overt supporter of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose political views should have no place in the Belgian political scene. Jahjah’s party Be.One is nothing more than an affiliate of Erdogan’s AKP Party operating in Belgium. Belgium is bad off enough: it is already a “breeding ground for international terrorists.” Erdogan has tried hard to interfere in Europe in his quest to revive the Ottoman Empire.

The words “Turkey” and “counter-terrorism” do not go together, despite Jahjah’s attempt to pair them. Erdogan has transformed Turkey is a jihad terrorist country itself. It has declared jihad on the Kurds, and has dispatched soldiers to “decimate” them. Some sobering facts about Erdogan’s Turkey:

  • Right before thousands of soldiers were dispatched to fight the Kurds in late January, 90,000 mosques prayed Qur’anic “conquest” prayers calling on Muslims to be “ruthless against unbelievers.”
  • Christian persecution has dramatically increased in Turkey under Erdogan’s hardline rule. Erdogan has even brought changes to school curricula: “Islamic law class and basic fundamental religion lectures will include lessons on jihad.”
  • Erdogan has also declared that the European headscarf ban started a battle between the Cross and the Crescent. He continues to deny the Armenian genocide; has supported the Islamic State and the Muslim Brotherhood; and has long been on a global campaign to compel Western nations to criminalize “Islamophobia.”

“Dyab Abou Jahjah, a Lebanese activist and writer, said that instead of developing its relations with Turkey, Europe displayed an opposite stance…. We, as Belgians, expected our government to openly condemn the July 15 [2016] coup attempt and to support the democratic institutions.”

The fact that this deceiver can openly spew such balderdash in the name of democracy demonstrates just how far Belgium has sunk. Dyab Abou Jahjah is not a Belgian at heart. He is a hardcore ally to Erdogan and is aligned with the latter’s mission of restoring the caliphate. Erdogan even recently threatened US forces in Syria with an “Ottoman slap.”.

Jahjah, who is the founder of the European Arab League, is also aggressively pushing the “Islamophobia” canard, in line with Erdogan’s efforts to compel Western nations to curtail the freedom of speech and criminalize “Islamophobia.”

Belgium is in danger — as is the West in general — when an openly anti-Western Muslim party has progressed this far.

“Belgium’s new party supports Turkey’s anti-terror fight”, by  Yusuf Hatip, Anadolu Agency,  February 16, 2018:

BRUSSELS

A newly formed political party in Belgium has expressed its support for Turkey’s counter-terrorism operations against the PKK as well as the fight against the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), a group behind the 2016 defeated coup in Turkey.

The co-founders of the “Be.One” party, Meryem Kacar and Dyab Abou Jahjah, voiced their support for Ankara in an interview with Anadolu Agency in Brussels on Friday.

Dyab Abou Jahjah, a Lebanese activist and writer, said that instead of developing its relations with Turkey, Europe displayed an opposite stance.

“We, as Belgians, expected our government to openly condemn the July 15 [2016] coup attempt and to support the democratic institutions,” he said.

Jahjah pointed out that Europe was ambiguous in its attitude toward the coup attempt.

“Europe condemned the coup attempt softly but sympathized with the supporters of the coup attempt,” he said.

Islamophobia in Belgium

Jahjah noted he believed that Islamophobia was a kind of racism, and no political party was willing to tackle this problem.

“When we listen to the people in power, we see that they do not fight against Islamophobia but feed it,” he said.

Jahjah also said the Muslim citizens of Belgium contributed to the society at all levels.

“On the paper, everyone is equal but in practice it is different. The main reason for the creation of terrorism is inequality against citizens.”

‘More than half of the voters in Brussels are of foreign origin’

Meryem Kacar, a former senator of the Green Party, also stressed that sympathy was shown for the terrorist organizations the PKK and FETO in Belgium and the Brussels administration should not have a “two-sided” approach.

Kacar said the main reason for establishing a new political party was that the classical political parties in the country no longer represented the Belgian citizens of foreign origin.

“It is very important that we do politics by preserving our religion, language, and culture, and integrate into society,” she said, adding that the main aim of the party was to end the inequalities against people of foreign origin.

“The rhetoric of the extremist right-wing parties about Muslims is worrying. This must be ended,” she said.

“In this regard, Belgium has failed this segment [of the society]. We have to put an end to this discrimination. More than half of the electors in Brussels are not of Belgian origin. We want to appraise this potential.”

A lawyer, political activist, and writer, Jahjah is the founder of the European Arab League (AEL).

He was a columnist for Belgium’s leading newspapers De Standaard between 2014 and 2017, and ranks fourth in the Knack magazine’s list of the most influential foreign figures in Belgium.

However, Kacar is a lawyer and was also a senator in Belgium between 1999 and 2003. She has also served as a member of the international advisory board of the Presidency of Foreign Turks and Relatives Communities (YTB), a Turkish state institute.

Local and general elections in Belgium are expected to be held in 2019…..

    yes, anyone with good conscience should support courageous Erdorgan to protect Muslim Turkey against sinister designs by evil united states and fascist evil zionist state of Israel. The new party deserves our commendation.

      Your statement is just an unsupported ideological opinion free of any facts, although it’s better written than those from typical moronic jihadi minds, which isn’t saying much. Your laziness and stupidity still slipped out as evident in your erratic capitalization. Glad to see you capitalized Israel though, now just try it with the United States (the host you currently parasite on, perhaps?).

    Turkey is now being pumped up on the testosterone of GENOCIDAL IDEATION, both against the “takfir’ed” Kurds (actually fellow Muslims) and against the DIRTY WESTERN KUFAAR.

    Belgium has a growing REVOLUTION within its borders… a bigoted group totalitarians motivated by HATRED towards everything that is Belgian… except for welfare handouts.

    If Belgian intelligence agencies do not create protocols to DEPROGRAM MUSLIMS RIGHT OUT OF ISLAM, they will have MOST of the blame… due to the sin of inaction… postponing what is inevitable…THE SHOWDOWN WITH PREDATORY, TOTALITARIAN ISLAM.

    It’s the IDEOLOGY, BELGIANS. Fight the IDEOLOGY in order to WIN… not to break even.

      Mortimer –

      It is not the responsibility of intelligence agencies to ‘develop protocols’ for ‘deprogramming Muslims out of Islam’. The responsibility of intelligence agencies is to identify and track jihadis, and to foil plots. They are not inactive, so can hardly be blamed for ‘the sin of inaction’, least of all in relation to something that isn’t their job in the first place. Please try to get your head around this

    “More than half of the electors in Brussels are not of Belgian origin.”

    This ominously shows the problem to come.

    “… their systematic criminalization of free speech;
    their suppression of inquiry and creativity; and
    their unending intertribal fights –
    are the reason their people have remained in the seventh century.”

    Brussels has alway been a leftwing shithole. It’s is the capital of EUSSR, All the Eurocats,Euroabians, globalists pedophile bankers are there. As for these Lebanese scum, go back to turkey or Lebanon. Well he won’t go back to Lebanon he will probably get killed by Hezbollah as there is a tussle between Shias and Sunnis. As for Turks in Europe, they are a threat. Maybe the Kurds in Europe need to be armed to deal with this Turkic Arabic Islamic SCUM, because the so called far right have become conservative chuckholds in Western Europe, except in Easter Europe, Italy and Greece.

    Sadly it appears that the Islamist are already inside of the gates of Vienna. I have seen no evidence that the Trump administration is taking Erdogan’s provocations seriously.

        The sickening evil barbarism of Islam will never prevail over the civilised West. Even a foolish savage like you should see that Christianity represents all that is good and Islam all that is evil.

        Allah is not God. Allah was the imagined moon god of the pagan Arabs that Mohammed stole to be the deity of his invented religion. Mohammed, if he ever existed at all, is described in your own Islamic literature as a murderer, plunderer, racist, slaver, misogynist, rapist, deceiver, torturer and paedophile. He invented Islam for his own enrichment and political power. He had the typical personality profile of a narcissistic psychopath. The inevitable results of the high regard Muslims hold for him are hatred of non-Muslims, terrorism, the supremacist psyche and spiritual death. Mohammed was a false prophet and his “fruits” have been bespoiling our world to this day. The power of the internet will stop this Islamic destruction by destroying the reputation of Mohammed and with it his vile cult of Islam.
