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

Turkey: Mufti claims TV station insulted Muhammad, issues veiled threat with mention of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre

Jan 1, 2019 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

This man is a Muslim cleric. He knows that Islam teaches that blasphemers must be put to death. The denial in the West about this obvious fact is pandemic, and no one will take any particular notice of this, even though Ahmet Altıok is a cleric in “moderate,” “secular” Turkey.

“Turkish mufti threatens opposition news site reminding Charlie Hebdo attack,” Ahval News, December 31, 2018 (thanks to M.):

A Turkish mufti threatened opposition news site OdaTV as reminding 2015’s Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, news site Duvar reported late Sunday.

Ahmet Altıok, Mufti of the southeastern city of Siirt, said OdaTV insulted Mohammed the Prophet, the founder of the Islam. Mufti is an Islamic scholar who interprets and expounds Islamic law and qualified to give authoritative legal opinions known as fatwas.

“Charlie Hebdo teased (our prophet) through campaigns and perception operations, but they could not get away with it,” Altıok said, adding that OdaTV has been doing the same thing.

OdaTV,  founded in 2007, has been critical of the government from the beginning. In 2011, in the course of the Ergenekon investigations, OdaTV editors and workers were arrested. Several criminal complaints were filed against the news site.

“If anyone gets hurt in OdaTV, the responsibility belongs to the authorities who encourage it, watches it in silence and back it!” OdaTV news director Barış Terkoğlu said on Twitter.

“Are you going to remain silent against a paid official of the government calling for a massacre? Are you going to watch the massacre calls of gangs tasked by the mufti?” OdaTV chief editor Barış Pehlivan asked on Twitter. He said the gangs massacred people in the past, are called on duty with the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ citing….

    Considering the long list of horrific crimes attributed to ‘the prophet’ it is a stretch of the imagination that anything said against him could be considered insulting.

    Democracy is IMPOSSIBLE under Sharia law, because there can only be ONE CORRECT INTERPRETATION … the others are HERETICS and should be punished and silenced.

    Muslims believe their own sect is correct and has the right and duty to crush the other Muslim sects.

    This mullah passed a death sentence and now the terrorists will hunt down and murder those he condemned.

    That’s Islam everyone. Things are going to get a lot worse in Western countries before people wake up.

    Turkey: Mufti claims TV station insulted Muhammad, issues veiled threat with mention of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
    …………………….

    Will Turkish authorities do anything about this cal for mass murder? Don’t count on it.

    Also note: the conflation of criticizing Muslim authorities–in this case, Turkish ones–with “insulting Muhammad”.

    But why not? There has never been a separation of “church” and state in Islam, and political authorities in Islamic states have always claimed divine sanction. Hence, anyone with any complaints about the powers that be is a “blasphemer”.

They are warlords, corruption specialist, smugglers of drugs, weapon,arms, electronic gadget, gold, illegal currency makers, land lobbies, oil dollar filthy rich, Darwin’s monkeys like ayatollahs, human trafficking specialist, terrorism experts, Bollywood masala movie makers, hawala money laundering specialists, love jihad warriors etc
