Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a mainstream Islamic leader with a vision of a revived Ottoman Empire. His declaration that “Our God commands us to be violent to the kuffar” is in keeping with normative Islam, as pointed out in the article below. But violence against the kuffar continues to be ignored as an aberration of Islam, thus giving the enemies of the West an advantage in their jihad against the kuffar.
Erdogan says: “Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels). Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed. So [God] also commands us to be merciful to each other. So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.” That statement is based on this Qur’an verse: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.” (Qur’an 48:29)
“Erdogan: ‘Our God commands us to be violent to the kuffar,” by Uzay Bulut, Arutz Sheva, November 15, 2019:
On October 25, a leader of a NATO member nation openly incited violence against non-Muslims.
On that day, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the Friday prayers at the Great Çamlıca Mosque in Istanbul. He was accompanied by Istanbul’s governor Ali Yerlikaya, mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, Istanbul’s chief of police Mustafa Çalışkan and the head of the Istanbul branch of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Bayram Şenocak.
After the prayers, the hafiz of the mosque recited the Koranic Verse Al-Fath, which means “victory, triumph, conquest” in English. Then Erdogan took the microphone, reciting a part of the verse in Arabic and then in Turkish. He told the congregants:
“Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels). Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed. So [God] also commands us to be merciful to each other. So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.”
Erdogan then referred to another Koranic verse, As-Saff-13, in Arabic:
“Inshallah, God has promised us in Syria: ‘Nasrun minallahi ve fethun karib ve beşşiril mu’minin.’ [‘Victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers’]. We see it is happening right now. With the permission of Allah, we will see it even more… I will meet some presidents of foreign countries at the Dolmabahce Palace today. I ask for your permission now to go there.”
The congregants then cheered Erdogan on, shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the greatest)….

Allah commands all Muslims to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels)

With only a few exceptions all major Western leaders perniciously have said so. In the West they have done the most harm so far with their enabling of floods of migrants whose religion wants Western Civilization destroyed & replaced.
laura ann says
Europeans in the invaded countries never learned history or understand Islam. Most the men are cowardly sissies and don’t care if they become slaves or killed. The women don’t seem to concerned about assaults,rapes, etc becasue most are never reported. Nihilism and apathy prevails because Europeans are so dumbed down.
laura ann says
Europeans condone it, and do nothing. They will allow themselves to be destroyed.
Arthur W. Simpson says

mortimer says
Response to pfwag: Yes, Erdogan has summarized the authentic Islamic teaching called AL WALAA WAL BARAA (‘allegiance’ to Muslims and ‘cleansing’ from dirty kufaar).
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
Without a mastery of the teaching of AL WALAA WAL BARAA, you cannot say you ‘know Islam’.
W-B is the most important political teaching of Islam.
pfwag says
One does not need to inanimately “know Islam” to recognize Islam is an asinine, corrupt, vile religion. Al Walaa wal Baraa is just part of it.
somehistory says
Absolutely, about not need to “know islam” to recognize what it is.
One only needs to see the fangs of a poisonous snake to recognize the danger in getting too close; it is not necessary to know all of the facts about the snake, such as its rankings according to how quick its bite will kill, before being able to recognize there is a serious danger.
The same is true for islam. We can all see to what it leads a person who devotes himself to it. We hear what they say they plan to do to us, we see them doing it to others, and how many times they have done it before. This is enough.
Fergus Boone says
No doubt many in America will embrace it. The evils of envy, greed, sloath, drives many. It makes for fertile recruiting ground, that’s why Islam is always recruiting in prisons.

That’s true..
Erdogan’s pagan muslim Arab god al LAH{“the BEST of deceivers”}k3:54 does command his “devout” followers to be violent towards the kuffar.
It seems al LAH ..
1}COMPLETELY MISSED The essential two chief commandments{found in Judaism and Christianity} including
“LOVE God” by obeying the commandments of God and teaching them to your children
{Deuteronomy 6 v 5-9}
“LOVE thy neighbor”{lev 19:18}
You cannot love your infidel neighbor in islam as muslims k3:110 are classed as superior to infidels[“the worst of created beings” k98:6} in islam’s apartheid system.
Also islam has a Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa} towards infidels
2}Teaches his muslims it is ok to violate those EXODUS 20{‘ten’} laws
allah is ok with murder k2:191,stealing k48:20 etc
Dear muslims:isn’t that A BIT ODD?
alalh{“the BEST OF DECEIVERS” K3:54 geddit?} is telling you the OPPOSITE to the official Laws of God revealed in theTorah via Moses and confirmed by Jesus Christ in the Gospel.
oh wait..”the Bible is corrupted”:But if the koran teaches the OPPOSITE to the Bible isn’t it the koran that is corrupted?
allah is the BEST of DECEIVERS
{can you figure it out yet…?isn’t it often the case you muslims prefer NOT to figure it out as you are happy with your al LAH and the evil he permits you to do?}
Terry Gain says
FYI
You make a devastating case that Allah is not God. he more closely resembles the devil.
Dan Adams says
The name allah has been traced backwards in scriptures to the verry beginning and is found to be Lucifer….
No Muzzies Here says
When someone tells you he wants to kill you, and what motivates him to do so, it’s a good idea to listen carefully. Then don’t do anything that promotes that motivation.
Pierre says
What do you mean by ‘then don’t do anything that promotes that motivation?’ Like ‘don’t pray to Jesus Christ, don’t go to church, don’t sing any christian songs?’ Or maybe ‘don’t let your wife wear a bathingsuit or go out on the streets without her head covered?’ Or don’t eat any pork? Or don’t refuse to worship their fals god?
Or just don’t be alive because they will hate you anyway and want to kill you for no other reason than that you exist?
Come on, you can’t be serious. Or you don’t know anything about islam and the motivation of those who are captured by this demonic spirit.
gravenimage says
Yes–no amount of appeasement would ever be enough.
Beverly says
Here’s my questions for the Islamic crowd, 1) If Allah creates everything with perfection, why did he create a bunch of people who need to be killed? 2) In the Quran Allah created man 6 different ways. Don’t you think Allah would know definitively how he did that? 3) Again with if Allah created everything perfectly then why do you mutilate the female body?
4) Why is there no love in the Quran? Is everything to be hated and killed including your own family members? 5) Why are women held in such low esteem?
Mohammed was a violent paranoid Schizophrenic and the voices he heard were in his head. Remember he was illiterate and the first guy that started writing down the transcript began making recommendations on how to say things. He claimed he quit after that because he knew that if he could make changes to the transcript that it wasn’t coming directly from God.
Gary Cooper says
Muslims pratice FGM for selfish reasons,..it is a allha followers contention that if a woman is less sensitive she will be less likly to be arrosed or sexully stimulated ..it is about oppreson and control.
Someone has to,say it says
Islam’s god is not our God – rather their god is the deceiver we all know. Islam’s god can’t create anything, only recreate. The adversary has many names, allah is but one of them. Once you understand this, you’ll realize our political masters either have no clue, or are embracing the devils deluded minions. The mask is slipping when major figures speak the truth. Sad that some apologists try and call this a misunderstanding, but the adversary has many allies in his doomed to failure mission.
ronald says
Allah is the creator of everything on earth. He creates believers and unbelievers, but the believers must kill the unbelievers because of their unbelief. Doesn’t this sound ridiculous? Totally corrupt and crooked religion
Or Else! says
Mainstream Turkish political news should be covered by mainstream news, right? Right? Ha!
Oh yeah…this happened at a mosque…and mosques aren’t political…they’re religious, right? Right? Ha!
Niemoller says
So the national leader (as opposed to merely a radical imam) of Turkey, a supposedly developed nation with deep economic, political and military ties to non-Islamic nations, just declared in the clearest way possible that he has utter contempt for non-Muslims and will seek violence on them when it is convenient for his nation and fellow Islamists.
What more needs to be said? Merkel, Macron, Trump, etc., do you dare pick up the phone to Turkey (or any Islamic state) and discuss economics and immigration in normal terms as though this is not happening?
Infidel says
Memo to President Trump: while these ‘impeachment’ hearings are going on, please quietly add Turkey and a few more countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Qatar, Afghanistan) to the Travel Ban list. Hopefully, the State dept people are too busy at Schitt’s hearings.
As for Merkel and Macron, they’ve already sold their countries down the Danube

It seems that Erdogan is turning Turkey into an actual buffer region, which will be considered unreliable by both Russia and NATO.
The guy is riding the horse that provides his Palace and opulent living. The people won’r realize his delusion until he is wandering down the halls of his Palace, like Citizen Kane, muttering nonsense.
Infidel says
So Erdogan can join a long list of Turkic historical figures – from Mahmoud of Ghazni thru Tamerlane and the Tatars in Russia to the Mughals in India – in leading a Jihadist movement.
I wonder what he thinks though about one thing – that Islam deems Arabs, rather than Turks, as allah’s chosen people? And I’m not even touching the peninsula Arabs or the Quraysh tribe aspect of that.
But yeah, I hope Erdogan can start a battle w/ MbS in Saudi Arabia and Khamenei in Iran on who gets to lead Islam. Actually, Iran now is too weak, w/ the sanctions and their street demonstrations, so it’d be more like Erdogan vs MbS on who’d be the new caliph
gravenimage says
He just wants to revive the last Caliphate, and ignore Arabs mostly hating Turks. Of course, Muslims are so in love with the Caliphate, that they might even welcome another one, even it is against run by Turks.
Infidel says
Not for long, though. Neither the Umayyads nor the Abbasids nor the Fatimids ever lasted, since they always had rival claimants to the leadership of the ummah
gravenimage says
Yes–any Caliphate would spawn murderous rivalries soon enough.
Angemon says
So, the leader of a NATO member endorsing violence against people of other NATO members. Me thinks NATO has some scrubbing – and priority organizing – to do…
Infidel says
NATO needs to go away! The EU is focusing on creating an European army, so let them do it! Or let the individual countries take their defenses more seriously.
The US has enough problems on the Mexico border and in Latin America to have troops spread out in 150 countries, like they were during the Cold War. They need to be brought first home to the Mexico border, and beyond that, let’s renew the Monroe doctrine and look at stabilizing countries that are tottering – from Chile to Guatemala.
And lets walk away from an organization that’s ceased to be relevant for at least 28 years

Turkey should have been expelled from NATO long since.

Turkey should never have been in NATO!
Notice the alignment of Turkey, Russia and Iran; all the pieces are in place for Ezekiel 39 and 39.
Raja says
Muslims have no qualms about Erdogan emphasizing what mainstream says about kuffars or infidels. All of Islmaic world have nothing to say what Islamic state has to say or for that matter what Hezbollah has to say viz a viz Kufars. What these terrorists have to say is NEVER to be questioned by the man-on-the street-Muslim. Any thing in the name of allah or mohamad sells and is sacrosanct . It only shows how much they are bankrupt morally and cannot reason, like the Left.
Erdogan is getting away with ‘murder’ by vilifying those who caution against Islamic conquest and lawlessness as Islamophobia, whereas he is opening scouting for violence and ethnic cleansing if possible. It takes the foolish left to digest this obvious contradiction.
Walter Sieruk says
When Erdogan , who is the President of Turkey declared “Whoever is on the side of Israel ,let everyone know that we are against them.” This then by those words “against them.” Likewise must mean against him of her ,as an individual, who for the State of Israel
This must thus mean that they are also against Him. Who is God for being on the side of the Israel for being for Jewish State of Israel. As it is written in the Bible, “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, the Jewish people have every right to all of that land that in now part of Israel, , including the West Bank and the Golan Heights by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4.
In addition the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
Moreover Erdogan must then also be against President Trump This is because President Trump had wisely said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, and he then acted on his word and he had done so by good decision of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem .This bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the President’s decision is despicable . Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well then it’s “tough beans.” to them
As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.
somehistory says
If any one hearing or reading this has any doubt…even a speck…that this creepy and violent moslim means what he says, and all moslims feel the same way, shouting in agreement, and that he intends to act on his words and is giving the green light to other moslims to act on his words, then the doubter has something wrong in the noggin.
The current pope seems to fit this description. er dog an doesn’t need to tell me twice that he wants me dead and that his ‘god’ is commanding him to kill me. Every person reading his words who doesn’t worship his “god,” is also on his hit list, or that of his moslim brothers. Those in the hood and out.

For people who think that islam, with its genocide, has nothing to do with Islam … In the Quran itself, Allah takes the lead as a genocide perpetrator for non-Muslim peoples as
to destroy the unbelieving people of the Samud who were critical. Sura 26: 141 to 158
drowning the unbelieving people of the Pharaoh. Sura 8:54
drowning the unbelieving people of Noah. Sura 25:37
to destroy the unbelieving people the Thamud. Sura 25. 38
the unbelieving people to destroy the Aad with a hurricane. Sura 51:41
the unbelieving people Lot, who allowed to destroy homophilia. Sura 26: 160/172/173
destroy the unbelieving people of the Forest for expressing criticism. Sura 26: 185 to 189
the unbelieving people to destroy the Medianites with an earthquake. Sura 29:37
to destroy unbelieving nations such as Korah and Hamaan. Sura 29:39
Genocide of the West is the Islamic agenda
OLD GUY says
The only thing that muslims like Erdogan want from their islamic religion is POWER over others including their fellow muslims. They are willing to RAPE, KILL, and use anyone to promote their own personal control over everyone else. Turkey and its current leadership DO NOT belong in NATO. Their interest is not to protect Europe put to take it over by any means along with the rest of the world. Sounds like Hitler’s plans for world domination.
