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

Turkey’s Erdogan slams France’s Macron for using words “Islam” and “terrorism” together

Dec 11, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Islamic supremacists routinely try to force Westerners into believing that violence has nothing to do with Islam, even though the 1400-year connection between the two is as plain as the nose on anyone’s face, and plainly stated doctrines in the Quran and Hadith to back up the connection. It is also well known that not all Muslims believe in violent jihad, but enough do to warrant concern and give the leaders of Western countries the responsibility to protect their citizens from jihad terror.

Most Westerners know about violent jihad as it pertains to expanding the House of Islam, although some prefer to fool themselves, or otherwise pretend not to know about this so as to avoid being called “Islamophobic.” It’s a dangerous game of identity politics and manipulation that has gone on far too long, to the detriment of the West.

In an absurd news report, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “slammed his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron for using the expression of ‘Islamic terrorism.'” Violence has always been instrumental in expanding Islamic domains; this is evident in Islamic history as well as in the global treatment of persecuted Christians and minorities today.

“I told him that the meaning of Islam is peace. How can you combine the words, peace and terror, by using the expression of Islamic terrorism?” remarked the Turkish leader.

Erdogan’s claim is particularly absurd coming from a country which has been known to support the Islamic State.

“Erdogan slams Macron for using Islam and terrorism together,” Xinhua, December 9, 2019:

ISTANBUL, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday slammed his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron for using the expression of “Islamic terrorism” without knowing the true meaning of Islam.

“The head of France talks about Islamic terrorism at the NATO summit,” Erdogan said at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, referring to NATO’s 70th-anniversary summit held in London last week.

“I told him that the meaning of Islam is peace. How can you combine the words, peace and terror, by using the expression of Islamic terrorism?” remarked the Turkish leader.

Speaking about the ongoing Yellow Vests demonstrations in France against increasing living costs, Erdogan called on Macron to solve the issue as soon as possible.

“Why can’t you solve it? Why can’t you stop it?” he asked….

    moslems are forever ‘slamming’ the west for something or other, will the west ever slam back? Or is the west just too forgiving and stupid?

    • SAFI says

      Dec 11, 2019 at 1:41 pm

      I’d say the west is just too masochistic. But yeah… stupid also.
      Western masochists thoroughly enjoy getting verbally (or otherwise) whipped by non-western (especially muslims) like this sanctimonious hypocrite above. The last thing that you’d ever see a western masochist do is take their own culture’s side in an argument with a muslim.

    Has this kleptotheocrat said anything new or original in the last decade or two? Hes been proclaiming forever that terrorist killers cant be Muslims b/c Muslims dont do this stuff, they just help the world find the peace of al Lah. I think the latest new information was that hell be Caliph by 2023 and levy jizya on the world, but this actually came from one of his henchmen sometime last year. And does anyone but black Turks and a few intel wonks bother listening?

  3. Naram-Sin says

    Dec 11, 2019 at 1:02 pm

    I agree with Erdogan because it’s bad grammar to use them together. This is because the words “Islam” and “terrorism” are synonymous. It’s like saying the same word twice in a row for no reason.

    • SAFI says

      Dec 11, 2019 at 1:43 pm

      But then he also said that Islam means peace which is a shameless lie, especially coming from that guy…

    • Westman says

      Dec 11, 2019 at 3:59 pm

      And Islam does not translate to peace, it translates to submission which is its primary directive to subdue all lands and people under Islam(Sharia). Maybe Macron is catching on that this directive is not for some future end-time; rather is ongoing preparation for the end-time.

      • Eur says

        Dec 12, 2019 at 3:14 am

        Submission and peace is exactly the same in Islamic ideology. There is only peace when submission comes, they are submissive to Allah and the rest must be submissive to Islam, they don’t demand respect they demand submission.
        theocracy.

      Islam is TERRORISM and Terrorism is ISLAM. …..Am I wrong ? I don’t think so because 1400 years of islam/terrorism proves me right.

    The spiel continues..it goes like this…

    “islamic terrorism committed by muslims has nothing to do with muslims committing terrorism in the name of islam because iSLaM has nothing to do with IslAm”

    Ok :some may say isis represents radical ISLam but that’s completely different to mainstream isLAM and that has absolutely nothing to do with ISLAM …or islam…has it?”

    LOL.
    How about a different term like “muslim murderous outrage”?

    “A rose by any other name…”
    Res ipsa loquitur – the matter speaks for itself.
    “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and hangs around other ducks it’s probably…”
    “Me thinks he protesteth too much
    Etc., etc., and etc.

    It’s a matter of definitions…again. What we mean by “peace” and what they mean by “peace” are two entirely different things.
    “I’ll kill you if you won’t admit I’m peaceful”. “OK. You are peaceful”. “Bang. You’re dead. You didn’t say it with enough enthusiasm”.
    Their anodes just don’t talk to their diodes.
    How stupid do they think we are?

      Dec 11, 2019 at 4:15 pm

      In Islam, no one has a right to kill a muslim but a muslim, anyone else is a terrorist, even if the non- muslim was “not” the aggressor. So we can refer to the muslim terrorist as a “special group” or a aggressive special group we say terrorist group. That is why a Islam denies any muslim is a terrorist. A twist of words, backed up by sharia law for them so as to never expose the truth of the matter of the muslim aggressor, which is illegal for them to say, or expose so as to not harm Islam. It does not matter what they think, it matters how and why they act which of course they will deny knowledge even when they expend money to train or buy weapons. That is why ignorance kills if you have open borders….to one who follows their “training manual” of terror from a book of commands unlike the Bible. Clever from the get go, deception by ommission was always important.

    At least one bastian of security in Europe. Mi5 still holding out. See on its website the mention of ISLAMIC Terrorism:

    “Since the emergence of Al Qaida in the 1990s, international terrorism has become largely synonymous with Islamist terrorism. Terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq, including Al Qaida and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), possess both the intention and the capability to direct attacks against the West. The UK is a high-priority target for Islamist extremists and they pose a significant threat to our country and to our interests and citizens abroad.,,,”

    “ISLAMIC TERRORISM CANNOT BE CONDEMNED” – Muslim scholar

    -Egyptian scholar Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, notes the religious roots of Islamist terrorism:

    “If we follow the science of Koranic interpretation, we cannot condemn terrorism in religious terms. It remains completely true to the classical rules in its evolution of sanctity for its own justification. This is where the secret of its theological strength lies.”

    So the conclusion of Erdogan is … JIHAD TERRORISM ISN’T ‘TERRORISM’ when Muslims do it !

    You know that “Islam means peace” by the way in which Erdogan’s Turkey is frantically building up its offensive capabilities, establishing military bases all over the ME and Africa, sponsoring jihadi terrorist groups from Syria to sub-saharan Africa and even east Asia, invading neighboring countries, wanting to acquire nuclear weapons(for peaceful purposes of course) and so on.

      I could say it is not Erdogan, it is that fact that he is controlled by Islam,,,he has to follow it or he is gone…. that was the insanity to take out secular leaders, which allowed the Islamic scholars to take hold. Then it was the majority or if I am wrong he was always following the book.

  15. Walter Sieruk says

    Dec 11, 2019 at 2:46 pm

    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.

    Turkey’s Erdogan slams France’s Macron for using words “Islam” and “terrorism” together
    ………………….

    Erdogan is enraged over a rare instance of Macron telling the truth about Islam. Bad dhimmi!

    • Eur says

      Dec 12, 2019 at 3:31 am

      Erdogan’s intention is to let Macron know that he can burn the streets of France without having to move a finger. Erdogan only has to make an incendiary speech and mobilize the millions of Maghreb Muslims living in France (mainly Algerians and Moroccans).
      It is blackmail.
      Erdogan is a bad person and a tyrant (like all Muslim politicians, he plays half political and half clergy), but he is not stupid.

    The article states, “Islamic supremacists routinely try to force Westerners into believing that violence has nothing to do with Islam, even though the 1400-year connection between the two is as plain as the nose on anyone’s face.”

    In all candor, I feel I need to correct that statement. Many Muslim women’s noses are no longer plain [plainly visible] — they’ve been burned off with acid.

  22. Infidel says

    Dec 11, 2019 at 10:01 pm

    By now, don’t most people even in the West know that ‘Islam’ means ‘submission’, not ‘peace’? I thought that that meme would be dead by now

    Ah, the irony.

    Erdogan is himself an islamic “terörist”.

    He was long time head of “Milli GörĂĽs”, an radical islamic organisation still deemed a terrorist group in numerous countries – even including Merkels Germany!

    It was from this organisation that Erdogan’s
    AKP – Ak Partisi – spawned and took over laicist Turkey.

    Think “Terrorist Disguised in Suit and Tie”.

    I’m sure Erdogan didn’t mean what he said, Emmanuel, so kiss and make up. As for your questions, Erdogan, the reason Macron can’t stop Yellow Vest riots is because France is (still) a democracy whereas Turkey is all but a tyrannical theocracy. Moreover, for every Euro Turkey spends in funding mosques (Islamic terrorism) in France, the latter needs to borrow 100 times that amount to counteract it (but doesn’t).
