Greek Orthodox Istanbulites slam Turkish Presidency’s video depicting Christian minorities in comfort

Aug 2, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The video didn’t show Greek Orthodox Istanbulites’ forced migration out of the city that used to be 98-percent occupied by their ancestors because they were under such political pressure.”

Indeed. And clearly the Erdogan regime is going in the direction opposite that of safeguarding the rights of Christians in Turkey.

“Greek Orthodox Istanbulites slam Turkish Presidency’s video depicting minorities in comfort,” Duvar English, July 31, 2020:

A group of Greek Orthodox Istanbulites who live abroad slammed a video that Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun shared on his Twitter, raging about President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s dedication to preserving the multiple religions and cultures in Turkey.

“Turkey, under the leadership of the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, took unprecedented steps in order to promote the principle of equality and to preserve the cultural and religious diversity of our Nation,” Altun said in a tweet where he shared the video.

Istanbul Greeks Universal Federation noted that the video was misleading in its portrayal of the lives of minorities in Turkey, adding that their decade’s worth efforts to create legislation had been futile.

“The video didn’t show Greek Orthodox Istanbulites’ forced migration out of the city that used to be 98-percent occupied by their ancestors because they were under such political pressure,” the federation said in an official statement.

The federation said that they couldn’t speak of minorities living in comfort unless violations of Greek Orthodox rights between were acknowledged for the years 1923 to 2003, from the foundation of the Turkish Republic until the start of the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) governance.

The federation noted that President Erdoğan had condemned the forced mass migration of the Istanbul Greek Orthodox community multiple times in the past few years….

    The Greek Orthodox Christians had been at the very forefront of Dar El-Harb’s fight against Koranimal expansionism before they fell under the iron heel of Mohammedan rule, given that the Greek Kuffar neutralised quite a few Sahaba (i.e., companions of Mad Mo’, Islam’s pedophile of a founder) in the 629 A.D. Battle of Mu’tah, the 642 A.D. Battle of El-Bahnasa, and the 683 A.D. Battle of Vescera, to say nothing of “Greek Fire” which sent Allah’s junkies to Hell in a great many battles, chief among them being the First Arab Siege of Constantinople.

      “Greek Fire” was also used in the Second Arab Siege of Constantinople.

    Like the leftists the Islamists tout a utopia under their rule when in actuality it’s a living nightmare.

      THIS IS TAQIYYA … JIHAD THROUGH LIES

      The most exasperating element of Islam is its constant PASSIVE AGGRESSION imposed through TAQIYYA.

      DEFINITION OF TAQIYYA :
      In Islam, taqiyya is religiously-sanctioned dissimulation or a legal dispensation whereby a Muslim believer may deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal, ‘forbidden’ or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution or deceive kafirs in order to advance Islamic supremacism. ‘Taqiyya’ may be considered a form of passive-aggressive ‘verbal jihad’ against the kafir disbelievers.

      Sharia law authorizes taqiyya: “And taqiyyah is compulsory. It is not permissible to eliminate it until the ‘Qa’im’(hidden Imam) emerges. Whoever abandons it before his emergence has left the religion of Allah and has opposed Allah, His Messengers and the Imams.” (Risaalah I’tiqadiyyah471 Sarkodah) 2217

      – “Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it … We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream … Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.” – Sami Mukaram, At-Taqiyya fi ‘l-Islam (London: Mu’assisat at-Turath ad-Druzi, 2004)

      – “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – former sheikh Sam Solomon

      (Note: Taqiyya, also called ‘Muda’rat’, is a Sunnite doctrine of deception known to Islamic scholars. Muda’rat is virtually the same as ‘taqiyya’ as used by Shi’ites. It allows Muslims to tell lies if it advances Islamic supremacy.)

      Is “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–saying that the Armenian Genocide is “fake new”? Where did those millions of Christians in Anatolia go? In fact, the tiny remnant of Christians surviving in Turkey are still persecuted today.

      Then note the idea that if you dare point out the truth about Islam oppressing Christians that this is “war”–what he means is that if anyone exposes the horrors of Islam that Muslims have the right to murder them.

      He also wants to shut up critics of Islam in the West.

      God, I hate Islam.

        “Brian Hoff” actually claims to be an American.

    Turkey’s Erdogan is probably the most dangerous man alive. He aggressively interferes in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, etc., seeking to resurrect the horrible days of the Ottoman Empire. He constantly denies the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turks last century, and, to top it all, he has converted the ancient church of Hagia Sofia into a mosque. He is a very dangerous anti-Christian who tells lies about the Christian remnant in Turkey as if they “never had it so good.”.Erdogan is instrumental in bringing hundreds of thousands of immigrants into Europe, thereby causing countless problems and dangers for the continent.. .
