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

Turkish General murdered for revealing Qatari funding of jihad terrorists through Turkey

Aug 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihad terrorism is a global phenomenon because it enjoys funding from at least these two Muslim countries, and probably others as well.

“Turkish brig.-gen. executed for revealing Qatari funding of jihadists,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, August 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry):

The former head of Turkey’s Special Forces Command Intelligence Division (OKK) ordered that one of the organizers of the 2016 coup be assassinated because he reportedly had knowledge of illicit Qatari funding of jihadi groups in the Syrian civil war, a Turkish colonel who worked for the (OKK) testified in a court proceeding, the Nordic Monitor website reported Friday.

“[Brig.-Gen. Semih Terzi] knew how much of the funding delivered [to Turkey] by Qatar for the purpose of purchasing weapons and ammunition for the opposition was actually used for that and how much of it was used by public officials, and how much was embezzled,” Col. Firat Alakus said.

Terzi was reported in 2016 to have been one of the organizers behind the failed coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Alakus said the Qatari case was not the only example of how financial graft unfolded after monetary transfers to Turkey for use in the Syrian civil war, Nordic Monitor reported.

According to the Sweden-based news outlet, Alakus testified at the Ankara 17th High Criminal Court on March 20, 2019….

Terzi “was aware of which public officials were assisting in arms smuggling to Syria and for what purpose,” he said.

“[Terzi’s murder] had to do with a trap devised by Zekai Aksakallı, who did not want such facts to come out into the open,” he added.

Lt.-Gen. Zekai Aksakallı oversaw the OKK at the time of Terzi’s assassination and has now become a Syrian civil war “profiteer,” according to Nordic Monitor.

Alakus said: “[Terzi] was aware of who in the government was involved in an oil-smuggling operation from Syria, how the profits were shared and what activities they were involved in.”

Terzi was also aware of the Turkish government providing medical care in Turkey to armed radical and jihadist groups disguised as moderate Free Syrian Army troops, he said. Allegations of Turkish officials securing bribes in exchange for providing services to the jihadis were raised in the court testimony….

    Mohamed Elhamy (محمد إلهامي), an Egyptian-born jihad fomenter, with north of 170K followers on FB, who resides in Turkey has innumerably stated that jihad, today, is largely financed by Turkey and Qatar, and that jihad will continue till the “religion is for Allah; i.e., only Allah is worshipped,” as per 8:39 Koran (i.e., surat al-anfal which is Arabic for “booty,” verse 39).

    Reading this article made me ponder a theoretical, to wit, what would Ataturk (Mustafa Kemal) do to Erdogan if the former were still in charge of Turkey and the latter was not and Ataturk knew what Erdogan’s “priorities” are?

    Reflecting upon this theoretical brought a smile to my face. Understand, Ataturk was no freedom-loving individual, not even close (and his “attitude” to Armenians remains Beyond the Pale), and I cherish freedom (which almost does not exist outside of the West and even is in great jeopardy in much of the West today because of Leftism, Islam and overall ignorance), but he did know how Islam, in sundry ways, had retarded his fellow Turks and he hated Islam for this. Here Ataturk deserves credit. By contrast, Erdogan deserves none.

      Ataturk’s constitution actually required that if Turkey’s leader became too dictatorial, the military must remove him. The failed ‘coup’ was therefore a lawful action, not an unlawful coup attempt as it was represented by Ergodan… who has since taken steps to remove this tenet from Turkey’s constitution.

        Did not know that, Reziac, so thanks for that information. And too bad that coup failed.

        Erdogan has also defanged the army with successive purges–especially after the probably faked coup attempt.

      I wonder did this happen in a turkish jail or why wasn’t a general-level man able to protect himself.

        He was murdered by the dogs of Erdog when Gen. Semih Terzi and anti-government soldiers in the Turkish Army attempted a coup on July 15, 2016. On that night anti-government Turkish soldiers were slaughtered by Erdog’s jihadi terrorists on the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, but Gen. Terzi was killed in another place, by another soldier loyal to Erdog, not in a jail. You can look for “Turkish coup attempt, 2016” on Wikipedia.

          Thank you for that information. Erdoğan is like new Hitler.

      I fully agree that they are Jihadist channel and are available free of cost on Tata Sky in India. A free to air to take its jihadi propaganda forward. It gives space to radical Islamic elements like Mehdi Hassan very prominently. As far as India is concerned all their Indian reporters/ connections giving report/interview are out and out rabid anti National elements who can survive only in India where so much of freedom of expression is available.These elements speak all kind of lies to demean Modi Government internationally. In spite of Supreme court of India ruling clearly in favour of Ram Mandir Trust the Channel is telling it’s a disputed site. A section of Muslims including the chief of All India Personal law Board and M.P. of Samajwadi Party are opening saying once a Mosque, always a Mosque (Like they did with Hagia Sofia). Imagine they can so boldly say it in a country which has 80% population and are free and selling the idea that India is Islamophobic. What they have done to those portion of India which they took under two Nation theory. Pakistan I needn’t speak about. They are so brazen that everybody knows. And Even in Bangladesh, the Muslims threw the bones and body pieces of slaughtered cattle (Cow is revered by Hindus). If under such circumstances, these Jihadis and other anti- Modi forces ,are given prominence by Al Jazeera , it’s very unfortunate.

    Erdogan is modeling his regime after that of Hitler’s Germany. Erdogan’s view of the world is an islamic dictatorship lead by him. What a wonderful vision of WORK CAMPS, SLAVERY, RAPE, and MURDER the world will live in under his rule.

    Erdogan is a little man with a dangerous plan and needs to be shut down.

      History shows that almost all dictator’s like Erdogan eventually come to a sticky end.
      The unfortunate reality is the millions of innocent people who perish during their reign.
      A bullet and a good sniper would do us all a favor in the long run,.. in regard to the new Muslim Hitler.
