Erdogan likely knows what an absurd claim this is, but he is apparently calculating that such charges will intimidate Macron and other French authorities to back down from challenging Islamization and Sharia in France, and doing anything significant to stop jihad violence.
“Turkey hits at ‘Crusades’ against Islam in cartoons row with France,” by Tuvan Gumrukcu and Ece Toksabay, Reuters, October 28, 2020:
ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey’s president said on Wednesday that Western countries mocking Islam wanted to “relaunch the Crusades”, heightening a confrontation with France over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad that have stirred anger in Muslim-majority countries.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan addresses members of his ruling AK Party (AKP) during a meeting at the Parliament in Ankara, Turkey, October 28, 2020. Murat Cetinmuhurdar/Presidential Press Office/Handout via REUTERSIn a speech to lawmakers of his AK Party in parliament, President Tayyip Erdogan said that standing against attacks on the Prophet was “an issue of honour for us”, suggesting Ankara may be digging in for a prolonged standoff….
In a sign of spreading anger at France’s defence of the right to publish the cartoons, demonstrators denounced France in street protests in several Muslim-majority countries.
“France down, it insulted our Prophet,” protesters shouted in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
Furthering Turkish anger, Charlie Hebdo published a cartoon on its cover showing Erdogan sitting in a white t-shirt and underpants, holding a canned drink and lifting the skirt of a woman wearing an Islamic hijab to reveal her naked bottom.
Turkish officials said Ankara would take legal and diplomatic steps in response to the caricature, calling it a “disgusting effort” to “spread its cultural racism and hatred”.
The Turkish foreign ministry summoned the charge d’affaires at the French embassy over the magazine cover.
Erdogan said he had not seen the caricature “because I consider it wrong to even look at these immoral publications” and that his anger was over disrespect towards the Prophet rather than the “disgusting attack directed at me”.
The West was “once again headed to a period of barbarity”, he said, describing colonial powers as “murderers” for their record in Africa and the Middle East.
“They literally want to relaunch the Crusades. Since the Crusades, the seeds of evil and hatred have started falling on these (Muslim) lands and that’s when peace was disrupted.”…
In Cairo, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi said freedom of expression should stop if it offended more than 1.5 billion people.
The Grand Imam of Egypt’s al-Azhar university, one of the world’s most eminent seats of Sunni Muslim learning, urged the international community to criminalise “anti-Muslim” actions.
In the Somali capital Mogadishu, hundreds of mostly youthful demonstrators gathered at a busy junction leading to the airport, chanting anti-French slogans and burning French flags. They were responding to calls by clerics to come out and condemn France and boycott French products.
“We are going to use our muscles to defend Islam,” a middle-aged man, Mohamed Ahmed, who was at the demonstration, told Reuters when asked why he was participating. “We ask people to burn every product of France they come across.”
Dozens of Iranians gathered in protest in front of the French embassy in Tehran, state media reported. Some held up placards with red crosses plastered on images of French goods.
In Dhaka, hundreds of Bangladeshi Muslims took to the streets of the capital for a third consecutive day, chanting slogans such as “Boycott French products” and burning effigies of Macron, whom they described as an enemy of Islam.
At a much larger protest on Tuesday in Dhaka, thousands had turned out for a protest carrying banners such as “Stop Islamophobia”, “Boycott France” and “Lay siege to the French Embassy in Dhaka”.

It it is so, it’s all the fault of people like you, Erdogan. You are a disgusting little man.
mortimer says
Erdogan would love to lead the counter-crusade! Erdogan is a vicious pied piper.
janicevanguilder says
I would love to see Erdogan’s face if he encountered an apparition of Charlemagne in full regalia on a fine horse. He might soil himself.
Westman says
Considering today’s earthquake in Turkey and Allah’s administration over everything, it appears that Allah didn’t like Erdogan’s threats and sent him a message.
Being an unbeliever, of course, I know it’s simply the sudden relaxation of forces involved in plate tectonics or fault scarps. As a Muslim that would be a very different story as everything is inshullah, controlled by Allah. In that case perhaps it is advisable to get rid of Erdogan before Allah really gets peeved.
Rufolino says
But “disgusting little men”, (like Hitler), can do a lot of damage.
It appears from this photograph that Erdogan is imitating Hitler’s gestures, though it could be accidental.
It isn’t necessary, his rhetorical rage is already full of destructive Hitlerian references.
But this time round, Islamism is standing in for Nazism..
SJ says
Let’s put this into perspective – as usual, Muslim zealots lynched non-Muslims, and Erdogan says the latter are the ones on a crusade.
mortimer says
Very good, SJ. ‘Lynching’ is what Muslims are doing. They are lynching innocent people off the street since they are ‘Christians’ in order to take RETRIBUTION.

So what`s wrong with that ? A Crusade-2020 is exactly what the west needs to organize right now to save itself but to fit the definition it needs to be sanctified by the Vatican.
Al-Dogee is a liar and an alarmist knowing full well that the Muslim Poop Francis will never give his blessings to such a venture.

SJ says
A good Muslim is not a true Muslim
CogitoErgoSum says
I just wonder why anyone who is good would want to be a Muslim. I see almost nothing good about it.
CogitoErgoSum says
Perhaps there are a few good things about Islam (got to think hard about that one) … like modesty (only thing I can think of right now) … but any thing good about it can be found in other religions. Take away the hatefulness from Islam and there is really no point for it to exist.
mortimer says
Exactly, MZ. Muslims have turned backwards to the barbarism and intolerance of the 7th century.
barbaracvm1 says
They never left the 7th century. The Crusades were to stop the advance of Islam into Christian countries.
Unfortunately to many were left to continue the hatred.
What I have never been able to understand is why any woman would stay or defend Islam..

“relaunch the Crusades”
About time.
And what was the “Crusades”?:
Reclaiming Christian land, occupied by muslim invaders.
So, Yes, it is about time reclaiming Europe, occupied by muslim invaders…
revereridesagain says
Europe needs an American Revolution. Religionists should be firmly barred from imposing their “faith” on others by force, prosecuted and, if applicable, deported if they do so. To believe or not believe in any religious or philosophical system is a basic right and those savages who disagree should be rendered unable to express their outrage in any medium but words, just like the rest of us.
gravenimage says
It is only Muslims who are trying to impose their faith by force.
Andrew says
It truly is classic that people who attack a non muslim, cut off their heads, are blaming the person for losing their heads because muslims were offended… What bloody children they are… However we must remember these are the same savages that blame the woman for causing him to rape her.

I’m hearing people on the street screaming deus volt deus volt !!! … well not really, there are only children on the street dressed as Hallowen and enjoying life. near my city the only terrorists arrested have been some Moroccans who lectured Muslim youths online to kill these children who are in the street enjoying, laughing and playing.
CogitoErgoSum says
There you have the true meaning of Islam – don’t just pretend to be evil spirits, actually BECOME evil spirits.
Eur says
What’s more, I have seen groups of young people, most of them European in appearance but also African, Asian … they all want the same thing, to enjoy life, however Muslims insist on forbidding their children to enjoy parties like Hallowen because it is haram . I do not mean that Muslims must necessarily celebrate Hallowen, it is simply a sign that they are unable to integrate in this very insignificant aspect that transcends the religious. Their children want exactly the same as ours, to be happy and their religious dogmas prevent it. It is something very sad and tremendous. Sure they can be happy in their own way, but living in a secular society, not sharing these types of acts only strengthens their segregation and fosters hatred between communities and in many cases that leads to Islamic supremacism and terrorism because they seek refuge in their community after feel that the rest of society rejects them and that they are not guilty of their failures, but Western society and Islamophobia.
gravenimage says
People, including kids, celebrating Hallowe’en have been violently targeted by Muslims before. I’m sure it will happen again.

“Erdoğan graduated from Kasımpaşa Piyale primary school in 1965, and İmam Hatip school, a religious vocational high school, in 1973. The same educational path was followed by other co-founders of the AKP party.[46] One quarter of the curriculum of İmam Hatip schools involves study of the Qurʼān, the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and the Arabic language. Erdoğan studied the Qurʼān at an İmam Hatip, where his classmates began calling him “hoca” (“Muslim teacher”)”.

I figure, one more Charlie Hebdo cartoon and he will self-detonate and explode in anger, and those poor Turks have to scrap his remain of all the walls of those 1000 rooms of that palace he lives in.

Erdogan wants to launch a jihad against Europe, America, Israel, Greece and against the freedom of speech.

That should be interesting.
Mount Zion says
Egyptian president sayd that freedom of expression should stop if more than 1.5 billion people are offended . What makes the other 5.5 billion have to bow bevore the offended onces , the remaining majority of 5.5 billion people may be offended as well because a minority want’s to take away their freedom of expression . Who is to say which side should get his way . I say it’s the side that stands for freedom of expression nothing less than that should be tolerated , I say it’s the side that already had freedom of expression before mass muslim migration into the west happened. If they don’t like the fact that western constitution grants freedom of expression then deport them to their home countries where they can kill each other over a false prophet abd a silly cartoon.
CogitoErgoSum says
They say we are forcing them to kill us because of the things we do. No, we are not. They don’t have to kill anybody. They are doing it of their own free will. This can not be allowed to go on and we should not have to live in fear of one of them killing one of us at any time. We forgot the lessons we should have learned from our past history but it’s not too late. The only way to stop them is to drive them out of our society. They will never submit to being like us. For them all SUBMISSION must be to Islam. They will not be satisfied with anything less than our submission to their god – or our extermination. It is there for all to see in their sacred book, the Koran. That is the source for the compulsion they have to kill us and the “provocation” we make to them is merely that we do not want to be like them.
Westman says
Apparently the latest world population is 7.8 Billion, leaving 6.3 Billion humans who don’t want Islam. It’s amazing how often Muslims quote their numbers as a point of pride while not comprehending that they are, and will remain, a minority. And too many new “converts” are forced like the all too common, “rape yourself a wife and convert”, in India.
You can’t blame Muslims for being upset that their religion is under the flood lamps. This new communication age, the extensive recording in the Hadith and Sunnah, have combined to short-circuit fabrications about Muhammad’s character, “respect” for Muslim women, and the “peacefulness” of Islam.
And that 1.5 Billion “unified” ummah – where have wars been recently? How many are Muslim-on-Muslim?

Having been in Mogadishu as well as forty plus capitals on the African continent, I can say that if Channel #5 or Acoua di GIO were to be removed from the shelves, the entire staff at the US Embassy (probably others like the British High Commission et al) will have to turn the temperature in the embassy down below the standard 68 degrees. The governments in most African nations do not provide running water for much of the day making it difficult for people to bathe so they use other means to reduce body odor. Things are not much better in many places within the Middle East. Many of these national governments could not care less for the well being of their citizens, yet, they pretend to care about their hurt feelings over the cartoon of a so called prophet that may or may not have actually existed.

Well, if the West does decide to crusade again, I seriously doubt that Erdogan will be anywhere near the opposition front line!
janicevanguilder says
If they are so confident and assured that islam is “right”, then why are they so consistently fragile, brittle, easily offended? Has anyone ever been able to get an attempt at a straight answer out of any “discussion” – assuming a discussion is even possible?
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t really see where there is anything to discuss with Muslims What they have to say is irrelevant if it is not consistent with what Allah says in the Koran. I have read the Koran and I know what it says. Muhammad was the only person who could add to the Koran to change what it said by adding something new and “better” to it. Muhammad is now dead and Allah has spoken. The Koran says what it says and cannot be changed. End of discussion.

Wellington says
Projection yet again from a Buttlim. Nothing new. Actually, getting very old. Wonder of it all is that virtually all non-Muslims don’t grasp this by now.
Well, ignorance and foolishness are two very stalwart allies of evil. Look no further for confirmation of this than all the silly Westerners, whether in academia, the media or the political realm, who keep making excuses for the worst religion of all time.
Oh yeah, one more matter. Turkey remaining in NATO has now reached the level of gigantic farce.

Every time this moslim dictator, fool, idiot, er snake wan looks into a mirror, he sees a barbarian.
Barbarity is the word…the word to describe what moslims are up to every single day. (if days got married, they’d be busy with barbarity on those too.)
Some people must fervently wish that there were armies that would put an end to islam. One Army will put an end to islam… for all time…in the very near future. Literally! There will be no more of this evil to stalk mankind. No more arrogant and foolish people like this arrogant and foolish snake worshiper to threaten and demand to have his way.

Erdogan reminds me of a murderous character in the Theatre of the Absurd? He calls European leaders Nazis and says three German political parties are racist and anti Turk. He says France’s Macron is in need of psychiatric care. He blackmails Europe (gets billions of dollars) to look after the Syrian refugees who fled Syria because of the Syrian Civil War which started through the incitement of Erdogan. He converts Hagia Sophia Byzantine cathedral into a mosque. He decides who runs the affairs of the tiny Armenian Church in Turkey. he destroys Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian churches. He uses the vilest anti-Semitic statements about Jews of Israel and the diaspora. His economy is still (barely) afloat because because of the generosity of Europe and America. Despite all this, Germany and other NATO states arm Turkey and invest there. Yes, the barbarian west is about to launch a Crusade.
Aussie Infidel says
Erdogan commented, “Since the Crusades, the seeds of evil and hatred have started falling on these (Muslim) lands and that’s when peace was disrupted”.
But Erdogan, like most Muslim leaders is once again telling lies and playing the victim. Peace was disrupted when Islam’s Prophet declared war on all non-Muslims and invaded their lands some 1,400 years ago. He also thought it justified to indulge in sex-slavery as ‘booty of war from Allah’.
“So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.” (Ishaq:511).
“When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’.” Bukhari 5:59:516. The war-cry of the jihadists goes all the way back to Muhammad himself.
Muhammad was a psychopath and became angry that others would not accept his claim that he spoke with God – and that God told him that Islam was “the only true and perfect religion” (Quran 3:19, 5:3); that kafirs (unbelievers) were the “worst of people” (Quran 98:6); that “believers should not take unbelievers as friends or allies” (Quran 4:144, 5:51); that “Muslims are the best of people” (Quran 98:7); that he (Muhammad) was “an excellent role model for all Muslims” (Quran 33:21); that Allah hates all unbelievers (Quran 3:32, 5:14, 35:39, 40:35); and to “murder anyone who didn’t believe him”. (Quran 2:191, 9:5, 33:60-62).
Muhammad even boasted, “I have been made victorious with terror”. (Bukhari 4:52:220). Muhammad himself was a self-confessed terrorist.
Muhammad had no remorse or empathy for other people, and lived by the rule of the Arabian desert clans. He simply took what he wanted, and blamed everyone else for the chaos he caused. Erdogan and other Muslim leaders need to understand why decent people everywhere do not like Muhammad, let alone revere him – and that’s why they mock him.
The “seeds of evil and hatred” did not originate in the Crusades but in Islam’s own holy books, and from the mindset of its prophet. It’s high time that all the militant Muslim control freaks around the world admitted the truth instead of behaving like spoiled brats throwing tantrums.
It’s time to come clean and finally tell the truth about Islam. This is the 21st century, not 7th Century Arabia, where some illiterate caravan raider could con the plebs into believing that he received revelations from Allah. Now in this more enlightened globalist world, the all-pervasive Internet has exposed the hatred, bigotry and violence in Islam and the truth about Muhammad – and the lies of it leaders.

Your assumption is wrong and irrational, Ecosse, like many of the other comments here. Recent events in France are indeed horrifying.
But, I come from a place where gun deaths are rare, where the US murder rate seems almost beyond belief, and where voting with a gun in your pocket or handbag is unimaginable, as well as illegal. So to me, Americans expressing concern about barbarity in other countries is confusing. Forgive me.
As for what might happen in US streets next week, like the rest of the civilised world I wait with trepidation.
