In Islamic countries, so-called “Islamophobia” is rife in the face of refugee crises. Libya recently detained 5,000 migrants as part of an ongoing crackdown. Last year, Iran deported nearly 40,000 refugees back to Afghanistan in the month of August alone.
In 2016, Turkey was shooting at asylum seekers to keep them out. In 2018, Turkey was again shooting at refugees to keep them out. One cannot imagine the outcry if a Western country were committing such atrocities against Muslims. We would hear the loudest-ever accusations of “Islamophobia” from Turkey. But now, much has “improved” in Turkey since the country has built an over 600-mile long fortified border wall to keep out Afghan migrants.
Open borders is a Western construct that is slowly and steadily destroying free societies, which are obsessed with not appearing to be “Islamophobic”; meanwhile, Muslim countries couldn’t care less.
Despite Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s habitual supremacist verbosity in defense of himself, his country and fellow Muslims, he lectures the EU that it is Europe’s responsibility to take in Muslim migrants:
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged European countries to take responsibility in the event of an influx, warning that Turkey had no intention of becoming “Europe’s migrant storage unit.”
The Muslim invasion of the EU and the West in general works hand-in-hand with Erdogan’s vision of a revived Ottoman Empire.
“Over 1,000 km of Turkish land borders protected by security walls,” Daily Sabah, October 26, 2021:
Over 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) of Turkish land borders have been fortified with security walls to prevent potential migration waves as of September, the Presidential Annual Program for 2022 underlined.
Within the scope of the physical security system project initiated in 2015 to secure the country’s borders, security walls were constructed along 1,005 kilometers of Turkey’s land borders, accounting for 34% of borders.
In the Presidential Annual Program for 2022, published in the Official Gazette, procedures designed to prevent illegal passages were listed under “security services.”
The project was initiated in 2015 with the aim of stemming the ever-increasing flow of irregular mass migration along Turkey’s 2,949 kilometers of land borders. Since 2015, 837 kilometers of Turkey’s 1,295-kilometer southern border have been sealed with a border wall. In the east, walls have been erected along 168 kilometers of the 1,182-kilometer border since work began in 2017.
The construction of a wall along 73 kilometers of Turkey’s 2,477-kilometer eastern and southern land borders, all neighboring Iran, also continued this year. Work is ongoing to bolster the 238-kilometer stretch along the Iranian border in the east and 33 kilometers on the border shared with Iraq in the south.
In Van, which has the longest border with Iran, security forces are taking every possible precaution to prevent illegal crossings, smuggling activities and terrorist infiltrations by constantly monitoring and patrolling the border with armored vehicles.
Faced with a potential migrant wave due to the instability in Afghanistan, Turkey has maximized measures on its eastern border. Turkey is continuing efforts to bolster the security of its border with Iran to prevent any new influx of migrants. The beefed-up border measures in Turkey, which already hosts nearly 4 million Syrian refugees and is a staging post for many migrants trying to reach Europe, began as the Taliban started advancing in Afghanistan and took over Kabul.
Turkey is not the only country putting up barriers. Its neighbor Greece recently completed a 40-kilometer fence and surveillance system to keep out migrants who manage to enter Turkey and attempt to reach the European Union.
Authorities say there are 182,000 registered Afghan migrants in Turkey and up to an estimated 120,000 unregistered ones. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged European countries to take responsibility in the event of an influx, warning that Turkey had no intention of becoming “Europe’s migrant storage unit.”…..
Infidel says
And Iran has nothing to say about this? Given that Turkey and Afghanistan is separated not by a wall, but by an entire country – Iran!
mortimer says
Walls are effective if they are high enough and deep enough. That’s why Joe-mentia Bribed-man built one around his beach-front home for almost 1/2 million.
Jeepers … it’s only taxpayers’ money …. give a million to each illegal alien.
Wellington says
I’ll give this much to Erdogan and that is that he is smart. He’s also wicked and possessed of a whole host of bad ideas mixed with venom for the West, but bad ideas and misplaced animosity are not indicative of a dearth of intelligence unless moral intelligence, often times called “character,” is meant. If this latter kind of intelligence is the “barometer” of Erdogan’s overall worth, then Erdogan is a mental midget, as is anyone professing support for Islam, Muslim or non-Muslim alike.
All of which takes me to the ongoing disaster which keeps giving and giving (or is it taking and taking?). I am of course referring to Joe Biden. Biden has never been smart. He never will be. This is a given. He has oozed mediocrity and hack political professional status for half a century and now all of this is “complicated” by his obviously ever growing dementia.
But Biden gets a wall (costing approximately a half million dollars at taxpayer’s expense) around his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (N.B., those not knowing Delaware {I do, all some 91 municipalities, including the ancient Hundreds and all of which municipalities I have been to even though the Hundreds no longer have any kind of government, and not counting the three counties of New Castle, Kent and Susses} often times erroneously refer to it as “Rehoboth”—this is simply wrong). But walls on America’s southern border are awful and do not work. Right.
Well, Biden, you massive hypocrite (rather as is the case with Pope Francis and his Vatican Walls), you make me sick, you double standard snake. What a repulsive human being you (and your family) are.
But back to Erdogan. He’s a snake too but a far cleverer snake than Dementia Joe. Not good. Not good at all. Yes indeed, the Age of Nonsense marches on, compliments of Erdogan, Islam overall and a bevy of fools in the West now leading the West. Time for a beer.
Wellington says
“Sussex” and not “Susses.” Largest of Delaware’s three counties and changed to “Sussex” from “Deal,” formerly “Whorekill,” by William Penn himself. For the record and all that because facts matter, facts being something optional for both Muslims and Leftists alike.

Turkey fortifies over 600 miles of land border with walls to keep out Afghans
………….
Grimly hilarous, given Turkey’s forcing migrants on Europe.
But then, the Muslim invasion of Europe furthers the cause of Islam–but Turkey doesn’t want them.
Infidel says
So Turkey wants Taliban as an ally and the ability to influence Afghanistan, but it doesn’t want Afghans in Turkey itself? I thought that they celebrate the Ghaznavids as one of the great 16 Turkic empires – that same dynasty that’s considered as one of the founders of Afghanistan
gravenimage says
They just don’t want Jihadists running around there–in case they decide that Erdogan himself is not Islamic enough.
somehistory says
Hey, now, isn’t that racist discrimination? How dare he do such a thing to his “brothers”? Are they, the afghanistan mozlums, calling “phobia” to the slime maggot of turkey?
mozlums don’t like mozlums much, so how about a little, teensy-bit of, understanding for the regular people who don’t want mozlums….of any sect, stripe, devotion, disloyalty, or bathing/restroom habits living next door…or even down the street?
No? Well, then this, I call normalophobia, moralityophobia, ethicsophobia, and a pure hatred for the Godly, Christian, Golden Rule given by Jesus Christ, “Do to others the same as you wish done to you.”
owensgate says
Considering the Kafkaesque political atmosphere we’re forced to breath in this alternate universe we’re in, I’m left wondering what portion of Erdogan’s “Wall” was financed by the U.S. Taxpayer?

Leftists inspired by John Lennon’s “Imagine” ?
“Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do”
gravenimage says
James, I know this song is widely loved–and now routinely played on New Year’s Eve–but I’ve always found its lyrics rather disturbing–especially the idea that there is *nothing* worth fighting for.
somehistory says
Never liked the song….for several parts of the lyrics. Also, never liked lennon. That’s not hard to do either…the dislike.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I think Lennon was a talented guy and wrote some good songs. But his philosophy was pretty incoherrent, and this vapid song exemplifies that.
somehistory says
He helped write some good songs…I believe Paul M. is telling the truth when he says he wrote most of them and yoko helped lennon steal the rights.
In any case, lennon left his legit wife for the putrid yoko and that alone is reason enough for me to dislike him.
Infidel says
Always hated that song – even in the 80s when I was a Beatles fan. (Back then, in India, we had no exposure to the great glam metal of that era, which remains my favorite to this day when I heard it once I came here)
Also Lennon was the least of my favorite Beatles: it was a tie b/w McCartney and Harrison. I disliked him b’cos he was a communist (aside from this song, listen to the song ‘Revolution’ and ‘Back in the USSR’). He was also one of the pro-criminal libs of his day: his campaigns included one to get a serial killer out (I forget the name)
James Lincoln says
Infidel says,
“…Lennon was the least of my favorite Beatles…I disliked him b’cos he was a communist (aside from this song, listen to the song ‘Revolution’ and ‘Back in the USSR’).
John Lennon was an extraordinarily talented songwriter, singer, and guitarist. That being said:
If Lennon were alive today, he would likely very publicly support Far Leftist “values”.
And, ironically, ‘Back in the USSR’ came out shortly before the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. With the Soviet presence in Czechoslovakia lasting until 1991.
Bhargava Brijkishore says
VERY GOOD IDEA OF MUSLIM COUNTRIESTO SENDMUSLIM JIHADIES TO. CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES to spread Islam.
gravenimage says
Is Bhargava Brijkishore here a genuine Jihadist? I believe this is typically a Hindu name.
Fitna says
Bhargava,
Christian/Secular countries are far more advanced than Muslim in every possible metric. They’re actually more peaceful, far cleaner and modernized, richer, happier.
Muslim states are stuck in the 7th century and if it wasn’t for oil/gas, minerals that the West needs, which Muslims firstly wouldn’t know what to do with it, you would’ve remained there or Islam would’ve died off ages ago.
Not to worry though, there are enough of us ready to oppose Islam and have Muslims thrown out of our countries in due time, esp. when our leaders smarten up and make anti-Islamic laws.
Jim says
The Muslim countries do not want their Muslim brothers and sisters, why should the USA ? Only stupid morons like Obama and Biden would take them in. Soon it will be just as bad here as over there, and the Bidens have a wall against their mansions, but ordinary Americans who want a wall around their country are racists and Islamophobes.
Fitna says
Sadly right Jim, should Dems stay in power for a decade or more, they’ll bring in as many Muslims as they could.
Most of them will be criminals and terrorists posing as refugees that Muslim nations don’t want. There will be tens of millions of Muslims in the US, wreaking all kinds of havoc and it’ll take civil war to remove them.
While the Dems will be laughing at us from their private islands.
Fitna says
Correction, the rich Dems….the poor ones will either convert to Islam to save their necks or will be trying to flee the country or will be turned into slaves by Muslims…but if the Muslims conquer Europe and the US, then eventually the world will be Islamified.
OLD GUY says
Walls work as well as LAW and ORDER, funny our leaders only see this when it’s their property or family they want SAFE.
We have a whole bunch of self-centered idiots running this country. If they destroy this country they will get on their private jet and go to their offshore estates with their offshore bank accounts, with no remorse for destroying America. They will see it as it’s those dumb deplorable’s that just couldn’t follow their great leadership. Yes my fellow Americans we will have failed them, not them us.
