In 2019, NBC published a report, “Turkey’s attack on Kurds in Syria betrays those doing the fighting against ISIS — and dying.” But such is the character of Turkey in its ruthless pursuit of regional and global influence; its agenda includes a harsh crackdown on the Kurds. Turkey under Erdogan is essentially an aggressive jihadist […]
Turkey tells NATO Secretary General that Sweden must stop Kurdish protests
Turkey is again attempting to order Sweden around. NATO’s big mistake was to embrace Turkey as a member in the first place. Considering its Ottoman history, it was obvious that Turkey was a risky partner for NATO to begin with. Turkey made the historic choice of siding with the free world in World War II for its […]
Under pressure from Erdogan, US swiftly condemns Kurdish PKK
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that the Kurdish PKK group “bears responsibility” for the execution of 13 Turkish hostages in Iraq over the weekend. The speed at which condemnation of the PKK occurred without allowing time for analysis and investigation is worrying. It suggests a tendency toward appeasement, which is no surprise […]
Syria: Islamic State raids two women’s homes, murders them with machine guns, for working for ‘apostate’ group
Remember: the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, so its members wouldn’t really care if someone was working for a group that had departed from Islamic norms. Right? Everyone in the West tells us so: every last non-Muslim politician in the U.S. and Europe is sure that ISIS has hijacked Islam, which is […]
Antifa members from US went to Syria to fight alongside Kurdish Marxist groups
Communism is an internationalist movement, so this comes as no surprise. It would be illuminating to know what other training Antifa has received, who are its funding sources, and whether it has any connection, in light of the increasingly manifest Leftist-Islamic alliance, with jihad groups. Once they’re in Syria, it wouldn’t be hard to make […]
Turks fight Kurdish Leftists and Antifa in Vienna, Austrian Chancellor accuses Erdogan of stoking tensions in EU
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz “has accused Turkey of sowing strife in Europe” after members of the Turkish Grey Wolves, an ultra-nationalist Turkish political organization, “clashed with Kurdish leftists and their Antifa allies in Vienna.” This is nothing new. “In 2016, the two groups clashed in the city of Duisburg and both Turks and Kurds briefly […]
Iran and Turkey join forces against the Kurds
Last year, 90,000 mosques prayed Qur’anic “conquest” prayers for victory against the Kurds, calling on Muslims to be “ruthless against unbelievers,” right before Erdogan’s thousands of soldiers were dispatched to “decimate” the Kurds. Now the Turkish Interior Ministry has announced that Turkey and Iran have joined forces “against Kurdish separatist militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ […]
Turkey vows to “fight terrorism until the end”
“Turkish national defense minister on Saturday reiterated that Turkey continues its fight against terrorism.” By this, he does not mean Islamic jihad; he means those groups and people that Turkey deems to be “terrorist,” such as Israel, evangelical Christians, Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units. Unfortunately, many Western counterterror analysts will […]
Turkey uses the Islamic State as excuse to attack Kurds
Erdogan has been notably reluctant to attack the Islamic State, and when he finally does, he attacks the Kurds. Clearly he hopes that the Islamic State will take care of some of his enemies for him, and then Turkey can step in and reap the dividends. “Turkey Uses ISIS as Excuse to Attack Kurds,” by […]
