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

Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, France and UAE conduct joint military exercises amid rising Turkish threat

Dec 5, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 1 Comment

In a significant move, the United Arab Emirates “is participating for the first time, along with new arrival France, in the joint Greek-Egyptian-Cypriot Medusa-10 training exercises being held Nov. 30 to Dec. 6 off the coast of Alexandria.” The presence of this alliance in the Mediterranean sends a strong message to Turkey, although “their true […]

Erdogan: ‘Turks must defend the rights of Jerusalem, even with their lives’ for ‘the honor of the Islamic nation’

Dec 5, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 4 Comments

Erdogan addressed a Muslim American Society audience on video, and reiterated his pledge to work towards a unified Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and Israel confined to its pre-1967 borders. The ’67 borders are also known as the Auschwitz borders, because Israel will not be able to defend itself from obliteration should […]

Islamic Republic of Iran: Turkey’s Erdogan champions Islam only as a tool to further his own interests

Dec 5, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

Although Iran and Turkey have been friends of convenience because of the fact that they share mutual enemies, both Shia Iran and Sunni Turkey seek regional and ultimately global dominion. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before their ambitions collided, particularly also in light of the ancient and ongoing Sunni-Shia conflict. “Anti-Turkish Statements […]

Erdogan: ‘Meanness’ toward Muhammad is ‘far removed’ from ‘freedom of thought’

Nov 29, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 65 Comments

In other words, you can have freedom of thought, as long as you don’t think what he doesn’t want you to think. The West is going all-in for this Orwellian idea these days, so why not Erdogan? “Erdogan: Insulting people’s beliefs is not freedom,” TRT World, November 28, 2020: Turkish President Erdogan says those who […]

EU-sanctioned German commandos board Turkish ship in Mediterranean to enforce UN arms embargo on Libya

Nov 28, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 29 Comments

A collaborative effort by the EU, UN and NATO to control Turkish influence in Libya has caused outrage in Turkey. It is to be expected that Erdogan would blame Greece, since Erdogan habitually scapegoats the Greeks. He has been bullying Greece for some time, prompting the Greek government to begin bolstering its military, due to Turkey’s […]

Turkey’s Erdogan says he sees Turkey as ‘part of Europe’ and wants full EU membership

Nov 26, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 48 Comments

The greatest ambition of Erdogan is a revived Ottoman Empire. Should he obtain his goals of EU membership and the settling of large numbers of Muslim migrants throughout the EU, his ambition will be closer to realization. Erdogan has referred to Europe as a “sick man” – “the slur European politicians used to describe the […]

Algerian analyst hits ‘Armenia’s hostile attitude towards Islam,’ says Erdogan ‘acts as protector of all Muslims’

Nov 3, 2020 10:30 am By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

Erdogan is positioning himself to restore the caliphate, and that seems to be fine with this Algerian analyst. Al-Rafi’s remarks are also further confirmation that the Azerbaijanis and their allies view their conflict with Armenia as an Islamic jihad. “Armenia hostile to entire Islamic world, says Algerian analyst,” Trend News Agency, October 29, 2020: Armenia […]

Canada: Trudeau government grants exemption to sell drone technology to Turkey

Oct 31, 2020 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 37 Comments

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan supports ISIS, is virulently anti-Israel, and is now recruiting jihadists from Syria with plans to attack Greece. Turkey also violated Greek airspace 45 times, and meddles in Libya. Erdogan called the EU “sick” and “collapsing”; he called French President Emmanuel Macron mentally unbalanced for protecting the freedom of speech in […]

Erdogan says West is ‘once again headed to a period of barbarity’: ‘They literally want to relaunch the Crusades’

Oct 30, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 69 Comments

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 […]

Turkey’s Erdogan files criminal complaint against Geert Wilders for insulting him

Oct 29, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

Erdogan has long been antagonizing the EU, and has referred to it as “sick” and “collapsing.” Recently, we have seen his furious defense of Islam in France in the wake of the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty for showing a cartoon of Muhammad. His latest target is Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who is well known […]

Muslim world condemns Macron over cartoons, Iran’s Zarif says ‘Muslims are primary victims of cult of hatred’

Oct 28, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 35 Comments

France is experiencing backlash from across the Muslim world, including Pakistan, Libya, Gaza, Lebanon, Morocco, Jordan, Turkey and Iran, for standing up for the freedom of speech. And once again, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is discussing the pain Muslims feel when Muhammad is insulted, just as he did when he was first elected in […]

Egypt’s Sisi: Erdogan ‘now openly uses the Islamic factor,’ warns of ‘wave of terrorists in Greece in the future’

Oct 28, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 18 Comments

The warning from the Egyptian President should put the EU on alert to not tolerate jihadist expansion by Turkey, which is aiming to revive the Ottoman Empire. Back in 2016, Foreign Policy Magazine warned that “Turkey’s new Maps” were “reclaiming the Ottoman Empire” and that Erdogan’s “aggressive nationalism” was “spilling over Turkey’s borders, grabbing land […]

Erdogan: Muslims in Europe are treated like Jews before World War II

Oct 27, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 38 Comments

Really? Where has a single state denied Muslims the right to employment, or confiscated their property, or done anything comparable to what National Socialist Germany did to the Jews before World War II? Also, if this were true, why are Muslims trying so hard to get into Europe, rather than streaming out of it? Erdogan’s […]

Erdogan: Raid on Berlin mosque ‘nourished by racism and Islamophobia,’ brings Europe ‘closer to Middle Ages’

Oct 26, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 47 Comments

Here yet again we see that anytime a Muslim organization runs afoul of the law for any reason, opportunistic supremacists such as Erdogan will portray this as a manifestation of “Islamophobia,” defined as the unfair targeting of innocent Muslims, which is so rare in real life that incidents of it have to be manufactured. Erdogan […]

Erdogan: ‘What is the problem of Macron with Muslims and Islam? Macron needs treatment on a mental level’

Oct 25, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 76 Comments

This is quite similar to charging opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others with “Islamophobia,” which implies that opposition to such evils are afflicted with a pathology, a psychological disorder. The logic of that leads to pseudo-therapeutic torture in reeducation camps, but we aren’t quite there yet. In any case, these […]

Turkey, Azerbaijan commit more crimes against Armenians

Oct 24, 2020 3:00 pm By Uzay Bulut 36 Comments

On September 27, the people of the Armenian Republic of Artsakh in the South Caucasus, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, woke up to the shelling of the military forces of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani forces have since indiscriminately shelled the civilian areas of Artsakh including its capital, Stepanakert. Many residential areas have been largely destroyed by Azerbaijani bombardment. Half of the population have been displaced, the region’s rights ombudsman Artak Beglaryan […]

Erdogan Antagonizes His ‘Arab Brothers’

Oct 24, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 16 Comments

Burak Bekdil is a brave and humorful Turkish journalist who dares, while living in Ankara, to highlight the political follies of President Erdogan in articles he writes for foreign websites. A recent column of interest from him is here. Neither the Ottoman nor the modern Turkish language has ever been short of racist proverbs denigrating […]

Archbishop of Albania: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is a ‘cultural jihad’

Oct 21, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

The archbishop is right. The conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is for Erdogan a symbol of Islam’s triumph over secularism, just as its conversion to a museum in 1935 was a symbol of secularism’s triumph over Islam, and its original conversion to a mosque in 1453 was a symbol of Islam’s triumph over […]

Israel’s Defense Minister: Turkey and Iran are ‘denying promotion of peace and supporting regional aggression’

Oct 8, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

Turkey has become an increasing menace and bully in the region. On the heels of Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declaring the absurdity that “Jerusalem has been our city for thousands of years,” Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has stated accurately that Turkey and Iran are “denying promotion of peace and supporting regional aggression.” Both […]

Macron demands Erdogan explain presence of jihadis in Azerbaijan, doesn’t explain presence of jihadis in France

Oct 5, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

Macron’s concern over Azerbaijan is reasonable, but he should pay closer attention to developments at home. To be sure, he has recently promised to do so, but words are cheap. “France’s Macron demands Turkey explain ‘jihadists’ in Azerbaijan,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday […]
