Erdogan: ‘Jerusalem Has Been Our City For Thousands of Years’

Oct 4, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 45 Comments

Erdogan addressed the opening of the Turkish Parliament on October 1 with a ringing declaration that “Jerusalem Has Been Our City For Thousands of Years.” The “our” in “our city” seemed to refer now to the Turks, and now to the “Palestinian people.” The story is here. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday implied […]

Turkey’s Erdogan: ‘Jerusalem is our city’

Oct 3, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

Erdogan’s aspirations to restore the caliphate grow plainer by the day, but Western officials continue to ignore them. “‘Jerusalem is our city,’ Turkey’s Erdogan declares,” by Raphael Ahren, Times of Israel, October 1, 2020: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday implied that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey, referring to the Ottoman Empire’s control over the […]

Turkey: Muslim cleric demands invasion of Cyprus for the sake of Islam and Muhammad’s aunt

Oct 1, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

“The Ottoman navy greeted the Prophet Muhammad’s aunt, Umm Haram (known as Hala Sultan), with gunfire as they passed near Cyprus. The tomb of Hala Sultan, who participated in the first Muslim expedition to the sea, is under Greek occupation. Let us greet Hala Sultan again and tell her we will be coming soon.” Erdogan […]

India’s permanent representative to UN rebukes Erdogan’s criticism of India over Kashmir: ‘gross interference’

Sep 26, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 10 Comments

T. S. Tirumurti is right. Turkey has been an increasing global menace, matching or even surpassing Iran in its brazen attempts to expand its influence and interfere in regional dynamics: “Under Erdogan, Turkey has dramatically escalated its efforts toward foreign military intervention. In 2019, the Turkish military entered and occupied large portions of northern Syria. […]

Erdogan urges UN to set up ‘International Solidarity Day Against Islamophobia,’ hits legitimizing of ‘hate speech’

Sep 26, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 34 Comments

Erdogan’s obvious agenda in urging the United Nations to establish an “International Solidarity Day Against Islamophobia” is to try to weaken and ultimately destroy the freedom of speech. This is clearly much more important to him than the atrocities that are being committed against the Uighur Muslim population in China. As far as he is […]

Turkey’s closeness to the Islamic State is yet more evidence that it is deserting its NATO ‘allies’

Sep 25, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

Erdogan’s Turkey has been quite active recently, from its conversion of the Hagia Sophia and its provocations in Greece to its ongoing threats to open the gates for millions of Muslim migrants to flood into Europe. Erdogan is ever more clearly an enemy of Kemalist secularism, and envisions the recreation of the Ottoman empire. Since […]

In Libya, Fayez al-Sarraj Announces He Will Quit, Upsetting Erdogan

Sep 24, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 6 Comments

In Libya, Turkish troops and more than 20,000 Syrian mercenaries brought in by Turkey have turned the tide in favor of the Government of National Accord (GNA), ending the 14-month siege of Tripoli by the LNA and pushing General Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) forces eastward, all the way to Sirte. The two sides — […]

Greece: Media publish photos claiming to show Turkish security services helping migrants cross into country

Sep 13, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

Turkey certainly has no intention of itself being a safe haven for migrants and refugees. Turkish forces have been shooting down refugees at its border, while aiding the hijra into the European Union via Greece. Foreign Policy reported back in March about the grim scene between at the Greek border: The number of migrants leaving […]

Turkey: Government music video hails Ottoman caliphate, says “The world is waiting for ‘There is no god but Allah'”

Sep 13, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 38 Comments

Where are all the learned mainstream analysts who confidently told us that secular Turkey was the wave of the future in the Islamic world, and that other Muslim countries would emulate it?  “Turkish Government Music Video Presents Turkish Military, Erdoğan As Heir To Ottoman, Seljuk Dynasties, Portrays Turkish Conquerors Praying In Hagia Sophia Mosque,” […]

Greece bolstering its military amid Turkey’s ‘provocative statements’ and ‘near-daily’ threats of war

Sep 12, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 16 Comments

Turkey continues to up the ante and behave in the Mediterranean as a regional Islamic supremacist bully. As a result, Greece is now building up its military, developing its defense industry as Turkish President Erdogan warns that “Turkey will continue to follow a determined and active policy in the eastern Mediterranean.” Erdogan issued a thinly-veiled […]

Greece ramps up border security in preparation for Turkey to unleash another wave of Muslim migrants

Sep 11, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 33 Comments

Turkey has been an ongoing menace to Greece. Early in August, women on the Greek island of Lesvos protested the inundation of illegal Muslim migrants. “‘They took advantage of our humanity and tolerance,’ said a protester, remembering that the people of Lesvos were once nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for their role in assisting […]

Erdogan presenting himself as ‘leader of the Muslim world’ as Palestinians hail him at Al Aqsa mosque

Sep 11, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 25 Comments

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s strongman tactics render him appealing to those who are most dedicated to the vision of Islamic expansion. They are increasingly regarding him as “leader of the Muslim world,” particularly since the UAE-Israel peace agreement. Erdogan’s “popularity with Palestinians reflects his long championing of their struggle for nationhood and comes as […]

Erdogan: ‘We are not a society that has an army – we are a nation that is itself an army’

Sep 9, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 69 Comments

Where is that army going? Erdogan gives a hint: “Do the people of Greece accept what will happen to them because of their greedy and incompetent leaders? Do the people of France accept the price they will pay because of their greedy and incompetent leaders? Are the brotherly peoples of some North African and countries […]

The would-be caliph of course supports jihad activity. It is, in fact, his duty to further such activity. “Turkey supporting ISIS terror netrowk [sic] in India, probe agencies concerned: Report,” by Manish Shukla, Zee News, September 5, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): NEW DELHI: Following a recent security assessment, it has been found […]

Turkey demolishes iconic church, ‘Hagia Sophia of Bursa’

Sep 5, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Bursa is the fourth largest city in Turkey. In 2013, the building was handed over to an Islamic foundation, which left it to rot. Now that it has been razed to the ground, it will be rebuilt as a cultural center. Turkey’s brazen contempt for Christianity in destroying or appropriating iconic churches, especially Hagia Sophia […]

Erdoğan’s Cultural Genocide Against Turkey’s Christian Heritage

Sep 4, 2020 12:00 pm By Ioannis E. Kotoulas

In July, the Turkish government under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan turned Hagia Sophia, the most iconic church of the Orthodox Christian world, into a mosque. In August, the historical Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora was also turned into a mosque. With these initiatives, Turkey has decidedly declared its aspiration to confront the Western […]

Turkey’s economy plunges as tourists stay away after conversion of Hagia Sophia, Chora church to mosques

Sep 2, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“A gesture to Muslims is [a] much more immediate [political gain] and preferable and the [gains from the] touristic side of Hagia Sophia can be negligible,” Sonmez argued. “That’s why he didn’t take it into consideration.” That is, the benefits of asserting Islam’s superiority over both secularism and Christianity outweighed for Erdogan any economic considerations.

One-third of Egyptians see Turkey as the world’s leading Muslim country, many are willing to fight for it

Sep 2, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

As Turkey expands its footprint across the Arab world, using force more than diplomacy, many Muslims in Egypt — the country that gave birth to the Muslim Brotherhood — see Turkey as the leading Muslim country, and they are willing to fight for it. Undoubtedly Turkey has become today’s Islamic supremacist strongman, newly emboldened especially […]

Turkey grants citizenship to dozens of “most senior” Hamas jihadist operatives and their families

Aug 30, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In mid-August, Jihad Watch reported that Turkey had been accused of giving citizenship to Hamas members who were planning jihad terror attacks, which Turkey denied. Just over a week after that, Turkish President Erdogan hosted a large Hamas delegation, including wanted jihad terrorists who murdered Israelis. Now comes more: Turkey has granted citizenship to a […]

Turkey and Jihad

Aug 28, 2020 11:00 am By Uzay Bulut

Turkey is in the news again for its hosting Hamas terrorists and granting them Turkish passports. The covenant of Hamas openly aims for annihilation of Israel. In a written statement, the US State Department “strongly objected” to Turkey’s hosting two Hamas leaders in Istanbul on August 22. Hamas leaders received red-carpet treatment from Turkish President […]
