“Europe, where 35 million Muslims live today, including 6 million Turks, is increasingly turning into an open-air prison for our brothers and sisters,” he claimed, without elaborating on what he meant.
Erdogan did not elaborate on what he meant because he knew full well that the catch-all phrase “Islamophobia” has become a powerful tool of subjugation, thanks to kowtowing leftists who are being played for fools by stealth jihadists such as Erdogan.
Western leftists still haven’t caught on to the fact that victimology is an Islamic supremacist stratagem used to beat down critics of Islam, crushing dissent and breaking the backbone of free society, the freedom of speech. Once there is a “victim,” then there must be a perpetrator; Islamic supremacists have done well in indoctrinating far too many Westerners into believing that their countries are oppressive to Muslims. So the mindset becomes that in order to be good and tolerant, one must not offend Islam. As a result, restrictions on the freedom of speech are perpetually increasing. Erdogan’s dream is of a revived Ottoman Empire, and he is working hard to make it a reality. The worst victimization of Muslims is happening in China, but Erdogan’s focus is on Europe, which he sees as ripe for subjugation.
“Turkey’s Erdogan Claims ‘Virus’ of Islamophobia Turning Europe Into ‘Open-Air Prison’ for Muslims,” Sputnik News, May 14, 2021:
The world in general and Europe in particular is suffering from the “Islamophobia virus,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has suggested.
“The virus of Islamophobia, which is as dangerous as the coronavirus, is spreading rapidly, especially in European countries,” Erdogan said in a speech this week, his remarks cited by local media.
The president added that Muslims, including millions of Turks, are in danger of hate crimes in current conditions. “Europe, where 35 million Muslims live today, including 6 million Turks, is increasingly turning into an open-air prison for our brothers and sisters,” he claimed, without elaborating on what he meant.
Erdogan suggested that the current security situation for Muslims was very “grim,” and that a “serious threat” to their safety exists in Europe.
The Turkish president went on to attack Western governments for their alleged disregard for Muslims’ religious values under the pretext of the freedom of expression, presumably referencing free speech laws allowing for the publication of potentially offensive images of the Prophet Mohammed.
He pointed in particular to France’s recent push for a new anti-extremism law, ostensibly aimed at reinforcing the country’s republican values of secularism, liberty, equality and fraternity. Under the new law, communities would be obliged to sign a charter under these national principles, and face limits in the amount of money their organizations can receive from abroad.
“Passing such a bill, which openly contradicts human rights, freedom of belief, and European values, will serve as a guillotine for French Democracy,” Erdogan suggested, urging Paris to “act reasonably” and scrap the bill. He added that Turkey was prepared to work with France and other countries on “counterterrorism and integration” initiatives.
Erdogan has repeatedly attacked French President Macron over his anti-extremism drive, which began last year following the beheading death of a French schoolteacher who showed a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed. The Turkish leader has questioned Macron’s mental health, advised him not to comment on matters pertaining to Islam, and accused him of intolerance to other faiths.Last year, Erdogan also warned that Europe was “preparing its own end” with its “attacks” against Muslims, pointing to a police raid on a mosque in Germany over suspected terror financing. The Turkish president warned at the time that if the continent doesn’t rid themselves of the “disease” of Islamophobia, “it will collapse all of Europe from within.”…

then return to your mosklem countries immediately
mortimer says
Agree, go to Berzerkistan with COMPLETE SHARIA LAW!
Erdogan doesn’t understand that is the message he is implying.
If Muslims want to be more Islamic, they need to live in ISIS, Soddy Barbaria or Afghastlistan.
revereridesagain says
What a bunch of pretentious clowns. Sad thing is how many fools they take in.
gravenimage says
I think Erdogan knows what he is doing. He is hoping to instill unearned guilt in Europeans, and shut down any criticism of Islam and Muslims.
Rob Porter says
Erdogan is such a raving imbecile that its a pity some publication doesn’t do a regular mocking of him and his stupid comments in the manner of some British publication that mocked Uganda’s Idi Amin, referring to him as ‘Idi-otic’.
Erdogan is one step above a lunatic – which doesn’t say much for Barack Obama who regarded Erdogan his favourite foreign leader and looked as though he wanted to kiss this delusional moron.

gregbeetham says
Yes, there is a very simple solution to end their suffering, arrange passage back to the delights of Kabul or Damascus or even Istanbul, Erdogan would obviously welcome them; they can really live it up in those Islamic paradises.
Dude says
Lying is the most important quality for them to cultivate. This turkey dude can tell these lies with a straight face. Well, actually his face is twisted with pure evil. FAIL
We all know that the cult was spread back in the seventh century when they invented the airplane and built printing presses to publish millions of books to educate the world by dropping parachuted books everywhere.
Of course, if peoples didn’t convert to the book, then pillaging forces invaded, using the sword to convert them for their own good.
Westman says
Whining about “Islamophobia” suggests a purposeful forgetting on Erdogan’s part. Remember the conquest of Kuwait and the attack of 9/11, Erdogan? This was when the unbelievers began studying Islam and found it wanting. It was Muslims who caused the world to see the inherently violent nature of Islam. It is Muslims who continue generating dislike of Islam through evil action.
It’s over, Erdogan. Islam will never recover the image once held by ignorant unbelievers who are now educated. Making a Mosque out of Hagia Sophia and voicing threats only cements a nefarious image on Islam. Keep jabbering.

Fred: ‘Berlin’s Socialist Interior Senator calls anti-Israeli rioters “experience-oriented” Is he referring to Nazis experience before WW2?
Westman says
Is this the guy who gets angry when EU nations won’t let him campaign, in their nation, at “his” citizens to vote for him in Turkey’s election? Now he says EU Muslims and “his people” are in an open air prison due to Islamophobia because Islam is quite worthy of, and receives, criticism. Does he really want them in Turkey?
What was that phrase, “A man cannot serve two masters. The EU should never have allowed dual citizenship which aids jihad. For a Turkish Muslim in France it could be three masters, France, Turkey, and Islam.

David says
As muslims say” Piss be upon him”
Jim says
I would say that if this is true, perhaps they should try a jailbreak. They could apply for asylum in Turkey or other Muslim states. I am sure they can set out on rafts and boats in the Mediterranean and be picked up by Muslim rescue ships. No doubt that would be the right answer all around. The other possibility could be to Islamize The Western world, and get rid of evil religions like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and so on. This would solve the problem to everyone’s satisfaction, as the Christians are abandoning their false religion in droves.
gravenimage says
This last is of course their aim.
David says
Jim, your suggestion is the aim of Islam. The ‘Peace’ part of the ‘religion of peace’ is when there are no other dissenting religions. It should be called the Religion of Police (Sharia Police)

the head terrorist, psychopath of sharia the magnificent sultan of the trillion dollar palace will always show the audacity of a thousant apes as well as the rest of the leadership of the new ottomaniac empire chalifate…. audacity which they aquired from the modern genocides and islamic slaughter in syria and iraq by the modern mameluks mercenenaries they hired for it, as much as in europe africa and everywhere else in the world where they began slaughtering people in terrorist attacks…. the sultan funds all the mosques of the west already for ten years, and has made an aggreement with pakistan to aquire nuclear warheads for its national manufactured missiles… if someone is responsible its those who allowed the ottomaniac empire chalifate to move forward in this way, its german and not only islamolusting leaderships….

CogitoErgoSum says
I dream of the day when the building of mosques will be forbidden all across Europe and that anyone claiming to be a Muslim will be made to pay a special tax if they even enter any already existing mosque and that all repairs on the existing mosques will be forbidden and that when those mosques reach the point of being unsafe for use they will be razed to the ground. That is my dream of what would happen in a just world. And Erdogan can go pound sand.

That sounds familiar–isn’t that dhimmitude?

They make the claim that they have a “rule” like Christianity does…”Do unto others as you wish them to do to you.”
How much would they enjoy the treatment they so readily dish out to everyone else? What goes around comes around, or as the Bible says, “You reap what you sow.”
Infidel says
Graven, on this site, I suggested this years ago. Take the quran and sunnah, transpose every mention of muslim and infidel, and then do whatever the end result recommended. Start a new religion – I suggested the name Malsi (islam backwards) for this new religion – and suggested spreading it
Here is how it would work. Any person – Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Shinto, Daoist, Rastafarian, Agnostic, Atheist – would still continue to believe what they normally believe, but in addition to that, they’d believe in the Naruq and Hannus theologies laid out above (again, those words backwards).. The sole purpose of Malsi would be to persecute muslims until no religion is for allah (8:39 of Naruq)… You get the idea
We’ll claim to the world that it is a religion, in the same way that islam is. Doubting Thomases are welcome to object, but they’ll have to give a logical reason why! And no, the fact that islam was founded 1400 years ago is not an excuse
gravenimage says
Infidel–with all respect–I don’t think many Infidels want to embraces the horrors of Islam.
Those who do just convert to the creed of blood and death.

Hugh Fitzgerald says
Go home. Leave. Scramez-vous. Back to the Middle East, Back to North Africa, Back to Turkey. Back to Pakistan. You weren’t wanted in the first place. No one invited you. You have settled deep within Dar al-Harb, behind what you were taught to regard as enemy lines. You have been nothing but trouble.You have cost the taxpayers of Europe hundreds of billions of dollars, by taking advantage of every possible benefit the generous welfare states of Europe provide: housing, medical care, eduction, family allowances…You have filled the prisons. You have filled the unemployment rolls. You have made many pars of Europe’s cities dangerous, for single women, for Jewish people, for the representatives of the state such as police and firemen.The large-scale presence of Muslims in Europe has brought about a situation that, for the indigenous Europeans and for other, non-Muslim migrants, is more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence..

Infidel: What is the point of keeping something that is useless? Muslims are a drain on society, and should be thoroughly flushed out!
I wonder whether Turdagain has ever asked himself why people don’t like muslims. Food for thought.
Islam is getting the feeling that it is unloved and unwanted. No surprise there then!
Infidel says
Please tell me that ‘keeping something that is useless’ was a reference to muslims, and not to Hugh’s quote that I cited above?
tim gallagher says
Very well said, Hugh. I look at Muslims, compared to, say, Buddhist, Christian and other migrants, and Muslims are always, without fail, far, far more trouble than any other group of migrants. It is the case in Australia, where I live, and in every other country i look at. I honestly can’t understand why every political leader and almost every average member of the population of every country (because, let’s face it, some people will never wake up) hasn’t woken up to this yet and shut the door on any more Muslim migration.
David says
Hugh, This is an incredible statement! If you don’t mind I will add it to my collection.

Yes and 8000 Muslims just arrived to this Muslim open air prison from Morocco in Spain
john smith says
If it is grim for anyone in Europe it’s the Europeans themselves, particularly the Jewish communities. This is solely due to the on going muslim invasions of our lands.
tim gallagher says
I agree with the other commenters here. This problem that this evil piece of crap, Erdogan, mentions is very easily fixed. All these Muslim “prisoners” should piss off back to the barbaric Muslim sewers they came out of to invade Europe. That would improve all the countries of Europe enormously. I do hope that the Muslim invaders do listen to their big time, megalomaniac leader, Erdogan, and clear out and leave the civilised countries of Europe alone. It is about time these barbarians did leave. They would not be missed one little bit.

If this were true, why wouldn’t Muslims be fleeing Europe–instead of invading in large numbers? Just claptrap.
somehistory says
“disregard for Muslims’ religious values under the pretext of the freedom of expression,”
“Disregard” is not strong enough. How about utter condemnation for the “religious”…there is no value in islam…just a bunch of “feelings,” that produce evil actions?
And what this ugly mozlum creep will never understand is “Freedom of expression” was given to humankind by our Creator. It isn’t just a whim, or an idea that some imperfect person thought up some time in the past. It is a Gift from our Creator…we are “endowed” with it.
It is way, way, more important than what the mass-murdering, raper of children, sex-mad slave trading thief, filthy sack of slug dung, lying son of satan the devil thought up and demanded for his own personal aggrandizement.
The Gift of Freedom of speech/expression is worth uncountable pearls, while what mozlums consider important is worth absolutely nothing…and is filthy evil, straight from satan the devil.

Well, he could be right. Remember prisoners get free food, healthcare and accommodation, just like muslim immigrants.
notnolib says
The Babylon Bee explains it this way. The problem is that even tho’ muslims are commanded to and willing to and looking forward to killing Jews, the Jews are causing the problem by wanting to not be killed. This is what he’s complaining about. The religious freedom of muslims to murder infidels.

Erdogan is a megalomaniac. Muslims are the most hypocritical of humans. Detest the Western countries & their Peoples, yet they flood to them in droves! Back in the 1970’s-’80’s, they came to the West to get away from the cr*p in their original countries & now the cr*p has caught up with them! Trouble is they’re siding with the Cr*ppists! Not speaking out against it.

Ben Kennedy says
What the mohammadians suffer from is “alethophobia” (noun) and the mental illness has found a perfect host in the Democratic Party, which has been predisposed for decades to lying. A cursory look at how they use the word “islamophobia” proves they suffer from “alethophobia” and are using their new word developed in the last 25-years to cover their own mental illness. Those who do not suffer from the so-called liberalism (lipstick on a pig) are accused by both the mohammadians and Democrats because the normal minds are simply reacting with one of the only two basic animal instincts when attacked; it is Fight or Flight. Either reaction is called Islamaphobia.
