As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to persecute Christians in his own country, he’s busy claiming that Muslims are being victimized by the so-called “far right” in the West.
It has apparently never occurred to Erdogan that the ubiquitous threat of jihad, the massive slaughter of Christians globally for the goal of establishing a global caliphate, and the jihadist impulse to obliterate the world’s only Jewish state, Israel, might warrant criticism of Islam. He stated:
“We clearly know that this new racism against Muslims is actually a hostility against Islam despite the efforts by Western societies to soften it by calling ‘Islamophobia,'”
Mere criticism of Islam constitutes “islamophobia” for Erdogan, as well as for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in keeping with Islamic blasphemy laws.
Despite the rise of antisemitism, as Jews are targeted randomly in Europe and the US after Hamas rocket attacks targeted Israel’s civilian population, Erdogan also stated that “those who once targeted the Jewish community now have turned Muslims into the main target.”
Erdogan’s goal is consistent with that of the Islamic State and every jihadist group: to establish a global caliphate, by whatever means. He is increasingly open about his own determination to revive the Ottoman empire.
“West openly embraces Islamophobic, far-right movements: Erdoğan,” Daily Sabah, May 25, 2021:
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Tuesday warned against the rise of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment in Western countries as he said states are now openly embracing far-right and Islamophobic political movements and anti-Muslim policies.
Speaking at the International Symposium on Media and Islamophobia in the capital Ankara, Erdoğan stated that Islamophobia has become a serious concern as Western states fail to take action against it.
“Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment have been spreading like cancer cells in many parts of the globe, primarily in the West,” the president said, adding that far-right groups once considered radical and marginal have now become mainstream political movements in western countries.
“Instead of discussing the dimensions of the Western threat, those who fall under the influence of racist and discriminatory trends take the easy way out,” he underlined.
Racist attacks targeting Muslims or immigrants increasingly make the headlines as white supremacists become more efficient in an age where their ideals, or at least parts of them, are going mainstream. There is no single large group orchestrating these attacks against Muslims and immigrants. Rather, individual attacks lead to more copycat attacks. The tolerant political climate under the pretext of freedom of speech has helped far-right sympathizers with violent tendencies expand their support.
Erdoğan said that those who once targeted the Jewish community now have turned Muslims into the main target.
“We clearly know that this new racism against Muslims is actually a hostility against Islam despite the efforts by Western societies to soften it by calling ‘Islamophobia,'” he said.
“The U.S. administration’s strategy to demonize Muslims post-9/11 has served as a means to further trigger anti-Muslim sentiment that already existed in the cultural structure of many Western societies,” he also underlined.
Erdoğan continued by urging all countries and societies to join forces and establish a strong communication network against the rising threat.
“Efforts to prevent Islamophobia, which play an important role in peace and security of the whole of humanity, should be carried out through common sense mechanisms that should be set up.”
“We need to mobilize all politicians, intellectuals and media workers with a conscience and our own religious officials against the threat of Islamophobia,” Erdoğan said.
He noted that efforts against Islamophobia need to be conducted by joint mechanisms to ensure peace and security for all….

This potty mouth and his comrades from Malaysia and Pakistan are maestros at playing the victim when they’re, in fact, the biggest aggressors.
St. Croix says
But you notice, he always will say it’s for the “peace and security of all” because he is setting things up by stirring the pot of aggression, uprising and unrest all over the Middle East, so that he can then move in with his war machine and allies, such as Pakistan and Malaysia and some others, to “ensure the peace and security of all.” At that point, he will be the peace keeper, and from that stance, he is well-positioned to strike. At Israel, at Mecca, at Egypt…those places on his list that don’t agree with his glorious caliphate, the Ottoman Empire brought back to life, revived! He doesn’t care if some of them are Muslim. Any Muslim who doesn’t go along with the Caliphate is considered an apostate by these zealots.
The Ottoman Empire. The original Islamic State. Of course he supports jihadis all over, literally supplying them with arms and information, and a place to come to and hide out, move weaponry through, and so on. Such a terrible hypocrite and a liar, it’s so obvious. How is he still in NATO? How is he considered an ally to any Western nation?
He’s got a devious plan. Turkey will be the Reich if he has his way.
Mohini says
Agreed.

Erdogan is engaging in Whine Jihad. How many Muslims have been rounded up and placed in concentration camps? How many have been put to death simply for being a Muslim. Comparing the treatment of Muslims to that endured by Jews is odious.
wpm says
Erdogan if Europe is a bad place for Moslems why are they all in a rush to get there? Erdogan will not say one word against the Chinese were they are really killing off their Moslem population in camps .I guess he wants to be on their good side to buy weapons ,or side with them when they start a world war?

Muslims–including Erdogan–*hate* Jews. But they are happy to claim that there is a Holocaust against Muslims–never mind that this is uttrerly false.

This man is almost a caricature of himself. He probably can’t remember the last time he told the truth and becomes enraged when questioned. Otherwise has at least has no redeeming qualities.
Infidel says
Which year’s news is he following? The bulk of the news from last week has been about Jews in Europe and America being assaulted. Not mohammedans
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Erdogan sees all news through a devout muslim’s lens…
But you knew that already…
gravenimage says
Yep.
St. Croix says
It’s his propaganda machine. Not just his, I note. Just keep spewing out the lies again and again. Seems to be working, just like it worked for the other Hitler.
People are so afraid of being called “Islamophobic” whole police forces turn a blind eye as thousands of young girls are raped over years by Muslim rape gangs. So afraid of being called “Islamophobic” they stand slient while Jews are attacked in our streets. Reminds one of Nazi Germany doesn’t it?
Just keep that ol’ propaganda machine cranking it out. Erdogan. And eventually the peoples you want to conquer will have done most of the work for you.
Crusades Were Right says
The Sultan of Genocidistan parroting the “woke” agenda of the Western leftists, and ignoring the obvious truth: the most persecuted religious community in the world is…
…CHRISTIANS!
And Mohammedans – including HIM – are very often their persecutors.

“Al taqiyya for a ride, kafirs!”
Fred van de Bunt says
The basic idea was that Turkey would become full member of the European Union.
But when the very religious Erdogan came to power, Turkey started to Islamise and chance.
One particular you might have noticed with people with Erdogan’s religious denomination, that is that they lead and command and if they in any way meet the smallest resistance from you, they will overwhelm you with accusations and tell you that they are 1.8 billion strong.
It took European leaders long time to figure out what was going on under Erdogan’s leadership: Turkey would not become part of the European Union, but under Erdogan’s leadership Europe would become part of Turkey.
So the European leaders stopped the idea of becoming part of Turkey, for which Erdogan gave them no permission of course, and the Turkish leader of 1.8 billion is now overwhelming Europe’s leaders with accusations.
Infidel says
When Turkey was a Kemalist quasi-democracy w/ the military keeping a close eye on things, their establishment desperately wanted to be integrated into Europe, and the EU. And the EU balked, not due to islam, but due to the military oversight over their democracy
Once that was gone, Turks elected Erdogan, and he changed that country’s vision from a Eurocentric one to an Islamocentric one. Today, he’s challenging the Saudis for the leadership of the ummah
The anal insistence by the EU on Turkey becoming a ‘true democracy’, which undid all the checks and balances that the Kemalists had on islamization, resulted in a Turkey that was no longer interested in becoming a part of Europe, other than to destroy it from within if possible
gravenimage says
Infidel, I don’t think you can blame Europe for Turkey re-Islamizing.
Moreover, I’m *glad* that the EU didn’t admit Turkey–things would be even worse in Europe now than they are if they had.
GreekEmpresd says
Jayell summed it up perfectly on April 7.
“Victimology is inverted supremacism—
manipulating society from underneath.”
somehistory says
I can understand the thought, and not to quibble, but “victimology” is really the study of why people become victims….actual victims. Such as, why do prostitutes become the main victims of some serial killers; or why do old people become the victims of phone scams;. Things like that.
It’s also possible for those who study all about why a person is a victim, to do research on Why do Jews or Why do Christians, get targeted more often my mozlums
. Or, in the U.K., why are little white girls more often the victim of rape as opposed to little pakistani, syrian, or the children of other “immigrants” when the perps are mozlum?
somehistory says
“By” mozlums, not “my” mozlums. I don’t have any. Thankfully!!

Since when did Islam become a race. All this time I thought it was an ideology. A vicious, disgusting ideology that believes in death an slavery for those who don’t agree.
somehistory says
Whoa, down er slug a wan.
You say that the West is . not doing what it should about the anti-moslum feelings but are trying .to soften it by calling ‘Islamophobia,’”?
Oh, erdo….***You**** are calling it that. You must be “trying to soften it”.
And as others have pointed out, it isn’t the mozlums…anywhere…that are being ‘targeted”…but it is the Jews and Christians who are being persecuted…and many murdered by your brethren.
It’s difficult to like someone when they are threatening to slit your throat. It’s even more difficult to like that one when he is slitting your throat. Or raping your daughter; or driving over you with his suv; or lying about you to the police in order to have you arrested and then to sue you for big bucks; or burning down your place of meeting for worship; or sending your neighbors to burn down your home, or shoot you through a window; or coming at you in a mob to hang you high
If you want your brethren, those other snakes in human form, to be welcomed….tell them to stop the raping, stealing, lying, murdering, and if they will just stop forcing their dirty bodies into other countries….you can keep them all in Turkey…then it will be easier not to even think about mozlums. Out of sight, out of mind.
Oh, wait, erdo…you are the one that is ***out of your filthy mind.****
somehistory says
“to ensure peace and security for all….” “all” mozlums is what he means.
The Apostle Paul wrote under Divine inspiration: “Whenever it is that they are saying “‘Peace and Security,'” then sudden destruction will be instantly upon them, just as the pangs of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will, by no means, escape.”
St. Croix says
Oh he’s a first rate con all right. Peace and security for all–my eyeball. The Islamic style peace for all. Just be a Muslim, everybody! They you can’t be enslaved! Europeans have forgotten the depredations of the Muslim slavers mere centuries ago, so bad that most of the coastal towns were deserted. People moved inland to escape the Muslim pirates coming in for more slaves.
One Arab writer noted that some were advised in Africa not to be too quick to convert the Africans of the West coast areas–because then they couldn’t take them as slaves. No Muslim is allowed to own another Muslim, or sell one. Much of the African slave trade was carried out by those who started it, Arab and North African Islamists. Some people seem to think the U.S. started it all. How I wish history was a bit more “diverse” and “inclusive” so as to include some of what really happened back in the day! But who knows history now? Who studies it? Before our eyes, it’s all being rewritten. Soon we won’t be able to find the facts even if we look for them, at this rate. Only the scrubbed version will survive.
Am I all pessimistic? I can just see the way things are headed. Just look at what’s being erased and destroyed and what’s being promoted and massaged by the media and most of those in positions of authority in the institutions. It’s not hard to see the path we’re on. C’mon man!
Eleanor says
If all Muslims removed themselves from those European countries where they do not belong in the first instance, there would not be a problem, Mr Erdogan.
Hank says
Erdogan himself now opened the bag of Islamophobia by turning the Church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople into a Mosque.
He could ask himself: How does Erdogan get to stand on Byzantine land and occupy Byzantine provinces without targeting the non-Muslim populations that lived there well before Islam was invented? Greeks, Italians, Armenians used to live there. The Orthodox Church was also kicked out of the area.
He should lead and be a good example and vacate occupied Byzantine lands and head back to Central Asia.
Don Ameche says
Great Comment! Agree 100%
Don Ameche says
The Nazis were socialists. It was the Left who targeted the Jews. National Socialists. And it seems muslims have carte blanche in Europe today, at the expense of European culture and European citizens.

Keep telling the lie often enough and people start to believe it. Erdogan a world dictator in waiting.
