TURKEY’S ERDOGAN PLAYING WITH FIRE – THE HAGIA SOPHIA STORY

127 Comments

Time and time again the New Boston Tea Party has demanded that NATO drop Turkey from the organization. Turkey is ruled by a dictator; President Erdogan is a Muslim Brotherhood stalwart – a bomb thrower, a suicide bomber, an instigator, a terrorist, anti-U.S., anti Israel and an anti-semite.

NATO looks the other way when it is to their advantage, Turkey is strategically located enabling NATO and the U.S. coalition to use Turkish airspace; Turkey needs to be fore warned that their place in history will be dictated by their actions against the NATO countries and their diplomatic transgressions. For instance their sending weapons to the Palestinians aboard the MV Mavi Marmara. Israel intercepted the MV in international waters during its voyage to Gaza. Fighting erupted and 9 members on the MV were killed.

The Israeli government-appointed Turkel Commission unveiled its final report on January 2011, and found both the blockade and the force used by the Israeli soldiers to be legal. A Polish authority on admiralty law, Professor Andrzej Makowski of the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia, also upheld this view in an extensive article in the Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs in May 2013. Bottom line here is that Turkey is a provocateur.

In the latest act of incitement Erdogan spews from his rabid mouth that Israel is “playing with fire” concerning their actions on the Temple Mount.  However, Erdogan fails to mention the real crime against humanity is the actions regarding the Hagia Sophia. Once the center of Eastern Christendom, Constantinople competed with Rome.

From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as a Greek Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.Hagia Sophia Mars 2013.jpg

In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who ordered this main church of Orthodox Christianity converted into a mosque. By that point, the church had fallen into a state of disrepair. Nevertheless, the Christian cathedral made a strong impression on the new Ottoman rulers and they decided to convert it into a mosque.[9][10] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels and other relics were removed and the mosaicsdepicting Jesus, his Mother Mary, Christian saints and angels were also removed or plastered over. Islamic features—such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets—were added. It remained a mosque until 1931, when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey. Hagia Sophia is currently (2014) the second-most visited museum in Turkey, attracting almost 3.3 million visitors annually.

Before the world pays attention to this Turkish imbecile they must demand that the Hagia Sophia be restored to its rightful place in history. It is noteworthy to remind those Christians that Turkey once 100% Christian is now outnumbered by Muslims, 80,000,000 to less than 200,000. this is a manifestation of the treatment Christians receive in the Muslim world.

 

TURKEY SHOOT

2 Comments

No we are not talking about bagging a bird for Thanksgiving, we are talking about culling Turkey from the NATO herd. So let’s talk Turkey. The Kurds are Turkey’s biggest problem, a thorn in their site poking away for more than a century. The Turkish War of Independence (1919–22), initiated by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues in Anatolia, resulted in the establishment of the modern Republic of Turkey in 1923. 

From Wikipedia: The country’s official language is Turkish, a Turkic language spoken natively by approximately 85 percent of the population. 70–75 percent of the population are ethnic Turks; the largest minority are the Kurds at roughly 20%, with the remainder consisting of Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Circassians, Arabs, Albanians, Bosniaks, Georgians, and others.

In the latter half of the 11th century, the Seljuk Turks began penetrating into medieval Armenia and the eastern regions ofAnatolia. In 1071, the Seljuks defeated the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert, starting the Turkification process in the area; the Turkish language and Islam were introduced to Armenia and Anatolia, gradually spreading throughout the region. Today there are more than 120,000 people of different Christian denominations, representing less than 0.2 percent of Turkey’s population. Islam is the dominant religion of Turkey with 99.8 percent of the population being registered as Muslim.

The slow transition from a predominantly Christian and Greek-speaking Anatolia to a predominantly Muslim and Turkish-speaking one was underway.[58] Alongside the Turkification of the territory, the culturally Persianized Seljuks set the basis for a Turko-Persian principal culture in Anatolia, which their eventual successors, the Ottomans would take over.

The Kurds, a distinct ethnic group, are the largest non-Turkic ethnicity, around 18-25 percent of the population or between fifteen and twenty million. Kurds are concentrated in the east and southeast of the country, in what is also known asTurkish Kurdistan. Unlike the Turkish people, the Kurds speak an Indo-European language. There are Kurds living in all provinces of Turkey, but are primarily concentrated in the east and southeast of the country, the region of Kurdistan. Click here for more on the Kurds.

The Kurdish people are an ethnic group whose origins are in the Middle East. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in the world that do not have a state of their own. The region of Kurdistan, the original geographic region of the Kurdish people and the home to the majority of Kurds today, covers contemporary Turkey, Iran,Iraq, and Syria. This geo-cultural region means “Land of the Kurds”. Iraqi Kurdistan is an autonomous region in northern Iraq, covering 40,643 square kilometres (15,692 sq mi) and has a population of approximately 4 million people. Kurdish populations occupy the territory in and around the Zagros mountains. These arid unwelcoming mountains have been a geographic buffer to cultural and political dominance from neighboring empires. Persians, Arabs, and Ottomans were kept away, and a space was carved out to develop Kurdish culture, language, and identity.

In a nutshell the Kurdish people are an ethnic group whose origins are in the Middle East. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in the world that do not have a state of their own. The region of Kurdistan, the original geographic region of the Kurdish people and the home to the majority of Kurds today, covers contemporary Turkey, Iran,Iraq, and Syria. This geo-cultural region means “Land of the Kurds”.

Kurdish populations occupy the territory in and around the Zagros mountains. These arid unwelcoming mountains have been a geographic buffer to cultural and political dominance from neighboring empires. Persians, Arabs, and Ottomans were kept away, and a space was carved out to develop Kurdish culture, language, and identity. Counting the Kurds in Turkey there are somewhere between twenty two to thirty million. As a comparison, the Baltic country of Lithuania has approximately three million.

Turkey became a member of NATO in 1949 to cement its ties with the United States. This provided them with a hedge against the Soviet Union. But today Turkey finds itself in a different position. With a almost 100% Muslim population Turkey does not always tow the NATO line. In fact Turkey has thumbed its nose at the Western Powers in their fight against radical Islam. Their president, the diminutive Erdogan is seeking authority to rule by fiat. This is undemocratic and will no play out well with the NATO countries. And of course Turkey is anti Israel, Erdogan is an anti-Israel. In the scheme of things it is time that Turkey get booted from NATO. The sooner the better; having a half friend is like having a no friend. NATO should cull Turkey from the herd before Turkey does more damage in our fight against ISIS, not to mention Turkey being violently against Kurdish separatists who deserve their own country. Erdogan is anti Kurd and will do any thing to stop them from breaking free from Turkish hegemony. If Turkey was not a member of NATO, the United States would arm the Kurds in their goal for independence. 

As had been said before, when the going gets tough it will be very difficult for NATO to depend on the Muslim orientated country of TURKEY. 

 

MIDDLE EAST CHRISTIANITY HAS GONE THE WAY OF THE DINOSUARS

1 Comment

So let it be said, so let it be done. Countries ruled by the Islamists have either killed or run the Christians from their historic homelands. Turkey and Iran are bereft of Christians. The interesting narrative here is that the Christian world under the leadership of the Pope turns a blind eye to the killing of their brethren. The Muslims who give solace to the remaining Christians do so as a public relations gimmick. Erdogan of Turkey is a perfect example.

Christianity in the Middle East is in a death spiral. Once the majority they soon will be non existent. Turkey, once a 100% Christian nation has only 200,000 remaining out of a population of 80,000,000. Christian Europe, the appeaser of appeasers, stand by while their people are murdered by today’s Muslim Mongols. This is a battle of culture; peace on one side, mass murder on the other. When will they learn that there is no compromise in accommodating a religion of destruction, killing and rape.

A HUMILIATING DEFEAT FOR ERDOGAN -TURKEY TO NY TIMES “YOU ARE OVERSTEPPING THE LIMITS OF FREEDOM” UPDATE

5 Comments

Ergodan’s party suffers a humiliating defeat. The pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) was on track to take more than 12 percent of the vote, according to CNN Turk. The prospect of it clearing the threshold to enter parliament for the first time triggered celebrations in the mostly Kurdish southeast.

The diminutive Turkish dictator with a Napoleon complex. 

With legislative elections fast approaching in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at foreign media on Saturday, calling on the Guardian to be aware of its limits and accusing the New York Times of being represented by “Jewish capital,” according to AFP.

Erdogan has repeatedly – in the shadow of pending elections – criticized foreign media outlets which expressed concern over the corrosion of freedom of expression in Turkey.

The Guardian criticized his rule in an article highlighting the threat of “Growing autocracy” in “a crucial country;” The New York Times followed suit, writing about “dark clouds” looming over Turkey, and satirizing the Turkish leader with the comical tweet: “Which leader has a 1,150-room palace more than 30x the size of the White House?”

At a political rally in Ardahan Province, Erdogan called the Guardian “impertinent,” and told them to “know their limits”.

He then accused the New York Times of campaigning against Turkey’s leader since the final days of the Ottoman Empire, and accused “Jewish capital” of being patrons to the publication.

Elections in the Middle Eastern nation are set to take place on Sunday.

 

Erdogan, the diminutive dictator of Turkey is in a fit of rage; basically telling the anti Israel biased NY Times to shut up. Wow, when you get pissed off at the corporate inksters, who in most cases take your position, then you know times are tough. Erdogan is on the way out according to the Times, his ratings are down going into this weeks election. Although Erdogan’s AKP party is expected to remain in power its majority is eroding quickly due to the weak economy. This will prevent him from pushing through dictatorial measures which will give the president a leg up on the Prime Minister.

THE ISIS STATE – TURKEY

Turkey once had high hopes of joining the EU, but now those hopes have disappeared in wake of the Paris attacks. Turkey is a member of NATO which by itself is hard to understand how this ever came to pass.  A country bent on the destruction of Western Civilization, its most important targets are Israel and the United States. The EU learned a long time ago that Turkey would never accede to the demands necessary to become a member of the Europe community; democracy is anathema to their culture.  Erdogan is still adamant that the Israeli’s stymied his his plans to send weapons to Hamas on the Mavi Marmara Trojan Horse.

The criminal has taken the country on the road to Jihad, Recip Erdogan,  harbors terrorists – giving them sanctuary,  a diminutive authoritarian with a Napolean mindset, he supports worldwide Jihad, a blood brother of the Muslim Brotherhood who continues to blame the rest of the world for mass murder at the same time the Islamists are butchering millions of their fellow Muslim brothers with impunity. Apparently Muslim blood is an after thought on the road to a world caliphate.

First of all the New Boston Tea Party does not pull punches, Erdogan is  more than Turkish scum he is a leader of the Jihadists movement, a supporter of Hammas, ISIS, al Qaeda and the Taliban, not to mention Iran’s Ayatollah.  Recip Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly bizarre rhetoric continued this week when he told reporters Muslims have “never taken part in terrorist massacres” and appeared to blame the West for the recent Islamist attacks in Paris.

 

A THREAT FROM A FIRST RATE JIHADIST – ERDOGAN OF TURKEY

88 Comments

NATO must act, Europe must act, they cannot let this threat to go without any repercussions. Erdogan of Turkey, a violent Jihadist, is intent on applying Sharia law throughout his domain. With his newest threat that those who criticize Turkey must eradicate Islamic racism. World leaders of Christian nations must act now; it is time for them to take pointed action. He plays the blame game, blaming the United States for all that ales him.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan slammed European countries on Friday for criticizing deteriorating press freedom in Turkey and said they should instead try to find a solution for what he said was increasing Islamophobia in the continent.

Did we hear that right; Islamophobia? This trouble maker is presently digging his own grave, one shovel at a time. Christiandom cannot wait for him to fall on his own knife and tumble into the hole he dug. The majority of Turks are worried by his actions; squashing freedom of speech and press; tactics used by Nazi king pin Joseph Goebbels.

Turkish police earlier this month raided media outlets close to US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan accuses of forming a ‘parallel state’ to undermine his rule and orchestrating a graft scandal targeting his inner circle.

CHRISTIANS BURNED AT THE STAKE – A NUN SPEAKS OUT

Nun Pleads for Christians Raped, Sold, Killed by ISIS

Leo Hohmann, WND, December 23, 2014

It is the season of “peace on Earth,” but Sister Hatune Dogan has a chill in her spirit that could be felt only in a time of war.

The Orthodox Christian nun feels it with each new atrocity committed against the Yazidi and Christian minorities of Syria and Iraq. She feels it in the church burnings across Egypt and the slaughter of innocent children in Pakistan.

For this reason she brought a word of warning to Americans in a visit last week to Minnesota, where she spoke to several church groups.

Today’s political climate draws her back to 1915 and her native Turkey, when her family experienced the cruelty of the Ottoman caliphate, which slaughtered 3 million Christians and reduced others to second-class status under subjugation, or “dhimmitude.”

ISIS is nothing new, she said, just the re-emergence of Islam’s dark side.

“ISIS is not fanatic. ISIS is not more terrible. ISIS is real Muslim believers who like to follow the Quran and Muhammad,” said the founder of Warburg, Germany-based Sister Hatune Foundation, a worldwide relief organization that has been honored by the German government for its dedication to human rights. “Others say they are Muslim. They say they believe Quran, but they don’t follow it.”

Armenian Christians accounted for about half of the 3 million victims in Turkey, but the other half were Christians of various ethnic backgrounds–Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox and Protestants. All felt the boot of jihad against their heads.

{snip}

She believes Christians in the West should learn what is written in the Muslim holy book. If they did, they would realize that the Islamic State, also called ISIS, is not doing anything that hasn’t been done in the past by devout Muslims who have conquered a people they see as “infidels.”

Sister Hatune in India

Where are all the Christians?

Sister Hatune points to the fact that 96 percent of the people who populated the Middle East at the turn of the eighth century were Christian. Now, that Christian population has dwindled to 6 percent. Turkey was once almost all Christian, but now it is 0.03 percent Christian. Iraq had 1 million Christians under Saddam Hussein, but now only a few thousand remain, and the churches of Baghdad will be mostly empty this Christmas.

“Where are these Christians? Where are these people? Just ask yourself,” said the fiery nun, whose native tongue is Aramaic.

{snip}

The Sister Hatune Foundation works in 35 countries with Matthew 25:34-40 as its mission statement–feeding, clothing, sheltering and providing medical care to the poor and persecuted of the world. She has been making regular trips to the Middle East since 2005, and ISIS presents a new challenge: trying to rescue orphaned children from its clutches.

Sister Hatune returned to her home convent in Germany for only a few days before she will make another trip to the Middle East to celebrate Christmas with persecuted Christians. She was with them in November when she visited refugee camps in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. She also sneaked into Syria to meet with Christians there.

{snip}

Drawing on her own family background, Sister Hatune has recently finished work on her 13th book, “I Believe in Action,” written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Christian genocide in Turkey. In this book she compares the life of Jesus to that of Muhammad, Islam’s main prophet.

“I not write from my head. All facts,” she said. “Muhammad came and he brought killing, beheading, pedophilia. He slept with a 9-year-old girl, he married when she was 6 years old. We know because she says it herself in the Hadith. In Yemen today, where Shariah is the law, they have to marry the girl before her first menstruation, maximum of age 13, because it is written.”

Sister Hatune thumbs through her Quran and finds another verse that she says leads Muslims to murder Christians in the Middle East.

“Twenty-five times in Quran it says to kill Christians because we are involved in polytheism,” she said, explaining that Muslims do not understand the concept of the Holy Trinity. “Also it says to not make friends with Christians.”

Europe is on its way to becoming the next battleground for Islam, especially Belgium and France, where Muslims make up 6 to 10 percent of the population. Sister Hatune’s adopted country of Germany is at least 4 percent Muslim and has more than 4,000 mosques.

“A mosque is not just for prayer,” the nun said. “It is to prepare to kill the unbeliever and control the world.”

In the Quran there are 97 verses against the unbeliever.

“And there are verses against the Christians who say God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, or that Jesus is the Son of God. They have to be beheaded, the head cut off from the neck; no other interpretation. This is what the Muslims are doing. Normal Muslims, who are really Muslims, have to follow this rule,” she said. “There will never be peace on Earth if these verses of the Quran are not stopped. It is in the Quran, Hadith and sunna 36,800 times, the words ‘cut,’ ‘kill’ or ‘attack.’ How can there be peace on Earth?”

The Quran also gives Muslim men permission to rape girls and women who are held captive as slaves (Sura 23:5-6).

In conquered cities, ISIS has marked the homes of Christians with a red symbol of the Nazarene. They are then visited by ISIS militants who bring unspeakable horrors upon the families.

Sister Hatune says it is justified under Sura 5:33 in the Quran, which states:

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.

Muslim apologists in the West say the verse is taken out of context by “Islamophobes,” but Sister Hatune believes otherwise.

“Those of us Christians from Middle East. We know them. We know their rules,” she said.

Today there are 57 Islamic countries living under Islamic law.

ERDOGAN’S TONTON MACOUTES WAGE WAR ON OPPOSITION – FREEDOM OF THE PRESS CHALLENGED

4 Comments

Turkish Prime Minister, Israeli hater, Muslim Terrorist, provocateur and most of all a Islamic Jihadist has violently seized the opposition offices of political rival Gulen. Turkish police have made at least 23 arrests during raids on a newspaper and TV station with close ties to US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen. Mr Gulen, the spiritual leader of the Hizmet movement, is a rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Among those arrested are journalists, producers, scriptwriters and a police chief in eastern Turkey.

 

Police attempted to raid the offices of the Zaman newspaper, one of Turkey’s biggest, early on Sunday morning, but a crowd of protesters forced police to turn back before they could make arrests.

About time this NATO Member Thug be thrown out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

TIME TO THROW TURKEY OUT OF NATO

4 Comments

The Europeans has it right so far, rejecting Turkey’s entrance into the European Union (EU). What sets Europe apart from Turkey is their Islamic identity while Europe on the whole is Christian.  And don’t forget that Turkey, mainly consisting of an Asian people, was an invading country under the Ottamans; Greece, Bosnia and Spain fell in their wake. That brings us to Turkey today. A NATO member under the iron hand of Islamist Erdogan who has no trouble stirring the pot of racism, blaming others for his faults.

Case in point, the Kurds who have been clamoring for their own country without success. Turkey is adamant that the Kurds are Turks and not minorities, therefore by acquiescing to their demand would open the floodgates for others. That is a self serving argument. And with ISIS one mile from the Turkish border on the ready to massacre the Kurds in Kobane, Syria, Erdogan says let them die, we will not help with their defense.

Regarding the recent Israeli pummeling of Hamas in Gaza (a Turkey benefactor), Turkey and its Siamese twins of Bashar Assad’s Syria, Iran and Qatar; countries aligned with the calaphate of ISIS faced off against Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan and the Emerites. And so the West waits, not patiently, to see if President, chicken little, Obama will have the moral,  physical and mental courage to do what is right.  Will Chuck Hagel listen to our commanders who say that boots on the ground are needed to do the job.

Bottom line, Europe has it right. Turkey is run by an Islamic Fascist; there is no room for this dictator in a free world. NATO must give him the boot he deserves, back to the stone age.
