Might US-Turkish relations become like Israeli-Turkish ones? |
2019-08-01 |
[Rudaw] Addressing senior Justice and Development Party (AKP) officials in Ankara on Saturday, ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... stated "Whoever is on the side of Israel, let everyone know that we are against them." The United States most definitely appears to be on the side of Israel, so does this mean that ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... stands against America? |

#4 the Turks were sort of the opposition to Wahhabism in the Sunni world. They’re the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, ruprecht. They’re in competition with the Saudis (wahhabism) and Iran (Shiism) for the role of center of the Muslim world. Turkey funds high quality education around the world with a Turkey-oriented religious twist — previously via the Gulen schools, now directly — the Saudis fund mosques, imams, and wahhabi-style Sunday school teaching materials (and, of course, jihadis), while the Mad mullahs fund local Shiite resistance groups after getting the locals excited enough to decide to start resisting. Or so it seems to me. Others may see more deeply into things. |

#2 I forget the terms but I remember the Turks were sort of the opposition to Wahhabism in the Sunni world. Did Wahhabism get af foothold in the Turk mind or did their version of Islam harden? |
