#2 In late 2016 Ali Ertan Toprak, the leader of the Kurd community in Germany -- having very detailed information on Turkish activity in Germany -- informed Deutschlandfunk public radio that "Imams posted to [Erdogan sponsored] Ditib mosques in Germany are Turkish civil servants. ... And they are also utilized to control the Moslem communities they look after and to report critical remarks to the [Turkish] state," Toprak added, "these are Stasi methods that should not be allowed in Germany," he added, referring to the former East German intelligence service.
On December 5, 2016 in remarks to KNA in Dusseldorf, Ercan Karakoyun, the chairman of a Gulen-related education trust, claimed: "Every imam functions concurrently as an informant for Turkey."

#7 This is the first I've read of a Turkish connection to the attempt on JPII. It's always been portrayed as a lone wolf -- insane, maybe a tinge of Islamic motivation, but never connected to anything bigger.

I'll grant they may not have had Turkish government sponsorship back then, but I have little doubt they do now. Erdogan and the AKP need to go.
