Ankara mayor suggests Gülen uses genies to ‘enslave people’
Oh my. Truly the Crazy Years have descended upon the Turks.
Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek has suggested that U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen uses genies to “enslave” people, speaking after the July 15 failed coup attempt, which the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) says the “Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ)” was behind.
"I seen 'em, wid me own eyes!"
“How can Fethullah Gülen control such a large number of people? What makes him different?” the host of a TV show on private broadcaster CNN Türk asked Gökçek, to which the Ankara mayor replied that Gülen used “genies.”

“This may sound funny to you, but he does it with a strange method. He does it with the ‘three-lettered things.’ Everyone now can debate this. He enslaves people with the ‘three-lettered things,’” Gökçek said, using a Turkish phrase to refer to the word “genie.”

“It’s obvious that a lot people have been enslaved in previous times and then were saved. He has the ability to do this too.
... he said blissfully...
People have become mesmerized and enslaved,” the Ankara mayor added.

#1 And then they wonder why people treat them like stone age barbarians who can't deal with anything more modern than the wheel barrow.
