Turkish Islamic scholar says Erdogan opponents ‘must be killed’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Netherlands announced it would open an investigation into statements made by an Islamic Ottoman Turkish academic, loyal to President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... 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 which he said, "opponents rebelling against Ottoman Turkish authorities must be killed."

Ahmet Akgunduz, head of the Islamic University of Rotterdam in Netherlands,
...a colonist making clear to all that the Netherlands have been colonized...
had also stated that "enemies of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
(supporters of Fethullah Gülen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
) should be sentenced to death, even if they were pious," during a telephone interview with Ottoman Turkish news channel Akit TV, according to Ottoman Turkish newspaper Zaman.

Akgunduz also cited a Koranic verse asserting that it is permissible to kill enemies of the state.

He added, "what Fethullah Gulen and his movement did on July 15 is an insurgency in the state, therefore they are aggressors according to Islamic Sharia."

Dutch Education Minister Ingrid van Engelshoven had threatened to withdraw the accreditation of the university that Akgunduz heads. "These are frightening remarks. We are going to have a special committee in order to make what he said clear and to decide how we should comment, but we must wait for the results of the committee’s findings first," she said.
Did he say it? If yes, his school clearly needs accreditation yanked immediately — no need for special or even general committees, nor decisions on how to comment. Prince William of Orange would be appalled at the suggestion.
Zaman newspaper had also said that "Ahmet Akgunduz did not mention the arrests and displacement of more than 60,000 people in Turkey, including women and kiddies, as well as the confiscation of people’s property and companies and media organizations with the absence of legal evidence" under the guise of "suspicion in participating in the failed coup" that Ankara accuses Gulen of heading.

This is not the first time that Akgunduz had stirred up controversy, as he had recently insulted critics of Erdogan and had called Kurds "dogs".
Geert Wilders has been put on trial multiple times for considerably less. As ‘tis said: Find out who you cannot criticize, for they are your rulers.
