Obama’s “Favorite, Must Trusted Ally”: Erdogan’s War Goes Jihad, Kills Freedom Supporters

7

Obama's favorite, most trusted ally is killing his own people who merely want the rights that are theirs under Ataturk. But Erdogan is a devout Muslim, and freedom is anathema under Islamic rule.
Does Obama denounce Erdogan's crushing putdown of demonstrations in support of Freedom?

Erdogan's war: “The attack with rubber bullets, intense tear gas and
stun grenades at a moment when there were a lot of women, kids and
elderly people were at the park is a crime against humanity.

"More than five people have been killed by police and 10 people have
lost an eye after being hit by plastic bullets since the protest
movement began three weeks ago over a plan to redevelop Gezi Park. The
violent response by police resulted in much larger demonstrations
against police violence."

Is Erdogan worried about pressure from the philo-jihadist in the White House? Is Morsi? Ahmadinejad? Rowhani? Mashal? Abbas?

"Erdogan Goes to War; Police Wound Hundreds, Attack Drivers"

Erdogan
goes berserk. One hour after delivering an ultimatum to protesters to
leave Taksim Square, police attacked them with rubber bullets and tear
gas, injuring drivers as well.

Turkish police went to war against protesters Saturday night, using
rubber bullets and tear gas to clear thousands from Taksim Square and
on pedestrians trying to cross a foot bridge, where drivers also
suffered the effects of the gas.

Hundreds of people, including motorists, were injured, while official
government statements claimed the number of wounded was 44.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had issued an ultimatum
to the protesters to leave Taksim Square in favor of a pro-Erdogan rally
scheduled for Sunday.

One hour later, police, backed by armored vehicles, raided the square
and attacked pedestrians before they could cross a foot bridge leading
to the square.

Turkey’s European Union minister Egemen Bağış said in a televised
interview that anyone trying to enter Taksim Square will be treated like
a “terrorist.”

He lived up to his word.

“We tried to flee and the police pursued us. It was like war,
Claudia Roth, a German politician who was on the scene to show her
support for the protesters, told Reuters. “There are dozens of
injured shot with rubber bullets or who couldn’t go to the hospital,”
according to the Taksim Solidarity Platform that represents the Gezi
Park protesters.

In a statement quoted by Turkey’s Hurriyet News, the
Platform added, “The attack with rubber bullets, intense tear gas and
stun grenades at a moment when there were a lot of women, kids and
elderly people were at the park is a crime against humanity.

“This attack that took place at a moment when there was no
demonstration at the park shows that the prime minister’s intention is
to increase the social polarization and satisfy his ambition of
authority by oppressing his people.”

The Platform and Erdogan struck a compromise Thursday night whereby
development plans for Gezi Park would be altered. Erdogan apparently has
used the agreement as a signal, or excuse, to clear the protesters and
stage his own pro-government rally Sunday.

“We have our Istanbul rally tomorrow. I say it clearly: Taksim Square
must be evacuated, otherwise this country’s security forces know how to
evacuate it,” Erdogan told supporters in Ankara on Saturday.

Hurriyet quoted sources last week that the Israel’s Mossad
boss met with Turkish intelligence officials and that Syria  and/or Iran
may be behind the protest movement.

Regardless, Erdogan’s heavy-handed response has only made the protest
movement more popular, as has happened in every other Muslim country
where brute force has been used to quell protests.

Erdogan, like other leaders of Muslim regimes, cast Twitter and
social networks as the villain. He said Twitter was begin used to
slander the government and therefore should not be allowed.

However, it was Turkish President Abdullah Gul who took to Twitter
Saturday, saying that “everyone should return home now,” and that “the
channels for discussion and dialogue” are open.

More than five people have been killed by police and 10 people have
lost an eye after being hit by plastic bullets since the protest
movement began three weeks ago over a plan to redevelop Gezi Park. The
violent response by police resulted in much larger demonstrations
against police violence.

And now the mask is completely off – the true, ugly, evil face of Islam and Erdogan becomes visible. Unless one is “progressive”, of course.
What a wonderful addition to the EU this country will make! The enrichment is, as always, breathtaking.

Arm these freedom-fighters, that is the only way. Being cannon-fodder is not going to work. Iran’s true freedom revolution failed because the fascist psycho-thugs have all the bombs and guns.
You don’t take a military force head on. You have to use guerrilla warfare tactics until you are strong enough to fight directly.
So sad that Europe is run by leftist pussies and America is run by an enemy-sympathizer. The people are largely defenseless and helpless against the Erdogans and Osama bin Ladens of this world.

No doubt Obama and West’s political class will continue to support Islamizing Erdogan, and his repression, and speed up the Islamization of Europe by getting 80 million Muslim Turks into the European Union.

I’m glad erdogan is getting his just desserts. But even as the turks may not like erdogan’s repressive rule over them, they are every bit the Jew-haters he is. Remember they voted for him.

Laura,
These people are just metropolitan trendies and students ie. nobody in the big picture. The majority of the electorate voted for Erdogan, as he promised more Islam, and that’s precisely what he’s delivering. So Turkey is getting what it voted for.
