Reuters is reporting that Turkey’s parliament speaker Ismail Kahraman said late on Monday that overwhelmingly Muslim Turkey needed a religious constitution, a proposal that contradicts the modern republic’s founding principles. He later said that his comments were “personal views” and that the new constitution should guarantee religious freedoms.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is notorious for pursuing opposition journalists, artists and politicians at home. Recently he has moved to punish them outside his borders, often with acquiescence from European allies. (source)
Now he wishes to all but erase Ataturk, the man who defines modern Turkey. The man who separated mosque and state. The man responsible for the success of modern Turkey. What other Muslim country living under Islamic rule is considered a successful modern state?

President Obama considers Erdogan his most trusted and favorite foreign leader. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is criminalizing criticism of or even joking about Erdogan (read here and here and here). And Turkish is now to be an official languageof the EU.
Read this plaintive cry from a Turkish follower of my work: “If that miserable tyrant and his cohorts have their way my country will become another Syria and both my country and the people who are still loyal to the founder of our nation Atatürk and his principles doesn’t deserve such fate.”
Greetings Mrs. Geller,
As a Turkish follower of your page there is a matter I would like you to address to your rest of your followers around the world. it is of utmost importance and about my homeland and the dire state it is currently in.
Let me translate and summarize it as much as I can:
In the article given above head of the Turkish national assembly Ismail Karaman declared that secularism (which is one of my country’s founding principles that kept this country from falling apart) will not have a place in the new constitution justice and development party is working on during his speech at the Istanbul university. Backlash was so colossal that there were several pro secularist and nationalist NGO’s have taken to the streets in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir to protest this statement which has been brutally crushed by the Turkish police as usual as in chasing and beating on people they were supposed to protect by calling them “bastards of Atatürk”
You can find the pictures of the incidents in this link below
In the face of growing backlash Ismail Karaman backtracked and defended himself by saying he was just “expressing his freedom of speech” a statement which was supported by both the akp members and Tayyip Erdoğan
We are at our breaking point. If that miserable tyrant and his cohorts have their way my country will become another Syria and both my country and the people who are still loyal to the founder of our nation Atatürk and his principles doesn’t deserve such fate. As i have asked you before i’d like you to be our voice in this matter. let the world know that we are fighting and suffering for getting our republic from the hands of this islamic maniac before all is lost

I doubt we will see any of the people in these photo’s again. These people will most likely be the next wave of political refugees who will be not wanted in the next islamic state.
After WWII there was a severe shortage of factory workers in Germany. Turkish aliens were brought in to fill these positions and Germany and Turkey have been economically joined at the hip ever since. While this relationship helped Germany after the war it is now destroying the country culturally. The Turks are a problem in terms of crime everywhere they go. They typically hang in packs and love to intimidate the locals. Here is what you will typically see in any large German city…
.
Why were laborers not brought in from poorer countries in Europe? Is there any truth to the story that the US compelled Germany to take Turks?

The Pass this on to the right people. check it for yourselves. Recently (admittedly I haven’t nailed the date) the Muslims secretly changed Sharia law. Source ‘Reliance of the traveler’ revised edition. They have abrogated irreversibly Christianity & Judaism to Infidel status. Furthermore any cleric/believer that disagrees is apostasised & killed. Discussion and consideration on the matter are equally forbidden with the same punishment. Making it irreversible. It goes on to OBLIGATE the killing of all non Muslims. Quote “obligatory to obey. Not lawful to disobey.”
It explains that this was written in English “so there can be no misunderstanding”. And the whole thing is underscored with this to show its importance. “On this matter there is no disagreement amongst Islamic scholars”. O that 56 Islamic countries & Palestine signed up to it. I have questioned many Muslims on this subject and they have all refused discussion and employed subject.change strategy.
With millions of young military aged Muslims pouring into the EU from countries we have recently destroyed I would suggest this is taken extremely i

This isn’t second hand, this is research I have done. “It’s called reading”
Secondly this is not in the Koran it is in the “Reliance of the traveler revised edition” the de facto Manual for Sharia LAW. As for interpretations it makes it completely understandable and goes on to explain that it was written in english “so there can be no misunderstanding”. It states any cleric who disagrees is apostasised and will be killed.
Quote:- Page 846 “reliance of the traveler” revised edition
“Previously revealed religions were valid in their own eras as is attested to many verses of the Holy Koran, but were abrogated by the universal message of Islam, as is equally attested to by many verses of the Koran. Both points are worthy of attention by English-speaking Muslims, who are occasionally exposed to erroneous theories advanced by some teachers and Koran translators affirming their religion’s validity but denying or not mentioning their abrogation, or it is unbelief (kufr) to hold the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions, such as “Christianity” and “Judaism,” are acceptable to Allah Most High after He was sent the final Messenger. This is a matter over which there is no disagreement among Islamic scholars.”
Regarding the last line “This is a matter over which there is no disagreement among Islamic scholars.to explain it’s importance”
Quote:- Page 23 “reliance of the traveler” revised edition
When the four integrals of consensus exist the ruling agreed upon is an authoritative part of Sacred Law that is obligatory to obey and not lawful to disobey. Nor can Mujtahids of a succeeding era make the thing an object of new ijtihad, because the ruling on it, verified by Scholarly consensus, is an absolute ruling which does not admit of being contravened or annulled.”
Notes
Page 846 is has a blue underscore at the bottom which cannot be found on any other pages??? Can be found in every revised edition from multiple sources
Ijtihad (Arabic: اجتهاد ijtihād, “diligence”) is an Islamic legal term that means “independent reasoning” or “the utmost effort an individual can put forth in an activity.”
A mujtahid (Arabic: مجتهد, “diligent”) is an individual who is qualified to exercise ijtihad in the evaluation of Islamic

The sooner turkey assumes the leadership role of the european union, the sooner the european caliphate will come into existence. There is very little opposition to the islamification of western europe, nothing that can’t be purged. Then, when the whole of the middle east and western europe destroy itself, a new world order minus islam can evolve.
Um, did nazism defeat nazism? If you haven’t noticed pi$$lam has spread to more continents now than it has at any time in its vile, genocidal, bloody past. They’re winning not losing.
Your half full glass is emptying fast.
No surprise here with Erdogan, continuing to undo a century of progress. Turkey is not what it used to be. While Merkel fawns, following some private waltz of her own globalist strain, her German-shpeaking shriveled lips distorting her vacant eyes into a facsimile of a smile … til Erdogan tugs her chain and she must scamper on.

Erdogan, Obama’s good buddy, has never hidden his ambitions for the restoration of the Ottoman Empire. The Speaker’s statement was probably a test to guage how the public would react and also to see who would lead any protests.

So I thought this might be of interest to both her, and some of you all.

Tens of Thousands Remember Armenian Genocide
By: Adelle Nazarian / 25 Apr 2016 / New York, NY30
Tens of thousands of Armenians gathered internationally to
commemorate the 101st anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, in which the Ottoman Empire murdered 1.5 million Armenians.
In addition to calls for reparations, there was the unrelenting desire for Turkey to recognize the atrocity that struck so many Armenians between 1915 and 1923.
———-
Similar messages were seen in Los Angeles on Sunday, where a coinciding rally took place on Wilshire Boulevard across from the Turkish Consulate.
What everyone ignores is the fact another million Assyrian Christians were killed by Turkish (and Kurdish) muslums simultaneously w/the genocide of Armenian Christians.

How long before Erdogan moves the capital back to Stamboul, revives the Sultanate, takes up residence in the Topkapi, and invites Caliph Ibrahim to the old position of the Caliphate? It looks like he’s well on the way to doing all this already, doesn’t it? Turkey just isn’t going to be the same, is it? Or, is it to be the Turkey of centuries ago?

Obama must know what is happening to Turkey so this says volumes about Obama when he persistently refers to Erdogan as his friend and close ally. Everything that is happening to Turkey considering their move toward secularism after they were smashed by western powers in WWI and now this after our demonstrable weakness absolutely buries all of the popular beliefs about compromise and appeasement.

Religious Freedom” only works in societies that recognize the difference between a legitimate religion and a Blood Cult.
Those incapable or unwilling to make the distinction are doomed to suffer at the hands of the Cultists, who constantly hide behind the Lie of “the religion of peace” while committing the most vile and depraved of carnal debasing of themselves and the societies they infest.
