Before he was forced out in a Vatican cabal, Pope Benedict XVI quoted a 14th-century dialogue between Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, and a Muslim scholar:
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”

Indeed.
The barbaric President Erdogan tried to tie the Islamic State bombing to his hoax coup plotters and even the Kurds. But the fact is Erdogan quietly aided and armed ISIS. His pro-jihad policies have come home to roost.
From celebrating a wedding to digging graves for a funeral: ISIS bomber aged just 12 who killed 51 at a marriage ceremony in Turkey ‘was blown up by REMOTE CONTROL’

ISIS suspected of carrying out attack with the bomber thought to have been between 12 and 14 years oldBy Isabel Hunter and Jennifer Newton for MailOnline, August 21, 2016:
At least 51 people have been been killed and nearly 100 injured after a child suicide bomber ripped through a wedding party in Turkey.
Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan said it was likely that ISIS was behind the attack which saw the bomber, a boy, thought to be aged between 12 and 14, blow up among people dancing in the street at a party in the city of Gaziantep last night.
Erdogan added the blast near the Syria border ‘was the result of a suicide bomber who either detonated (the bomb) or others detonated it’.
The pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, or HDP, said in a statement that the wedding was for one of its members, and women and children had been among those killed.
Hundreds gathered for funerals this afternoon, with coffins draped in green flags. But security sources said some ceremonies will have to wait because many victims were blown to pieces and DNA tests would be needed to identify them.
Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said the ‘barbaric’ attack in the city of Gaziantep, near the border with Syria, appeared to be a suicide bombing

One person who witnessed the attack said: ‘The celebrations were coming to an end and there was a big explosion among people dancing. There was blood and body parts everywhere.’
Another added: ‘It was carried out like an atrocity. We want to end these massacres. We are in pain, especially the women and children.’
The bride and groom – Besna and Nurettin Akdogan – were rushed to hospital but were not seriously wounded.
According to the state-run Anadolu news agency, the bride was released from hospital, saying as she left: ‘They turned our wedding into a bloodbath.’
She later returned to hospital after repeatedly fainting, Anadolu reported.
Erdogan said in a statement that there was ‘no difference’ between the group of US-based preacher Fethullah Gulen who he blames for the failed coup bid, the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) ‘and Daesh (ISIS), the likely perpetrator of the attack in Gaziantep’.
‘Our country and our nation have again only one message to those who attack us – you will not succeed!’ he said.
Funerals for many of the victims took place on Sunday with an AFP photographer saying that some covered relatives’ coffins with the Kurdistan flag.

As hundreds waited to say their final goodbye, some voiced anger at what they perceived to be the government’s failure to prevent the attack.
Shouts of ‘shame on you, Erdogan’ rang out while others hurled water bottles at police who kept their distance from rowdy crowds for fear of violence.
One distraught mother wailed: ‘I lost my children, now I will never see them again.’
‘The aim of terror is to scare the people but we will not allow this,’ said Deputy Prime Mehmet Simsek, who also represents Gaziantep in the Turkish parliament.
‘It is barbaric to attack a wedding,’ he told Turkish television.
Simsek later traveled to Gaziantep along with the country’s health minister to visit the wounded and inspect the site of the attack.
‘This is a massacre of unprecedented cruelty and barbarism,’ he told reporters in Gaziantep. ‘We … are united against all terror organizations. They will not yield.’
He told reporters it was too soon to say which organisation was behind the attack.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim condemned the bombing that turned ‘a wedding party into a place of mourning’ and vowed to prevail over the ‘devilish’ attacks
Gaziantep governor Ali Yerlikaya said the explosion in the city centre was due to a ‘terror attack’, state-run news agency Anadolu reported
‘No matter what this treacherous terror organisation is called, we as the people, the state, and the government will pursue our determined struggle against it,’ he said.
A brief statement from the Gaziantep governor’s office said the bomb attack on the wedding in the Sahinbey district occurred at 10.50pm.
Governor Ali Yerlikaya told Anadolu Agency the attack took place in Akdere neighborhood of Sahinbey district on the southern outskirts of the city.
He added that it was the type of attack that could have been launched by ISIS or the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
‘The explosion took place during a wedding. According to initially available information, the ceremony was being held outdoors,’ the official said.
In Gaziantep, police sealed off the site of the explosion and forensic teams moved in. Hundreds of residents gathered near the site chanting ‘Allah is great’ as well as slogans denouncing terrorist attacks
It was not clear who was responsible for the explosion. Turkish MP Mehmet Erdogan said there was a high possibility it was a suicide attack
Just north of the Syrian border, Gaziantep has become a major hub for Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country’s civil war.
But as well as refugees and opposition activists, there have long been fears it was home to a significant jihadist presence.
Turkey has already been hit by a bloody year of militant attacks in its two biggest cities that have left dozens dead.
Kurdish militants have twice struck in Ankara in deadly attacks, while IS suicide bombers have twice killed tourists in the centre of Istanbul.
The blast in Gaziantep came on the day Yildirim vowed Ankara would play a ‘more active’ role in the next six months in efforts to solve the over five-year Syrian civil war.

This is islam. This is the democrat’s vision of the new America.

This is what our politicians and journalists want us to live with on a daily basis. I say hell NO!
This is Barack, Hillary, the UN and the Democrat Party’s vision for America. If the GOP doesn’t stop rubber stamping absolutely everything Obama does and stop doing everything in their power to elect Hillary… and if they don’t start doing something meaningful to oppose and stop this, then it will be their vision for America, too.

They will probably use the mayhem as an excuse to confiscate guns. “For the people’s safety,” ya know.
Seems like a good reason to hang on to guns and load up on ammo!

This is the best reason we, in the last 4 generations, have ever had to universally own guns and know how to use them. Of course, they have gone after the ammunition to make it more difficult for us to use them.
The Public is being conditioned to believe that guns make all people dangerous, when it’s only 1% of people who make guns dangerous. Yet, when a terrorist uses a gun, they don’t notice the evil, dangerous guns at all no matter how many people died from the use of guns.
When the airplanes went into the WTC and the Pentagon and killed and injured thousands of people and destroyed $Billions in property, none of them wanted to ban aircraft. When the truck killed children and adults in Nice, none of them wanted to ban trucks. When the pressure cooker detonated and blew nails and pieces of glass into other people, none of them wanted to ban pressure cookers. When portable radio/tape decks were used to blow up multiple passenger airplanes, like Pan Am 103 over Scotland, none of them wanted to ban portable radios. People use baseball bats to beat people to death, yet none of them will ban baseball bats. People use knives to kill all the time, but none of them want to ban knives.
It’s clear that everyone knows that those things don’t kill by themselves. Trucks don’t drive themselves into crowds. Knives don’t float to their victims. Guns also have to be used by a person, in order to be dangerous or lethal.

True and well said!
Our Founding Fathers were conscious of the fact that there are people in this world that want to become tyrannical rulers of the people and counteracted, in the best way possible to them, to negate any such move.
Now, we have “fearless leaders” trying to negate the safeguards our Founders set up for us.
Not only do they want to disarm us, they have armed just about every federal government department (including the Dept. of Ed? And, maybe the Post Office?) with guns, lots of hollow point ammo, and military vehicles for all including for local police departments. Posse Cometatus seems to be out the window! Somehow I don’t think they have us peon’s best interests at heart.

As a non-US citizen (I’m a Brit), would you help me out with a thought that keeps returning to me? How it is that in any of the terror attacks in the US, no citizen has apparently had a gun? This isn’t a loaded question, just one I can’t understand! To be a citizen that takes out one of these nonces with a barrage, is one of my dreams! Just one bullet to start with, and then wait…

I’m with you- I’d love to stop these savages. What do the Brits do?
Not every American has a gun or even knows how to use one. Anyone who has been in the military has the knowledge and perhaps the weapon, but that’s a small percentage of our total population. Security guards are also not always armed. The rest of us have to purchase and learn on our own. We’re becoming much more interested in that as things obviously deteriorate here.
We already have gun control laws, which only the law-abiding follow. Criminals by definition will never obey any gun laws, which makes what our politicians want ludicrous. They will be disarming the law-abiding.
In quite a few of the mass shooting scenarios in America, the gunman deliberately chose “Gun Free Zones”, places where no one was permitted to carry their registered guns, places like schools, college campuses, movie theaters, employee Christmas parties, nightclubs, etc.

Thank you. I had known about the gun free zone part, but your link gives brilliant detail. I had heard Trump say that they choose gun control zones. Trump’s right again about Islam & will get a hammering. Do the right thing US, vote for Trump!

Thanks, I’m glad I could help out. To me and my family, it’s Trump. I voted Cruz in the Primaries, but when it comes to the General election, there’s no alternative. Another term of Obama, in the guise of Hillary, will end it all. They already want to give our borders up, as the EU wants to give up theirs. Despite Islamic supremacy beating down the doors.
I think that the calculation of choosing a “gun free zone” to commit an
atrocity is enough to submerge the defensive (and the Democrat) argument that it’s “mental illness” which caused the terrorist to commit mass murder, instead of the ideology which he admits that he believes in and probably traveled across hemispheres to enable.
OT: I’m proud of the British for Brexit. I think that the powers that Be will take it out on you because they fancy themselves Masters of the Universe, but remaining in the EU is suicidal, especially when the president of the EU thinks that borders are the worst idea ever and importing a few million anonymous men from terrorist-rich regions is the best.
The Colonies got their principles and their chutzpah from somewhere, you know 🙂

Yes. Although I’m a Brit, I think the US under Clinton might be just what China needs to overtake sooner. Trump, as we agree, is the one who appreciates the real and present threat Islamic terrorism represents, but Trump I feel, is also the great businessman the US needs right now, despite the MSM’s slander to the contrary, well they would, wouldn’t they. Trump’s right about them as well – they’re liars. We have that same problem – the press – here in the UK. I feel forced to confront Islam and its fascists on social media every day and after 7 years doing it, I never lose, which only increases the pressure I feel to do it! Good day, my US friend.

Those places they attacked were no gun zones in most states you can not carry a firearm in a bar legally some but most states it’s forbidden can’t carry a weapon on school property or even a church and crazed lunatics knows that no one will put up a fight just like shooting chickens in a chicken house they never choose a police station do they

Ya, a few years ago, Americans were open about choosing journalism school: it was to change everything around them, not report factually so that the universal Public sees what’s happening and can do something rational about it.

The citizens of the US can sympathize with the Turks. Under Obhammud we have experienced Ft. Hood, Orlando, San Bernerdino, Chattanooga, the list is endless. After 9/11 under Bush there was not a single additional domestic terror attack until he left office in ’08.
