Erdogan has said this before, as he works systematically to dismantle Turkish secularism and turn Turkey into a sharia state. Long held up as shining examples of modernity and the “look-what’s-possible-in-the-Muslim-world,” Turkey was supposed to be proof in itself of the existence of “moderate Islam,” and its ability to succeed and thrive. But that was before the ascent of the caliph Erdogan. What he has done to “secular Turkey” is further proof, as if any were needed for those who aren’t terminally self-deceived, that Islamic “reform” and “moderate Islam” are blips in Islamic history, not trends, or any indication of what Islam will be like in the future. Erdogan is indeed not a “moderate.” He is a proponent of jihad and sharia, monstrous, brutal and extreme.
“The term ‘moderate Islam’ aims to weaken the religion, Erdoğan says,” Daily Sabah, November 10, 2017:
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lashed out at the term “moderate Islam” on Friday, saying the term’s only aim is to weaken the religion itself rather than distance it from extremists.
Story continues below advertisementIn a clear reference to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s remarks, Erdoğan said that the origin of the term lies in the Western world.
“The term ‘moderate Islam’ is being lathered up again. The patent of moderate Islam belongs to the West. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam; Islam is one. The aim of using such terms is to weaken Islam,” Erdoğan said.
“They say we will return to moderate Islam, but they still don’t give women the right to drive. Is there such a thing in Islam? I guess they will give this right when they turn to the moderate one,” he added.
Erdoğan’s words came at a women’s entrepreneurship event held for the Organization Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) Women’s Advisory Council at the Presidential Palace complex in Ankara.
In his speech, Erdoğan also criticized discrimination against Muslim women. “Headscarves are gradually being banned in EU states with the public – personal space trick, attempting to bar Muslim women from entering social life. Attempts to incarcerate Muslim women in their homes is spreading like a virus,” Erdoğan said.
“Today, most EU countries actively restrict Muslim women from working and getting access to education. Those who are teaching us lessons on human rights are unfortunately applauding as the most basic human rights are being trampled in their countries.”…

What is the meaning, the purpose of this UN? How much does it cost to run? Does the US bear most of the cost to run it?
People are too busy, kept tired and running, and do not have time to read the truth, which was the plan all along. Such an important topic, the truth hidden, so sad.

They don’t read any more. Reading is redundant. How many people will “see” a sign on a door in big letters that says closed, and pull on the door and then pear in to see if anyone will open it? Too many.

Wrongo, POS Erdogan. Islam is a patriarchy that enslaves and demeans women and promotes men a status of unimpeachable. The POS muslims kill others that don’t accept their patriarchy.
Islam is a cancer and must be treated as such.

Tell the Cypriots who were dispossessed of their homes and property when Turkey invaded and annexed 40% of Cyprus in the 1970’s how “secular” Turkey was. Tell the victims (mostly Greeks, but some unfortunate Jews as well) of the 1950’s, state-sponsored, Istanbul pogrom how “secular” Turkey is.

Apparently there is a severe purge of the political opposition going on in that country.

Not only that, it’s also a lie! Like this leader of Turkey has said, “There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.” And he would know. Horse’s mouth yall.

I am confused. This leader stands firm from his belief of what his religion means, but he blames the west for restricting women. I thought I had once read somewhere that a woman should stay in the back of the house, devote herself to the care of her family and children, allow herself to be little seen outside the home. I recall it was once like this in a small Western European country with which I was familiar, the influence coming from centennia of such thought. Sometimes I wonder if people know what they want, or is this all a ruse. Who knows.

I’d like to see where in the holey quranus or ahadith anything about a “moderate”, “secular” islum is mentioned.

In every country that Muslims are a minority, they are obsessed with minority rights.
In every country with a Muslim majority, there are NO minority rights.

I think the term “moderate Islam” is misleading. The only real reason that most Muslims can live in Western societies is because they quietly ignore the more violent passages of the Quran, not because those passages do not exist.
To be honest, in Islam, it is probably a grave sin to place the laws of a non-Muslim country above the laws of the Quran.

The moderate Muslim holds you down while the extremist Muslim cuts off your head.
