Turkey’s Erdogan predicts “a war between the cross and the crescent” over Austria’s mosque closures

After of century of Ataturk — separation of mosque and state — a once-prospering and modern Turkey has been dragged back to stone ages by deeply devout monster Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Islamic totalitarian Turkish President Erdogan, the great destroyer of Ataturk and modern Turkey, means to incite a worldwide jihad and restore the Ottoman caliphate.

The investigation was opened after photos emerged showing a group of boys wearing Turkish uniforms and saluting, marching and waving Turkish flags, according to Die Welt. Austria prohibits foreign funding of religious organizations.
