Erdogan: European Headscarf Ban ‘Started a Clash Between the Cross and the Crescent’

“Where is the liberty of religion? They have commenced a struggle between the cross and crescent.”

Where is the liberty of religion in Turkey? Christians can go to jail for proselytizing, it’s virtually impossible to get permission to build a church, and the government has closed the only Orthodox seminary, slowly choking the Orthodox Church to death in its historic seat of Constantinople. Erdogan wouldn’t dream of granting full rights to Christians and other non-Muslims in Turkey. But he claims that steps that Europeans have taken to preserve their own culture and identity are starting a clash of civilizations. With Islamic supremacists, no matter what they themselves do, it’s always the kuffar’s fault.

“Erdogan: European Headscarf Ban ‘Started a Clash Between the Cross and the Crescent,’” by John Hayward, Breitbart, March 17, 2017:

In addition to his customary invective against European governments for refusing to allow his ministers to rally Turkish expatriates behind him, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that the EU’s new ban on headscarves in the workplace would launch “a struggle between the cross and the crescent.”

“Where is the liberty of religion? They have commenced a struggle between the cross and crescent. There is no other explanation than this. I am saying this clearly: Europe is heading toward the days just before World War II,” said Erdogan, as rendered by Hurriyet Daily News.

Euractiv transcribes Erdogan’s quote as, “The European Union’s court, the European Court of Justice, my esteemed brothers, have started a crusade struggle against the crescent,” which would be even more incendiary. Jihad and Islamist groups perpetually accuse Western powers of conducting another “crusade” against Muslims.

“Shame on the EU. Down with your European principles, values, and justice,” Erdogan told his supporters.

In a tirade on Wednesday, Erdogan said the “spirit of fascism is roaming the streets of Europe,” comparing the treatment of Muslims to how the Nazis treated Jews.

“The fear of the Turks is beginning to appear. The fear of Islam is beginning to appear. They are even afraid of the migrants looking for asylum. They fear everything which originates elsewhere; they are hostile to everything that is not from there,” he thundered.

Also speaking on Thursday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu predicted that “holy wars” would soon begin in Europe.

As translated by Hurriyet Daily News, Cavusoglu said:

Now the election is over in the Netherlands. … When you look at the many parties you see there is no difference between the social democrats and fascist [Geert] Wilders. All have the same mentality. Where will you go? Where are you taking Europe? You have begun to collapse Europe. You are dragging Europe into the abyss. Holy wars will soon begin in Europe.

“They killed each other 100 years ago because they were of different faiths, but they learned a lesson from this and set up the European Union and the Council of Europe,” Cavusoglu continued, prompting a bit of head-scratching from Hurriyet about exactly what he was driving at….

Believe it or not, erdogan is helping us – Tremendously.

By pushing it and overplaying his hand, repeatedly, he is forcefully waking up those that want to remain asleep.

I hope and pray that he continues, and even intensifies. Thank you erdogan. Please keep it up!

And this scumbag wanted to join EU ! To do exactly this – to Islamicisation of EU.

Time for christians, jews, Buddists, hindus and all sane non muslims to unite against Left/liberal/Jihadi mafia.

Left/liberal Loons including Media, college admins, politicians are in the saudi/OIC pocket to help advance their agenda of islamisation of EU/America.

Can’t believe it ? Here’s how Politicians on Iranian lobby payroll pushed through the Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/njzxzed

There is no struggle, the crescent will be relegated to its role of decoration of outhouse doors, where it will remain as a vent passing fecal odours.

islam is the cult of death, when they destroy the very sustenance of their lives, they will attribute their deaths to the will of their “allah” . The total stupidity and suicidal murderous ignorance of islam is never considered a factor.

Exactly. Their RELIGION oppresses everything. Conquering ADVANCED people and countries is something they NEED to do as well as TAXING them. Otherwise they are third world. The ELITE live off OIL money and the rest are ANGRY and IMPOVERISHED. The Muslim elite direct that ANGER towards the WEST as the common buggey man to keep peace in their hell hole.

At the bottom of his vitriol towards the EU is the fact that he knows Turkey will never be allowed to join, and it has never been seriously considered, because the two big players – Germany and France – have publicly said they would never allow it. Erdogan calls the EU “a Christian club”. When Angela Merkel was asked in an interview if Turkey would ever be given membership, she replied: “NO. AND ERDOGAN KNOW THIS.”

Probably you are right! But muzzrats can have a club why not also Christians. But bear in mind that is why they are flooding into Europe many muzzrats. I am still surprised that the Turkish secular state allowed Erdogan to become a president. Where was the Turkish army who sworn the oath to Atataturk?

President Trump declined a handshake with Merkel, as he certainly should, since there is no deal, no agreement, no shared vision.
With that one act, in the bright light of his high profile opposition to the muslim invasion of the the United States AND Europe, Trump has driven a wedge between Merkel and her barely contained German Right opposition and likely inspired it to stepped up dissent.
How does one become a brilliant tactician and computational genius? Ask Donald Trump.
The best we can hope for now is to see every battle line drawn sharply and starkly at the interface of the clash of civilizations — Judeo-Christian and mohametan.
And as great a leader and savior of Western Civilization and our American way of life Trump seems to be, he’s equally as much a threat to our existential enemies foreign and domestic. And we all need to pray every day for his continued safety and success.

Geopolitically, what it means is, Russia and China dominate the Eurasian landmass, with Muslims playing the role of softening up Europe.

The crescent will WIN in Europe if the U.S. stays out of it.
Europe ASKED for this. It is THEIR war to fight. Sure air drop some gun to them since many countries in the EU disarmed their people but that is ALL.

40 Publish a non-violent koran, Mecca Koran with pre-medina/ abrogated verses
41 Study the Calcutta Petition about banning Koran that it incites violence
42 Bring a strong test case against a anyone — Muslim or non-Muslim who advocates killing of a community (jews, hindus or not by name but generically infidels, dhimmies, but-prastas ie idol-worshippers
43 If Islamic countries do allow idols in private homes of non-Muslims (they are either confiscated or people keeping their religious artefacts in their home are fined, jailed or kicked out of the country), America should reciprocate the same way; no more loud azaan/ adhan from mosque speakers

Turkey’s ideology under Erdogan is a combination of Islamism and fascism. Erdogan is very much a Neo- Ottomanist. He dreams of Turkey carrying the flag of Islam at the expense of both Europe and the west. He has no genuine goodwill towards Europe or the west. The careful cultivation of grievance in relation to Europe and the west is ideologically driven and designed to put Europe on the defensive and to also extract concessions from it. As for a war between the Crescent and the Cross, well the Crescent has been at war with Jews and Christians since the birth of Islam. The Koran commands Muslims to fight unbelievers till they feel dominated.
