This kind of talk could get Erdogan the Democratic Party’s 2020 Presidential nomination.
“Erdogan’s Monstrous Death Threats to Australians,” by Tim Wilms, The Unshackled, March 20, 2019:
Turkey’s Islamist dictator President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has responded to the fact the Christchurch mosque shooter was Australian to threaten Australians visiting Turkey with death if they are discovered to have anti-Islam views.
Erdogan was speaking at a campaign rally for upcoming local elections on March 31 in the northern Turkish town of Eregli. Eager to stoke nationalist and Islamist sentiment Erdogan played the video of the shooting as proof of rising hatred and prejudice against Islam.
Erdogan then took the extraordinary action of putting the Australia-Turkey post-World War One and ANZAC peacetime relationship in serious doubt. He reopened the two nations World War One hostilities asking “What business did you have here? We had no issues with you, why did you come all the way over here?” concluding “The only reason: we’re Muslim, and they’re Christian.”
Then alluding to the fact that thousands of Australians travel to Gallipoli in Turkey every year on ANZAC Day on April 25 warning that if they harbor anti-Muslim views threatening “Your grandparents came here … and they returned in caskets,” and “Have no doubt we will send you back like your grandfathers.”…
John Allan says
Might be as well if Erdogan refrains from visiting Australia, then.
mortimer says
He’s making the Australians realize that they made a mistake by not thoroughly defeating the Turks once and for all in 1917!
Muslims can’t live at peace with any country … even with other Muslim countries. Islam creates unending conflict. One wonders how bad he will have to behave before the majority of Turks revolt.
Rufolino says
The “majority of Turks” are Moslem, so why would they be likely to revolt against Erdogan ?
Or am I missing something ?
gravenimage says
I’m afraid I agree. Many–perhaps most–Muslims in Turkey approve of the Islamization of Turkish society.
Westman says
Listening to one of those travel shows, the name of Turkey was never mentioned. Erdogan seems insistent upon turning Turkey into an “Iran #2” that even Cenk Uygur wouldn’t visit.
One must give credit to Erdogan for being very Islamic; claiming victimhood for Turkey while threatening violence. He may actually be qualified to dream of being Kaliph.

I can’t agree with you any less. He is already a self-styled Islamic warlord; at least he is acting like one. The So called secular Turkey seems to have insatiable appetite for his Islamic jibes time and again.

Thanks for reminding us of this utterance. There have been so many, it’s hard to keep track. How about “Democracy is a street car….you ride it to where you want to go and then get off”?
Walter Sieruk says
That statement by Erdogan further reveals and proofs that Islam has little to no valid arguments based on reason and logic to uphold it. Therefore since the Islam can’t be defended from its critics by logic and reason to silence those people who might criticize this religion . Those who follow this religion, Islam, use the threat of deadly violence to silence those people who might criticize Islam.
This shows what a fragile and weak religion Islam must actually be
Sentinel says
Of course, why do you think Islam is dead set again religious freedom and apostasy against Islam. Because when Islam took previously Christian countries such as Egypt, Syria, Eastern Roman Empire, they realised Islam cannot stand up to scrutiny against Christianity.
elee says
Oooooh trigger warning! Islamophobia alert! Somebody’s trying to examine ideas and debate our political future! Probably some white man. Look what happened when they did that in 1776! Somebody better go arrest someone or fire someone or something. Just make like the Turks did after their convenient fake coup in 2015.
StacyGirl says
Thanks for the reminder. Thousands of journalists and other “enemies of the Turkish state” imprisoned. The uncaring media’s lack of curiousity here is scandalous.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Erdogan has gone full leprechaun. All is lost!!
Niemoller says
In other words, Erdogan is no different than the NZ mosque shooter, just more powerful. Let’s remember that Erdogan murdered hundreds of people just so he could survive a coup by people who see him as an Islamist threat to the modern secular Turkish state begun a century ago and as yet incomplete. Erdogan is a traitor and a mass murderer by any objective measure.

“How is he going to spot the islamophobes? Does he have an anti-muslim detector?”
yeah he probably does, and I bet it’s made by the same company that makes the “muslim-in-name-only” detector used by the Counter Jihad that helps them say all the dang time that “not all Muslims” are extremist.
black adder says
Boycott Turkey. It is as simple as that.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Just another example of why all freedom loving people should boycott all Muslim countries. They are cesspools of hatred.
Isn’t their economy dropping off a cliff?
Something has to give. Maybe he’s using Islam to distract the citizens of Turkey. This situation proves David Wood’s point that even secularized Islamic countries, given certain leadership, have at their disposal the tools in their toolbox to revert back to their former Islamic doctrines of hatred and hegemony politics
crawford421 says
Eight years ago I visited Constantinople, and refused to go into the “Blue Mosque”. The only part of their archaeological museum dedicated to post-Muslim times was described as “a bunch of tiles glued to the walls”, while the rest of the museum had stunning artifacts from Babylon, Troy, Alexander the Great, classical Greek, and the late Roman empire.
I’ve said for a few years that I’d never go now, with the course Erdogan has taken. This just seals it.
Oh, and back then, New Zealanders didn’t have to pay an entry fee to get into Turkey. Their NATO allies from America had to hand over a $20 to get in.
Ross Lloyd says
Erdogan forgets who it was the Turks surrendered Romani, Beersheba, Jerusalem, Damascus and Aleppo to… 🙂 Turkey should be booted out of NATO and Russia admitted instead.

Everyone in the free world, including our “leaders,” needs to revisit the movie, “Mars Attacks.” It is a perfect representation of how the free world is handling the Islamic crisis.

Erdogan: If Australians with anti-Islam views come to Turkey, we will send them back in caskets

Just sick.
Never mind that Australia has roundly condemned the shooting in New Zealand.
And note that Erdogan does not say something reasonable like their allowing no violence–instead, he phrases it as murdering anyone with “anti-Islam views”.

Islam is “the religion of peace”. The peace of the grave.

A cnn.com article reports:
“Makeshift memorials have sprung up around the mosques, with flowers and notes bearing messages of hope and love.,”
“They may take our innocence but we will show the world the meaning of love and compassion” said one note taped to flowers left on a road divider.”
I guess this “innocent” party never bothers to read world news! Maybe they’d then throw some “love and compassion” in worthier directions.

Whenever I think of Erdogan I think of goats (poem courtesy of Boris Johnson):

Wellington says
Again a Muslim exhibits just how dedicated Muslims are to free speech.
Islam and freedom. You can have one or the other. You can’t have both.
And so many non-Muslims in the West have still, in full willful ignorance mode, or due to just indefensible apathy (and apathy in the face of iniquity is itself iniquitous as is willful ignorance of malevolence), remain utterly stupid respecting what Islam intends for us all. Fox news executives and the entire Bush family come to mind here, never mind the atrocious non-Muslim people who can be found on the Left side of the political spectrum like Bernie and AOC.
I hate Islam. All of it. If one cherishes liberty, there is no other choice but to despise it because Islam can no more be reformed than any other freedom-crushing totalitarian ideology can be. Those who aver otherwise, however sincere, are useless at best, contributory to Islam not being viewed for the monstrosity which it so deserves to be viewed as.
Oh, btw, as others have already stated, boycott Turkey. Don’t go there. May its economy rot. So deserving if this happens. Eff Erdogan. Eff Islam. Eff any excuses for Islam.

Islam can never be reformed because you can’t change the word of God and even suggesting that you should is punishable by death. And yet we have these “moderate Muslims” in America claiming that Islam can be reformed. Laura Ingraham had 2 such people on her show the night be last who made such claims and Ingraham was gushing with love for her new Muslim friends. One even claimed that Islam can withstand scrutiny. Sure, that’s why those who criticize Islam are described as Islamophobes or bigots.
it never occurred to Ingraham that what Fox did to her colleague Pirro is evidence to the contrary. It was disturbing to watch.
gravenimage says
Yes–the claims that Islam can be reformed seem damned unlikely.
Wellington says
I agree, Terry, that Islam can no more be reformed than can other totalitarian ideologies like Nazism and Marxism and have written such many times here at JW.
I too saw that segment with Laura Ingraham and the two Muslimas and just shook my head watching Ingraham, who is very smart but I would bet she knows next to nothing about Islam, seconding what these two Muslimas were asserting. I think the two Muslim women are very likely not devious but rather naive and believe in a fantasy version of Islam that does not exist. But whether devious or simply naive, they are wrong just as Ingraham was almost four years ago when she criticized Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller for having the Mohammed drawing contest in Garland, Texas where two Islamic terrorists who wanted to kill as many people as possible were put down first by law enforcement.
Ingraham knows the law and a great deal of other things, but she’s an ignoramus on Islam. Shame on her for this.
StacyGirl says
The US and our allies should declare Turkey off limits for safe travels. Erdogan’s own mouth proclaimed it. Don’t forget that charges are routinely brought against innocent people in Turkey to make a point.
underbed cat says
Why were Turks in the mosque in New Zealand? Could the shooter have been a white jihadist, seeking revenge on a Sunni Mosque….and trouble for Turkey from Saudi Arabia from the Khoshoggi hit? I have thoughts or doubts it may not be as it appears, two issues came forward. A suggestion he was a white nationalist which he did not say, but is repeated hourly by the press, or maybe a conflict of two geographical regions both wanting to rule a caliphate. The left has plenty of talking points and resumed the mantra that our President is a white nationalist to try to stop his massive support on border protection. So something that happens a thousand miles away …and they are all experts, but can’t read, he said he did not support Trump, so he went after a black outspoken informed woman who does support Trump maybe to please the far left. No one of the left would believe that muslims fight each other….but..it just does not support the facts, they many times do. Protection for the their many invasions is the name of the game…they have conquered massive amounts of land but don’t believe in jihad, sell that one to the press. He may or may not have been a jihadi he just acted the same way.
Terry Gain says
Tarrant is a white nationalist terrorist nut job. He did say he supported Trump on immigration but not otherwise. He has set back his cause of opposing Muslim immigration into Australia with his atrocities. This would have been obvious to him if he weren’t insane.
Carol the 1st says
underbed cat…have you read any articles that suggest Turkish muslims were a significant part of the “audience”? An article I read spoke of dozens of Pakistani muslims and made no mention of the nationality of the others,
Erdogan is just revealing his Islamic Pavlovian drool response to death and violence in the name of Moe’s sock puppet. Nothing personal.
GreekEmpress says
It will be interesting to see if any media covers his maniacal diatribe. (Not holding my breath.)
Turkey routinely violates Greece’s airspace to intimidate the country. Other than Greek Reporter,
I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else.
Erdogan is beyond dangerous. (Understatement, I know.)
Gray says
Anzac Cove in Turkey contains the final resting place of many Australian and New Zealand soldiers, slaughtered during the First World War, in a hopeless military engagement that had no chance of success. Gallipoli has become a place of annual pilgrimage for Australians, with a dawn service being celebrated every Anzac Day (the Australian equivalent of Veterans Day, I assume). The great Kemal Attaturk had a monument erected at Anzac Cove, containing these moving and beautiful words:
‘Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”
Ataturk, 1934.’
The Australian Prime Minister was right to react as angrily as he did, to Erdogan’s deliberately inflammatory words. The PM summoned the Turkish Ambassador, and delivered a strongly worded protest. I think the Australian PM should go much further, and expel the ambassador, and break off diplomatic relations with Turkey.
Erdogan is pure evil.

Angry Aussie says
I have advised ScoMo to visit Turkey and smash Erdogan in the head with an egg. Apparently that’s the way we hold political discussions with politicians here in Australia now.
Threats to Aussies in the lead up to ANZAC Day memorial services? Pft! Who cares? It wouldn’t be the first time it has happened. It isn’t even safe in Australia to hold ANZAC services in our capital cities. We have armed guards, bollards, the lot. We had Islamists planning to stuff the pouch of a kangaroo with explosives and send her into a crowd with an ISIS flag painted on.
The Christchurch terror attack was horrid, but it is being milked for every drop in Australia by Islamic groups holding constant vigils. They weren’t affected and aren’t affected, yet these vigils are rolling on everywhere and usually with donations buckets and media attached.
Let’s see if Turkey joins the EU after threatening grandchildren of ANZACs. Really, there’s nothing new in the threats. It’s just this time he has made them in public.
May Allah strike his wicked arse to ash!!!
Marigold says
The Anzac threat will be predictably underplayed by the MSM.However,the Morrison government seems to be taking it seriously enough and making all the right noises and the Labour government is following suit because it knows most Aussies are very sentimental and attached to the ANZAC legend. After all it is has been used for generations to bind a young nation together.
However, I would say most people in Australia have never heard of the Armenian genoicide which Turkey has never admitted to and is never likely to under Erdogan so isn’t it time the MSM enlightened them? Of course they won’t for fear of upsetting the Turkish community in Australia.
I wonder what Koch thinks of all this?.He is lying low with egg all over his face after his ridiculous and uncalled for bullying of Pauline Hanson who held herself well during his unjustified and unfair tirade.
Lydia Church says

tim gallagher says
The pilgrimage to Gallipoli has been an important thing for Australians and New Zealanders to do for a long time. I think part of why it has been important is that they are young countries (Australia’s first settlement by the English in 1788) and World War I was sort of both countries first involvement in big world events. The troops went into a hopeless situation at Gallipoli and showed great courage despite facing a hopeless situation. I think it might be like the Alamo for Americans, where I think they faced a hopeless situation but were extremely brave. I have mixed feelings about going to Gallipoli. In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about how, one day, a Muslim terrorist attack will be launched there. I’d say it is almost certain to happen one day. It must be quite a target for Muslim would be terrorists. Most of the people who go there are young Australian and New Zealand backpackers. But, although I understand celebrating the fantastic courage of our troops in WWI, I personally don’t like to celebrate anything where we get beaten by Muslims, such as the Turks at Gallipoli. I think it makes more sense to go to the western fronts of WWI where we took part in defeating Germany and winning the war. Maybe I’m wrong but I think it is better to celebrate winning battles and wars. Certainly, I don’t like celebrating any defeat we suffer at Muslim hands. I have heard that many more people are, in fact, going to the sites of battles in France and Belgium where we helped win WWI, probably because of the threat of a Muslim terrorist threat at Gallipoli. This Erdogan is a piece of garbage.
Renate says
The way Erdogan talks, shouldn’t we be complaining about the anti-infidel backlash? Every time a Muslim kills a bunch of infidels, the Muslim communities all brace themselves for an anti-Muslim backlash whether it’s real or imagined. Shouldn’t we take a page from their book?

Walter Sieruk says
To give some Bible based information with authorized Islamic literature also taken into account and yet not to go into detail and that state that this is a theory of Bible prophecy and not a complete prophecy fact. This is what might happen.
This awful and terrible conflict in the twenty -first century is part of the war between the Judo- Christian West and the Islamic East. The Mahdi will arise in the Middle East he will appear a wonderful man to many people, in reality he will be wicked man and will be so very deceitful and lying to he will seem, very much, like a good righteous and rightly guided man who will make a short and false “peace” in the Middle East. The Mahdi with have a partner who will be the false “jesus” of Islam. This Islamic ”jesus” will give Christian’s a choice , which is convert to Islam or die by beheading, this is the Koranic way to killing non-Muslims, as in 47:4. Those vicious murders of Christians in the future are predicted in the Bible. As seen in Revelation 20:4. Furthermore in Israel the Mahdi “shall divide the land” Daniel 11:39. [K.J.V.] between the Jews and Muslims and the Mahdi will also by many deceiving lying signs and wonders, will unify Shi ‘ite and Sunni Islam together common goal destroying the State of Israel ,once and for all. The Mahdi will then take the all the military force of Islam with Satanic intention of totally destroying the Jewish State, one and for all. The when the Second Coming of real Jesus will occur .This is at the Battle of Armageddon, at Megiddo , where the final and complete defeat of the Mahdi, along with false ”jesus,” and his Islamic military forces. After the great Victory there will be then the total destruction of Islam. As found in the Bible in, for example, Ezekiel chapter 37 and 38. Zechariah Chapter 12 and then 14:9-21 well as in Revelation 19:11-21.
There is an Christian Arab pastor ,Michael Youssef who had written two well researched and informative books about the Islamic messiah called the Mahdi the are END TIMES AND THE SECRET OF THE MAHDI also the book entitled JESUS , JIHAD AND PEACE Furthermore, another Christian author on the topic of the Mahdi and prophecy is other than pastor Youssef is Joel Richardson who wrote THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST :THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE BEAST and the other book entitled THE MIDEAST BEAST : THE SCRIPTURAL CASE FOR THE ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST.
KWJ says
Erdogan is an anachronism. In 2003 on video he is telling his “Kurdish brothers” how the infidels laugh at us. (Yes he called us infidels.) When he was mayor of Istanbul he was arrested for going against the secular state and inciting racial/ethnic tensions.
He’s just using Islam as a tool for his followers to fight for him just as Muhammad did. It’s Muslims who make a competition with Christians besides the Qur’an not liking any unbelievers. The Qur’an is a ready made war book. What does Turkey have to offer? Erdogan and others in their government really get off on the Ottoman re-dux ideas. They said they could take Germany in three days which sounded like a threat because Turks in Germany who are his fans have the audacity to have these parades waving the Turkish flag and think of Erdogan as their leader not Merkel. Does Merkel like being made a fool of? Erdogan admires Hitler, seriously, he said so.
They should be kicked out of NATO and we should remove our personnel from there. But as it is, we have other allies in the Middle East that are also a problem.
He showed them the film of the massacre in New Zealand to rile them up and hate infidels even more. Muslims have done the worse in blowing up mosques-hundreds in the last decade but he doesn’t bother with those.
He’s another example of why Islam is a blight on the world. The Qur’an is from its beginning a tool for violence and booty. Erdogan’s relatively new palace is bigger than the Kremlin and Versailles fit for an Ottoman Sultan. They get off on winning despite the ill effects. And he supports the Muslim Brotherhood and gives the MB hand sign in photos. Funded the Turkish mosque in Maryland, USA.
We are in pathetic times when we shake the hands of ideological enemies who will walk all over you or worse.

But only 7 % of Turkish DNA seems to come from the steppes. The rest is mostly derived from the ancient people of Turkey. What a long respectable history they have! From gobekli tepe 10.000 years ago, through the “invention” of agriculture 1000 s of years ago. Then to for instance the Hittites, the Celtic Galatians, the many Greeks on the coast. Then the Romans and Byzantines, a 1000 years, with Christianity maybe 700 years.
One would wish to thrust upon the Turks the idea of trying a renaissance of their beautiful old culture(s). Even the mighty Central Asian Turkish warriors did have a proud tradition before their Khans so stupidly chose Islam.
