To this end, the AKP took advantage of Turkish anger with the US war in Iraq, casting it as an attack on all Muslims, Turks included. This reinforced its bipolar vision. Recently, while visiting Pakistan (of all places), Erdogan claimed that “the United States backs common enemies of Turkey and Pakistan, and that the time has come to unmask them and act together.” He later denied making these comments, which were reported in Pakistan’s prominent English-language dailies.
I wish we would prove erdogan right about this. But the reality is that we have been far too easy on the muslim world. turkey is another country which deserves to be bombed into oblivion. Instead they remain a part of NATO and major decision makers in the alliance at that. This even though the erdogan regime repeatedy openly declares it is our enemy. The U.S., the west and Israel are pushovers in the face of islamic aggression. When will we all stop acting as doormats for the muslim world?
The AKP’s foreign-policy vision is not simply dualistic, but rather premised on Islam’s à la carte morals and selective outrage, and therein lies the real danger. [..] The latter, the Sudanese president indicted for genocide in the International Court of Justice, was gracefully hosted by the AKP in Turkey. Erdogan has said, “I know Bashir; he cannot commit genocide because Muslims do not commit genocide.”Read the rest of this skunk erdogan's blather.
This is the gist of the AKP’s à la carte foreign-policy vision: that Muslims are superior to others, their crimes can be ignored and anyone who stands against Muslim causes deserves to be punished.
Erdogan, when visiting Lebanon recently said ‘Turkey won’t be silent if Israel attacks Lebanon, Gaza’
“Does (Israel) think it can enter Lebanon with the most modern aircraft and tanks to kill women and children, and destroy schools and hospitals, and then expect us to remain silent?”
“Does it think it can use the most modern weapons, phosphorus munitions and cluster bombs to kill children in Gaza and then expect us to remain silent? We will not be silent and we will support justice by all means available to us,”
