Turkey: The Fethullah Gulen movement streghens

With the last arrests within the army of opponents of AKP’s not-very-well-hidden Islamism,  the power of the Fethullah Gulen movement, an Islamist, hard-line movement grows stronger, that, if wins, can destroy Ataturk legacy. And it looks it can actually win./More

‘Al-Aqsa Mosque, Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb were not and will never be Jewish sites but Islamic sites’ says…

Yep. That quote came from Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. Just like this one:  “No Muslim could commit a genocide!!”

From the RoP:

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan worked hard last week denying
the 1915 genocide of Christian Armenians (genocide pictured above).
This week, he’ll fly down to Saudi Arabia to receive the Muslim world’s
‘Nobel Prize’ – which is awarded to individuals who make the world
a ‘better place’ through ‘positive contributions’ in ‘service to Islam’.

In the wake of the U.S. congressional vote to recognize the 1915 massacre of Armenians as a genocide, Turkey has ramped up its retaliatory rhetoric against the United States. The Turkish government is now threatening to deny the American military access to Incirlik Air Base. (GoV)

What’s Really behind Turkey’s Coup Arrests?

A mountain has moved in Turkish politics. All shots against the military are now fair game, including those below the belt. The force behind this dramatic change is the Fethullah Gulen Movement (FGH), an ultraconservative Islamic political faction that backs the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). More>>

Islamofascist Erdogan Purges Military

AP’s reporting reflects the spirit of the Islamic revival:

Military men allegedly planned to blow up mosques in order to trigger a military takeover and overthrow Erdogan gov’t.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish police detained about 50 military commanders Monday for allegedly planning to blow up mosques in order to trigger a military takeover and overthrow the Islamic-rooted government.

Arabic newspaper: “Jewish lobby” engineered U.S. Armenian genocide vote

Of course. Who else would it be but the ones the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (Qur’an 5:82)?

“Kill the infidels, kill the Jews…” our friends, the Turks….

More on this story. “‘Jewish lobby behind U.S. Armenia genocide vote,'” from Haaretz, March 6 (thanks to Jihad Watch):

Jewish lobbyists contrived a U.S. congressional vote that labeled the World War One-era massacre of Armenians by Turkish forces as genocide, a London-based Arabic-language newspaper claimed on Saturday.

Jew hatred is more common than couscous in the ME:

Aaron Klein/World News Daily

JERUSALEM – Trees, animals and non-Jewish athletes despise Jews, declared an Egyptian cleric on his country’s television network.

“People hate (Jews). They don’t like them. We are not talking only about people. [The same goes] even for trees and animals,” stated Egyptian cleric Amin Al-Ansari on a program two weeks ago that aired on Egypt’s Al-Rahma satellite network.

Is the Turkish-Israeli Alliance Over? Yes It Is

By Barry Rubin

The Turkey-Israel alliance is over. After two decades plus of close cooperation, the Turkish government is no longer interested in maintaining close cooperation with Israel nor is it—for all practical purposes—willing to do anything much to maintain its good relations with Israel.   More>>Is the Turkish-Israeli Alliance Over?

Calls to Settle Palestinians Living in Arab Countries

Arab state treatment of the Palestinians, with the partial exception of Jordan, has been the silent disgrace of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The bulk of the refugees fled in 1948-49 and the great majority of them are now dead; what are called “Palestinian refugees” are nothing of the sort, but the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of refugees. Year after year, they are born into “refugee camps” or are otherwise kept apart from the mainstream society (I document some of the disabilities they suffer in one country at “Restrictions on Palestinians in Lebanon“) – all for the purported reason of keeping them ready for “return” to a hoped-for Palestine and to keep them handy as a dagger poised against Israel’s very existence.

This maltreatment has gone virtually unremarked for decades. Must yet more generations be born before Arabs conclude these people need to allowed to live normal lives in the places they were born?

In reverse chronological order, this weblog entry follows calls made for settlement of Palestinians.
