Time to crack down on 'Islamophobia', Turkey's Erdogan tells EU
[DAWN] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Tuesday warned the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... it should crack down on "Islamophobia" ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... amid rising anti-Moslem protests instead of trying to teach Turkey lessons about democracy. Erdogan told Turkey's ambassadors posted abroad in a speech in Ankara that they should pursue an assertive foreign policy to represent strong and self-confident ?new Turkey? under his rule. In a new attack on the EU, Erdogan called on the 28-member bloc to "revisit its Turkey policy", accusing Europe of dragging its feet on Ankara's decade-old membership bid. "Believe me it is regrettable that the EU is trying teach a lesson to Turkey instead of trying to tackle very serious threats it is facing," he said. Probably you can't google Charlie Hebdo on Turkey's controlled internet. Posted by: Fred 2015-01-08 |
