'See beyond sects,' urges Turkish president
 [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Sunday urged for seeing beyond sectarian differences among Moslem countries, saying that the Moslem world's sole religion is Islam. "We do not have such a religion as Sunnism or Shism; our sole religion is Islam," said Erdogan addressing a crowd that gathered to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Istanbul. Erdogan said humanity had been going through a period in which oppression, massacre, terror, torture and other acts banned and criticized by Prophet Muhammad are taking place "everyday, every moment" across the world. "Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , increasingly spreading in the West, is turning into a total attack aimed at our holy book Koran and the Prophet," said Erdogan. The president also stated the sectarianism triggered "critical" issues in the Islamic world, which he said was in trouble with those who "deem their sects their religion."
