| White House says Turkey's Erdogan misrepresenting his phone call with Obama |
| 2014-03-10 |
| Erdogan said he told Obama "that the person who is responsible for the unrest in Turkey lives in your country, in Pennsylvania. I told him this clearly, " the official Anadolu Agency quoted Erdogan as saying. "I said, 'I expect what's necessary (to be done).' You have to take the necessary stance if someone threatens my country's security." Erdogan said Obama "looked at it positively. 'We got the message,' he said." The White House said Friday that "the response attributed to President Obama with regard to Mr. Gulen is not accurate." Sounds like Mr. Obama may have gotten a phone call after the one to Erdogan.. |

| #6 No world leader would call Champ with a problem. You'd get a more serious response from Oprah or Judge Judy. |

| #3 Gulan is more of a nationalist. He believes in a particularist Turkish version of Islam which might be compatible with secularist control of the State (as long as Islam is subsidized). Erdogan is more of a caliphatist. He wants Islam to rule the State. He is also an ally of the Moslem broderbund. |
