[RT] Moslems should use every opportunity to go to Jerusalem to help protect the al-Aqsa mosque, which Israeli soldiers are "carelessly polluting" while "easily spilling blood," ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
has said.
Moslems should support their brothers in faith suffering from Israel’s actions at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Erdogan told members of the ruling AK Party on Tuesday.
"From here I call upon all Moslems. Those who are able to should visit al-Aqsa... Those who cannot visit al-Aqsa should send aid to our brothers there," Erdogan said in Ankara, as cited by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
"When Israeli soldiers carelessly pollute the grounds of al-Aqsa with their combat boots by using simple issues as a pretext and then easily spill blood there, the reason [they are able to do that] is we [Moslems] have not done enough to stake our claim over Jerusalem," Erdogan said.
He added that
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
has "no issues with them," according to Rooters.
Erdogan also said he had spoken to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and told him that Moslems visiting al-Aqsa mosque could not be treated as terrorists. "We can also not accept Jews going to synagogues and temples being treated as terrorists," he said.
