Europe: Muslim Atrocities against Women? So What!
These examples are merely a sampling of what is becoming commonplace across Europe. In the name of human rights, inclusion, diversity and equality, "enlightened" activists and judicial authorities are apologizing for and excusing Muslim criminals for → Read More
Erdogan's Crimes against Humanity

Poetry in Erdogan's Turkey: Jihad in, Satire out
On March 8, the Turkish Minister of Finance Naci Agbal read verses from a poem titled Amentu (“I believe”) by Ismet Ozel. The verses recall the Turkish -Greek war in 1920s in Anatolia and refer to the Greeks as kafirs (infidels). “The adhan (call to prayer) is no longer heard. → Read More

Turkey's Islamic Supremacist Foreign Policy

Turkey Builds Mega-Mosque in U.S., Blocks Churches in Turkey

Turkish Justice: ISIS Walks Free; Peace Activists Jailed
Belonging to ISIS or trafficking in slavery evidently do not constitute serious crimes in Turkey. But signing petitions calling for peace and non-violence, or requesting political equality for Kurds, are unspeakable offenses. "We are not shocked that the → Read More
Turkey: The Business of Refugee Smuggling, Sex Trafficking
Professional criminals convince parents that their daughters are going to a better life in Turkey. The parents are given 2000-5000 Turkish liras ($700-$1700) as a "bride price" -- an enormous sum for a poor Syrian family. "Girls between the ages of → Read More
"Muslim Jerusalem": Turkey's Message of "Peace" to Israel
Turkey's attempts at "normalizing relations with Israel" apparently do not actually aim to normalize the relations. "We do not forget Gaza and Palestine even in our dreams, let alone in negotiations. ... Whatever is wrong for Palestine is also wrong for → Read More
