Title: turkey and Erdoğan
Post by Sprintcyclist on Nov 26th, 2015 at 6:58am

he is an Islamic who supports terrorist groups and had downed a Russian jet


Quote:
.......Their complaints ranged from the original local environmental concerns to such issues as the authoritarianism of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,[85][86][87] curbs on alcohol,[88] a recent row about kissing in public,[5] and the war in Syria.[5] Protesters called themselves çapulcu (looters), reappropriating Erdoğan's insult for themselves (and coined the derivative "chapulling", given the meaning of "fighting for your rights"). .....

Quote:
.................Since 2011, the AKP has increased restrictions on freedom of speech, freedom of the press, Internet use,[95] television content,[96] and the right to free assembly.[97] It has also developed links with Turkish media groups, and used administrative and legal measures (including, in one case, a $2.5 billion tax fine) against critical media groups and journalists: "over the last decade the AKP has built an informal, powerful, coalition of party-affiliated businessmen and media outlets whose livelihoods depend on the political order that Erdoğan is constructing. Those who resist do so at their own risk."[98]

The government has been seen by certain constituencies as increasingly Islamist and authoritarian,[99][100][101] An education reform strengthening Islamic elements and courses in public primary and high schools was approved by the parliament in 2012, with Erdoğan saying that he wanted to foster a "pious generation."[102] The sale and consumption of alcohol in university campuses has been banned.[88][103] People have been given jail sentences for blasphemy.[104][105]

While construction in Turkey has boomed and has been a major driver for the economy, this has involved little to no local consultation. For example, major construction projects in Istanbul have been "opposed by widespread coalitions of diverse interests. Yet in every case, the government has run roughshod over the projects' opponents in a dismissive manner, asserting that anyone who does not like what is taking place should remember how popular the AKP has been when elections roll around."[98] Corruption concerns have also been raised, particularly relating to the Kanal İstanbul.[106].............

Yes, they are embarked on a long plan to take Turkey away from secularism and down the dark path of Islamism. And they are about 75% there.

Europe should, but the spineless bastards won't, expel them from NATO and never even discuss with them the prospect of EU membership.
