Erdogan tells off Merkel for using phrase 'Islamist terrorism'

Erdogan, sitting next to Merkel, was stony-faced as she spoke.


Many Muslims oppose any equating of Islam and terror, arguing those who commit crimes purportedly in the name of Islam have nothing to do with a religion that espouses peace.


"This expression 'Islamist terror' seriously saddens us Muslims," Erdogan replied, glancing sternly at the German chancellor.


"Such an expression is not correct because Islam and terror cannot be associated. The meaning of Islam is peace."

Islam doesn't mean peace anymore Bubba.

It's like a typical Lib term... ascribing the opposite to reality.

Islam is terrorism. Not everyone, but so many it's turned the world inside out.

Islam has been trying to make the world peaceful alright... with Nazi-like control of societies for hundreds of years.

Sorry asshole... your religion isn't "peaceful".

Erdogan is a total idiot. He will ruin Turkey for decades after his reign is over.

Your levels of hatred and ignorance on this subject staggers the mind.

Erdogan is a power-hungry madman. His being Muslim is coincidence. I can name you dozens of horrible world leaders who had and have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.

There are well over a billion Muslims...if all of them were terrorists the world would be covered in violence - drowning in blood. Terrorism is nothing to do with religion. It is to do with poverty and/or insanity and/or repression (political and otherwise).

You have no clue what you are are talking about on this and if you think anyone with intelligence and common sense takes you seriously - you are a fool.

You are good for a laugh on this subject...nothing more.

We are done here, little one.


Good day.


And once again...I am neither lib nor con - neither dem nor rep.

I worked with a few Turks, a Kurd, and Bulgarian now and again during the past few years... all Muslims, and I never brought up politics, they have, and when they did they showed utter disdain for Erdogan. They despise the guy.

My ignorance of the subject... ROTFLOL... OK... tell me, how has he improved the lot of freedom for Turkish people? You do realize what he's done there with the press? With opposition?

You do realize our problems with security in the West is due to people who do their dirty deeds in the name of Islam? Terrorists.

You do realize we are drowning in blood? In instability? Why? Islam.

I recall after the USSR was disbanded that I believed finally, after a half century of tension, we could exist in peace.

Nope.

And the "nope" wasn't due to former Soviet states... it is due to Islam.

Terrorism has to do with "poverty"? Really?

You're a total moron and revealed it with that post.

bin Laden was wealthy. The upper echelons of al Quaida were wealthy... as is so often the case.

Poverty isn't the cause of terrorism, that's idiotic. A perverted religion and those perverting it are the cause.

You're not a con nor a lib... you're thick as a brick.
