And Turkey is going to vote on doing away with the PM position, so Erdogen can be president until 2029. It has been reported that thinks he is the next Caliph and is wanting to bring back the Ottoman empire.
Yep, and in recent months Erdogan has been explaining real Islam to any who will listen. Many still refuse to listen and hear the truth.
Erdogan is one of the most dangerous characters on the world scene.
He does indeed believe he is the Muslim power figure who will bring Islam its final world victory.
The recent failed coup, which many believe Erdogan set up himself, gave him a surge of authoritarian power for his Caliphate ambitions. He called on his people to "come out of the mosques" and flood the streets to protect him--and they did so in great numbers.
With a country the size of Turkey at his disposal, Erdogan can make Isis look like a minor blip in the struggle for Islamic world domination.
"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers."--Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
