Turkish security services brought their strong-arm tactics to Washington on Thursday, roughing up protesters, journalists and even D.C. police before a speech by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The event descended into chaos and violence outside the Brookings Institute near D.C.'s Dupont Circle after the president's security personnel confronted a small group of people gathered to protest Erdogan's visit.

-- Why "Two Minarets"? --

Sort of a parallel to the "hotter than a two-peckered billygoat" line of reasoning.

He's here for the grand opening of America's largest Muslim mosque and "cultural center" in Maryland which is being held on April 2nd and of course Obamuslim will be there: Maryland Muslim mosque

My BIL is Turkish born and raised. He’s an engineer, and not very religious. I’ve never seen him pray, but he still considers himself a Muslim. Mostly social though. He freaking hates Erdogan!. And don’t bring up the subject of radical Muslim jihadiis to him. He goes nuts! He says they are just criminals using Islam as a cover. He wants them all dead!

This new mosque complex will have a Turkish bath.
Now I know why Obama will be helping to dedicate this monstrosity.
