Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday rebuked German Chancellor Angela Merkel for using the expression “Islamist terrorism”, saying the phrase was not correct and saddened Muslims.

“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.” …

Islamic terrorists don't like to be called Islamic terrorists.

The world is absolutely nuts right now.

Same kind of theoretical “peace” that the commies claim would exist if they made the entire world godless, property-less and family-less.

Kemal Ataturk’s spirit weeps over what became of his Modern Turkey.

Get your popcorn ready. I have a feeling Merkel’s upcoming election is going to be as wild as Trump-Hildabeast. She already trying to run against Trump. LOL.

No, the meaning of Islam is submission.

Terror is a tool to get that submission.

Their prophet and their book command them to make everyone on earth submit.

It also tells them that the jihad must continue until everyone submits.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

Unfortunately, Germany does not have a Trump or even a Trump-like candidate.

It’s been described as “communism with a god” in fact. That the west has been so feckless in recent decades is difficult to accept.
