Hayrettin Karaman, a leading theologian and issuer of fatwas, or religious edicts, for ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) circles and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, wrote in a column on Thursday that casting a “yes” vote in a referendum on April 16 is a fard, the Islamic term for a religious obligation.

Everybody loves a fatwa.

Everybody loves a Caliphate...

Everybody loves Erdogan....

Think he had that in mind when he built this palace at a price tag of 350 million https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2014/oct/29/turkeys-new-presidential-palace-unveiled-in-pictures

Everybody loves a liberal media coverup of muzzslime

Is that why Obama expected dictatorial power?

That whirring sound you hear is Kamel Ataturk spinning in his grave.

It could be a new hit show. Probably on MSNBC.

Starring Barack Hussein Obama as the nutty, wacky, goofy, good-hearted Manchurian Candidate who keeps getting political appointments, against good logic, without rhyme or reason.

“Turkey’s mainly Kurdish southeast and its three main cities, including the capital Ankara and the largest city Istanbul, looked set to vote “No” after a bitter and divisive campaign.” -Reuters

Translation: Kurds and literate Turks vote no.

Every time Americans buy goods made in Turkey they fund the destruction of the West. Erdogan is the one funding and building Muslim Brotherhood mega-mosques from Tennessee to Tallinn. Erdogan is the one exporting ISIS fighters to commit terror in Europe and soon the U.S.A. Erdogan's son has made hundreds of millions buying ISIS' banned oil exports. This man is 100% evil and a threat to the world. Yet the world does NOTHING.

Well Americans CAN do one thing....BOYCOTT TURKEY.

Time for Nato to kick out Turkey.

[beethovenfan]

Up your fatwa.

[Twinkie]

Especially when it’s a “FARD”!

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Many people around the world firmly believe that all Muslim clerics should be hanged.

[blueplum]

dictatorial powers is Islamic obligation That right there is all we need to understand just how bad islam is as a system.

[PGR88]

Another dear NATO ally.

[soycd]

There is no belief as bad as islam, so I’d say the followers of islam want whatever makes it as bad as possible.

Before the vote, the question should have been addressed as to why Turkey was part of NATO. Now, this question has to be asked and answered, kick Turkey out.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

At least this cleric is revealing the “TRUE” face of Islam. There is no room for “tolerance” or “freedom of expression” in their version of it.

Seems I recall some paperhanger with a similar view of the “True Face of Germany” and a moustached guy in Russia (wait there were two of them) who said that communism was the only thing to vote for. Mao didn’t even bother with a vote, but he killed 60 MILLION of his own people anyway. Too many mouths to feed.

Yes, extremism is real and deadly. Pretty soon the concept of a democratic Turkey will be just a memory.
