As a consequence of the Eurozone crisis, racism is on the rise, in the same way that the 1929 crisis inspired anti-Semitism. But this time the scapegoats are Muslims, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu told a Brussels audience on Thursday (15 January). […]
One important message was that the EU, and the West in general, had missed the opportunity provided by the Arab revolutions. The West didn’t mobilize, as it did for Eastern Europe, after the end of the Cold War, Davutoğlu argued.

I support restoring the Caliph at Istanbul - and the sultanate as well.
First of all - Johnny Turk knows how to deal with Arabs.
Second, this will give Islam GPS coordinates for our Trident subs.
Bring Back Byzantium!
I would not want to see Istanbul bombed. I want Constantinople restored as the capitol of Byzantium.
A ‘scapegoat’ is someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, but gets blamed anyways. Muslims are constantly attacking and murdering us, so they cannot qualify as ‘scapegoats’.
