Turkey and Erdogan: Here comes the (real) caliphate
FOX NEWS Opinion ^ | July 21, 2016 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 07/21/2016 4:10:49 PM PDT by Fitzy_888

If today’s Western leaders possess one general trait, it’s a genius for self-deception. Insisting that Islamist terror has nothing to do with Islam, or that religion has no strategic impact, or that all human beings want freedom and democracy, amounts to declaring that up is down, right is left and night is day.

And midnight is coming for millions in Turkey, even as we insist that a dying flashlight is the sun.

And when Turkey invades Europe, he’s got millions of Muslims throughout Europe who will be firmly in his corner.

Ralph Peters, the author, had a violent meltdown today on FBN spewing pure hate toward Trump.

It was quite vile.

Can’t happen. The Turks are moderates and our allies in the world war against Islamic extremist terrorism. And a NATO member we must defend no matter what.

Turkey doesn’t have to invade Europe.

They will take control using the EU and NATO.

From the article...

“Erdogan wants power for himself, but he also, sincerely, wants it for his faith. He’s a true believer and a megalomaniac. His ambitions will ultimately lead Turkey, its neighbors and, quite possibly, its blind, bewildered allies into a succession of bloody tragedies, but for now he has real support among half of the population, those for whom the fever of faith is the ultimate intoxicant. He polls better than Hitler did. “Mein Kampf” is no match for the Holy Koran.”

Isn’t the Anti-Christ supposed to come out of that area?

Erdogan opened a 100 million dollar mosque within Washington D.C.’s range in 2015. He’s already claiming ground in America. And all with the assistance of his good buddy Hussein Obama.

We’ll take the 1% Christians left and leave the rest.

When Erdogan is finished with the Turkish Military it will nothing but an Islamic Allah Akbar Rabble

Peters has long been a strident anti-Trumper as well as anti-Hellry, just not as virulent on the latter.

I’ve never heard him say who he would prefer - perhaps JEB?

Quite disappointing considering his military background...

Things are heating up—in the end the Christians will win—Hagia Sophia will be a Christian cathedral again. It will all hit the fan in December-January of this year. The skys of Europe will be stained black from the smoke of burning mosques and Korans.
