Nobody in Europe had better criticize Erdogan over this! Because that's against the law there, dontcha know.

On the other had, the other day Putin threatened to take back Constantinople.

What an upside down world. Once again I find myself loathing a NATO “ally”, and admiring NATO’s “enemy”.

TURKEY'S Islamist government has stepped up its war on Christianity by seizing all the churches in one city and declaring them state property.

In a swift response, President Trump seizes Mosques in Dearborn, Raleigh, and Boston. Reminds Americans he was for eminent domain......for a reason.
