Cenk Uygur hosts another talk show name The Young Turks
The name sounds cute and energetic. It's not. It is also a reference to The Young Turks, a groups of Ottomans who sought to reform the Ottoman Empire/Caliphate. They essentually ran the Ottoman Empire during the first World War. Not only did they do a horrible job, but they also scapegoated Armenian Christians for their failures. (As if Armenian Christians made Enver Pasha invade the Russian Caucuses in winter!) This led to the genoicide of Armenian Christians, as well as generalized Muslim retribution against Christains and Jews, who were seen now as pro-British French and Russian.

I don't know if he wants a restored Ottoman Empire or Caliphate. At best, this would put him in league with the "Moderate Islamists" of the Turkish AKP (Justice and Development Party), who play Mensheviks to the Bolsheviks of the Muslim Brotherhood. Either way, he knows teh Jihadi goals of the Muslim Brotherhood and has spent the last week covering for them.
