Several Middle Eastern media broke the news that unrest has sparked in Turkey with demonstrations erupting denouncing Erdogan after Turkish citizens captured ISIS operatives in Turkey in which Turkish security forces released the terrorists and attacked the civilians who turned them in:
This confirms what Shobeat.com reported as far back as March, that there are ISIS “training centers in Orfa, Ghazi Antab and Antakia (Antioch) set up by the Turkish government for more terrorists to be sent to Syria.”
Confirming our findings, this week, the World Tribune discovered that “the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has acknowledged significant recruitment of Turkish nationals by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Officials have told Turkey’s parliament that at least 1,000 Turks were fighting with ISIL in Iraq and Syria. They said the Turks, offered lucrative salaries, were recruited in mosques, schools and even from the security forces.”
In addition, Agence France-Presse (AFP international news agency) also confirmed that “ISIL is recruiting throughout the region, and Turkey is no exception” . The figure was released in wake of allegations by the parliamentary opposition that Turkey was being used for ISIL recruitment and training. The opposition cited videos that showed purported ISIL fighters at a celebration outside Istanbul in late July.
Turkey has long been accused of tolerating ISIL as part of efforts to maintain the war in neighboring Syria. Opposition sources said Turkish intelligence facilitated the supply of fighters and weapons from Iran through Turkey and to Syria.
“The Justice and Development Party has shut up when faced with the ISIL terrorist organization, and still says nothing about it,” opposition leader Faruk Logoglu said on Aug. 4.
So far, the government has not responded to demands to disclose ISIL activities and whereabouts. Instead, Erdogan and his aides have blamed NATO for not supporting to help control Turkey’s huge border with Iraq and Syria.
In Istanbul, Turkey a Caliphate nostalgia for the Ottoman Empire has been on the rise as of late. The Turkish newspaper Today’s Zaman had this to say:
“Therefore it is no coincidence to observe that some of the followers of Erdoğan believe he is a caliph who seeks to resurrect the Islamic Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire. It is no coincidence that Erdoğan’s target of “The Great Turkey” is intended to be completed in 2023 …”
But Erdogan’s support of the ISIS is easy to explain, even though the ISIS declared a caliphate in southern Turkey which seems as a no threat to Erdogan. He is silent because he sees an opportunity since Turkey needs the ISIS to dismantle nationalistic governments then to later consume them to create its Sunni Axis and its Ottoman dream.
Turkey’s master plan is to eventually sacrifice someone in its little ISIS pawn in order to declare itself as the supreme Caliphate taking all under its neo-Ottoman umbrella which will also include an alliance with Iran. Turkey’s brilliant plan is that it needs the ISIS to dismantle the Levant while using wealthy Arabs who support ISIS to aid the Caliphate cause while using the very ISIS to even turn on the Arabs themselves. Turkey then will execute a double-whammy plan using its non-Wahhabist Sufi version of Islam that is neutral towards Shiite Iran, to unite both Sunni and Shiite forces to finally bring about peace amongst Muslims in the region and by this self-fulfilling the Islamic view that a Mahdi will come and bring 7 years of peace after 7 years of turmoil.
Only Turkey has such a model and a major regional presence with significant global standing and respect. The Iraqi model of the Caliphate has set the stage for a Caliphate competition stemming from Turkey. Erdogan wants the entire Middle East. Why else would Erdogan be making statements against Egypt objecting to the Egyptian dismantling of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Turkey and Iran are steeped in their hatred not only towards Israel, but also Saudi Arabia, which brought such divide between Sunni and Shiites. Saudi Arabia will be coming to an end and will be punished by the reviving beast as God will ordain it (Revelation 17:17). It was Saudi Arabia that sparked anti-Semitism from the advent of Islam until now. Arabia (Sheba and Dedan) despite that it will no longer see Israel as a threat and while it stands by when Turkey invades Israel (Ezekiel 38), it will eventually be demolished by Iran (see Elam in Isaiah 21) and Mecca and Medina will go up in flames (Isaiah 34).
Zechariah 9 confirms the final battle between Israel and Yavan (often translated as Greece), which is Asia Minor (see Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible commentary). Messiah will head to that direction of Turkey (v14) and defeat it and victory will be to The Lord.
Turkey in Asia Minor cannot be ignored; it was the center of the Grecian Kingdom, the cradle of Christianity with its Seven Churches, as well as it was the eastern leg of the Roman Empire. It sits as a hub between East and West and plays the number one candidate in peace negotiations in the region. When it comes to animosity towards Israel and the Church, Turkey is the epicenter with more Christian blood on its hands then any other nation on earth.
Anyone betting on Turkey as a bulwark against jihadist animals slaughtering Christians and anyone else either not Muslim or not "Muslim enough" is making a losing bet. They may manage keep it down to a dull roar in their own country, but they have no problem with letting slaughter pave the way for their abitions elsewhere and they do have ambitions beyond the current borders of Turkey.
Nearly a century of nonsense taught to Christians in the US has blinded them to the reality that Constantinople, now Istanbul, is the city on seven hills the beast rises out of.
JMHO
ISIS slowly infecting NATO via Turkey?
Turkey wanting to become a member of the EU?
Who would’ve thunk it?
ISIS slowly infecting NATO via Turkey?
Turkey wanting to become a member of the EU?
Turkey refusing to lend a helping hand to Christians and Yezidis being massacred within a stone’s throw from its border?
Who would’ve thunk it?
They want a new Ottomon Empire to rise up.
I remain somewhat unconvinced of this. Since when did Islamists need Turkey to rear their ugly heads? al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood...
Did any of those need Turkey?
Did ISIS/ISIL need Turkey?
At some point a grand design was bound to rear it’s ugly head, and it’s not apparent to me that Turkey caused all this.
What is apparent to me is that Obama sent in weapons and funding. These radical groups are problematic enough on a shoe-string, but give them operating cash and weapons...
Perhaps Obama can blame this on Bush also.
That tells you all you need to know about who Obama considers allies.
If so, that probably means that Qatar is behind it, pulling Turkey’s strings still.
A free and independent Kurdistan could be carved out of Turkey and Iraq.
And yet another reason that Obama is reluctant and slow to move against ISIS. He and Erdogan are using much the same technique in taking over their countries.
The Middle East is still gushing blood trying to fill the vacuum left by the demise of the old one.
Remember that Turkey would NOT let the 3ID invade Iraq from the north..
bttt
At least the Ottomans kept the Arabs in line.
Not yet, but before too long, the iron fist in the velvet glove as far as the countries once under the thumb of the Ottoman Empire are concerned.
Look at the bright side. Turkey still claims it's the only one who has the right to control and protect Islam's "Holy Places" so think how cooperative with the West the Saudis are going to be when their Wahhabi sect is branded heretical by Turkey.
Did we protest or did we kiss their a$$es in deference or did we build them a mosque?
Didn’t Ambassador Christopher Stevens meet with a Turkish diplomat a half hour before he was murdered? Did Obama help form ISIS, using Benghazi to arm them first in Libya? WHY HASN’T ANY ONE OF THE 37 AMERICANS OR EMPLOYEES OF OBAMA ON THE GROUND IN BENGHAZI BEEN INTERVIEWED BY OUR CONGRESS UNDER OATH?
I thought King Abdulla was over the Holy Places of Islam? I know he and Zero met on several occasions and I think the King Abdulla has made a lot of the decisions put forth by our Error of a Leader.
We lost 400 surface to air missiles in Benghazi and it was reported they were in the hands of terrorists...so I believe YES THEY WERE ARMING ISIS/ISIL, whether intentional or not is the question? Stephens was suspected of importing guns....what for? to sell? to use? to arm Muslim Brotherhood of whom many are ISIS now.
