Is this like the anti-Islamic youtube no one watched that caused Benghazi?

[dfwgator]

Yep.

[PIF]

Trained imam, Fethullah Gülen was noticed in Turkey some fifty years ago, promoting a philosophy which blended a mystical form of Islam with staunch advocacy of democracy, education, science and interfaith dialogue.

[dfwgator]

Horsecrap.

Every dictator needs an enemy and Erdogan has his. Erdogan engineered this whole thing soup to nuts, in order to consolidate his power.

[P.O.E.]

I thought the same thing. I mean, how does the military get defeated by citizens and the police?

[353FMG]

Firing squads will be busy.

[dfwgator]

Let the Show Trials begin.

This plus the fact that the coup plotters fled to Greece (as opposed to an Islamic country) has me concerned. They may have represented the more moderate faction as opposed to the more militant one.

The coup plotters? Two majors, a captain, and five privates? LOL.
