Indignant: Turkey on Warpath over New Charlie Hebdo Erdogan Cartoon
Breitbart ^ | 28 Oct 2020 | CHRIS TOMLINSON

Posted on 10/28/2020 1:12:50 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

A Turkish government minister has called French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo “b*stards” and “sons of b*tches” over a new satirical cartoon showing President Erdogan in his underwear.

The frontpage cartoon of the magazine, which features Erdogan in his underwear looking at the bare bottom of a woman in an Islamic veil and bears the caption “in private he is very funny”, has earned the anger of the Turkish leader, who has now threatened legal action.

On Wednesday, the Turkish presidency’s communications directorate released a statement on the subject of the cartoon, according to Le Monde, saying: “The necessary legal and diplomatic actions will be taken against the said cartoon.”

Erdogan himself spoke about the caricature, saying: “I didn’t look at this cartoon (…) There is no need to say anything about these scoundrels.” He added: “My anger is not due to the despicable attack on my person, but to the insults against the prophet.”

Other Turkish politicians, meanwhile, overtly expressed their anger on social media over the depiction of the Turkish president.

Deputy Minister for Tourism Serdar Cam addressed Charlie Hebdo directly, saying: “You are bastards, you are sons of bitches.” While Istanbul politician Doç.Dr E.Sare Aydın stated: “Rag Charlie Hebdo‘s cover insults morals, ethics, and religion is even beyond hate speech, it is against human dignity.”

Fahrettin Altun, the Turkish government’s communications director, added: “French President Macron’s anti-Muslim agenda is bearing fruit! Charlie Hebdo just published a series of so-called cartoons full of despicable images purportedly of our President. We condemn this most disgusting effort by this publication to spread its cultural racism and hatred.”

The Norks condemned “Team America” when it was released, too.

Now that I think about it, did the Clintons condemn that German parade float with BJC groping the Statue of Liberty?

The cartoon is both hilarious and profoundly offensive, but you know what? It’s still just a cartoon, a doodle.
Take a Chill Pill, Erdogan, go high, to quote Big Mike.

He would have preferred a depiction of himself looking up the naked ass of a male turk and the caption to be 'in private he is quite gay.'

There is not a world leader who could withstand the invective that the trash people hurl at President Trump on a daily basis.

Remember what Erdogan’s pal Obamafuhrer said ‘ The future must not belong to those who slander the (paedophile) prophet of islam’.

Erdogan is a fat, weeping pussy. I estimate that before the decade is over that either America or Russia will be dismantling and savaging the pitiful rump state of the Ottoman Empire called Turkey.

Yeaahh, let’s France and Turkey fight.

The most useless members(?) of NATO with stellar (recent) military records.

Like watching two femboi faggots slap-fighting.

We could sell tickets...
