Dutch elections: Turkish minister claims 'holy wars will soon begin in Europe'

TURKEY has increased tensions with Europe after the country’s foreign minister said the continent is heading towards a holy war.

Mevlut Cavusoglu, 49, who has been part of Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s administration since December 2013, also stoked the tense relations with the Netherlands following their general election which took place yesterday.

Mr Cavusoglu fanned an already volatile situation when he said all the Dutch parties running for election shared the same anti-Islamic views held by Geert Wilders, who is head of the PVV, and so it did not matter who won.

The Netherlands' incumbent prime minister Mark Rutte successfully fended off the challenge of Mr Wilders who had stood on an anti-EU, anti-Muslim ticket.

Throughout the campaign Mr Rutte had steadfastly refused to work with Mr Wilders due to his views.

Speaking at a rally in the southern city of Antalya, Mr Cavusoglu said: “Many parties have received a similar share of votes. 17 per cent, 20 per cent, there are lots of parties like this, but they are all the same.

“Now the election is over in the Netherlands… when you look at the many parties you see there is no difference between the mindsets of Geert Wilders and social democrats in the Netherlands. They all have the same mindset... That mindset is taking Europe to the cliff. You have begun to collapse Europe. You are dragging Europe into the abyss. Holy wars will soon begin in Europe.”

Therein lies the difference between Islam and Christianity. With Jesus, we "surrender" to Him willingly because of love of Him, not "submitting" against our will because of fear.

"Muslims started their “holy war” almost 1400 years ago. Up until 1683 they were still trying to take Europe by force. Now they are simply walking in."

It's really crazy... We in the west live by laws and a moral code, (most of us anyway)... We don't shoot people walking down the street appearing to be minding their own business.. Islam, and Mexico as well, has wised up to the deal and now they know that as long as they are unarmed when they invade there isn't a damned thing we can do about it....

Here in the US we look the Mexican invader in the eye every day, and we say and do NOTHEN about it.. Even the COPS are not allowed to lay a hand on them...

Until they take up arms I guess there isn't much we can do about it...

It's just absolutely crazy... :(

So if one of the jihadi head lizards now calls it a “holy war,” can we start doing the same, finally?

My reply to “Let us in or we’ll kill you!” :

“YOU and WHO ELSE?”

To Jihadist Training Camps in the U.S. I say:

“ATTACK US & say hello to Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson as well
as Dub, our big old guard dog & Fang’s crossbow, shotgun
& rifles. Even Boo, our attack cat is ferocious.. and
you’ll have to crawl through the big old snakepit sinkhole
out front.”

The masses will continue to have no clue what is really going on...until gays are swinging from San Francisco bridge....

How man times do our enemies have to broadcast their intentions before we stop calling it a religion of peace?
