(Ankara) Some of you may have noticed that the Turkish Prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been really vocal of late. Well, it's all down to the fact that on Sunday the country goes to pick its new President.
Which helps explain why Erdoğan has been going well out of his way in which to capture the Islamist vote.
He's condemned Israel for, basically, existing, he's attacked people physically in the streets (but only when surrounded by his goons) and verbally. He's spent a fortune on building mosques (yeah, keep the Muslims happy, build them another mosque). He's openly attacked the Americans, Egypt and EU. And he's kept very quiet about ISIS. (Makes you wonder how so many Turks are amongst the ranks of ISIS and how they are doing so well.)
Which will all go to help him garner the votes of those idiots who feel that Muslims around the world can only be victims and so vote for the Pocket Dictator to become the next President of the Turkish Republic which, no doubt, will under his leadership become an Islamic state. The last time somebody used such tactics, the world was at war not long after.
