- Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan clearly sees Turks living in the West as
a spearhead of Islam.
- "Yes, integrate
yourselves into German society but don't assimilate
yourselves. No one has the right to deprive us of our culture
and our identity", Erdogan told Turks in Germany as early
as in 2011.
- This assessment of
Milli Görüs, however, does not seem to bother Danish
authorities, who appear to see no problems with their cities
becoming Islamized by the Turks. How many more mosques will it
take?
Turkish
President Tayyip Erdogan clearly sees Turks living in the West as a
spearhead of Islam. This year, he told Turks living in the West:
"Go live in better neighborhoods. Drive the best cars. Live in
the best houses. Make not three, but five children. Because you are
the future of Europe. That will be the best response to the
injustices against you." (Photo by Gokhan Sahin/Getty Images)
"Islam cannot be either 'moderate' or 'not
moderate.' Islam can only be one thing," Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on November 9. "Recently the concept
of 'moderate Islam' has received attention. But the patent of this
concept originated in the West... They are now trying to pump up
this idea again. What they really want to do is weaken
Islam..."
Erdogan is working on strengthening Islam in the
West, something he does, among other ways, by building Turkish
mosques in Western countries. It is hardly surprising that he does
not want the West to "weaken Islam", but at the moment
there seems little risk of that happening. The establishment of
Turkish mosques in Western countries appears to be proceeding apace
with very little opposition. Conversely, building Western churches
in Turkey is inconceivable.

- All people born in
British Mandatory Palestine between 1923-1948 (today's Israel)
had "Palestine" stamped on their passports at the
time. But when they were called Palestinians, the Arabs were
offended. They complained: "We are not Palestinians, we
are Arabs. The Palestinians are the Jews".
- After invading Arab
armies were routed and the Arabs who had fled the war wanted
to return, they were considered a fifth column and not invited
back. The Arabs who had loyally remained in Israel during the
war, however, and their descendants, are still there and make
up one fifth of the population. They are known as Israeli
Arabs; they have the same rights as Christians and Jews,
except they are not required to serve in the army unless they
wish to.
- "The
Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a
Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle
against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality,
today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians,
Syrians and Lebanese." – PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen,
interview in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, March 1977.

In an op-ed in the Guardian on November 1,
2017, ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Balfour
Declaration, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas
called on the UK to "atone" for the century of
"suffering" that the document allegedly wrought on the
"Palestinian people." Abbas reiterated the claims he has
been making since 2016, to justify a surreal lawsuit he has
threatened to bring against Britain for supporting the
"creation of a homeland for one people [Jews], which, he
asserted, "resulted in the dispossession and continuing
persecution of another."
"Palestinians" were the Jews who lived,
along with Muslims and Christians on land called Palestine, which
was under British administration from 1917 to 1948.
