- The picture sent
shockwaves through the Turkish grassroots: A poor Egyptian
member of the Muslim Brotherhood, handcuffed by the Turkish
police, put aboard a Turkish Airlines plane to fly back to
Cairo, to be tortured and eventually executed. Is President
Erdoğan not a staunch supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood? Is
he not an eternal enemy of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,
who came to power after toppling the Muslim Brotherhood man,
former president Mohamed Morsi, a darling of Erdoğan?
- The
"mistake" was that the Erdoğan administration was
not expecting Hussein, so the immigration officers treated him
as just another illegal entry. He would not have been arrested
and extradited if the Turkish authorities had known he was a
member of the Ikhwan.
- False alarm. Erdoğan
apparently has not changed, after all.

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood member was deported by the Turkish
police back to Cairo, to be tortured and eventually executed. But
isn't Turkey's President Erdoğan a staunch supporter of the Muslim
Brotherhood and an eternal enemy of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah
el-Sisi? (Image sources: Elif Sogut/Andrew Burton/Getty Images)
The picture sent shockwaves through Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's grassroots: A poor Egyptian member
of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan in Arabic) handcuffed by
the Turkish police, put aboard a Turkish Airlines plane to fly back
to Cairo, to be tortured and eventually executed. Is President
Erdoğan not a staunch supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood? Is he
not an eternal enemy of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,
who came to power after toppling the Ikhwan man, former
president Mohamed Morsi, a darling of Erdoğan? Did Erdoğan not
freeze diplomatic relations with el-Sisi's Egypt?
