READ THIS HEADLINE, AND THEN READ IT AGAIN. Erdoğan: 'Turkey is bigger than Turkey, we can't limit ourselves'
What? What had I just read? Instead of going on, scanning more and more of the headlines, everything ground to a halt for about 5 seconds:
Erdoğan: 'Turkey is bigger than Turkey, we can't limit ourselves'
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that history assigned Turkey a mission to expand its borders.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. This is what Israel is always accused of, and an enormous deal is made of it.
Of course it brings up the Islamic project, to take over the whole world. No limits. For instance, North African countries, what are now Algeria and Morocco and Egypt and so on - those were Christian countries, I believe. And then India, there used to be no Islam in India. It took a lot of violence - a very bloody history of conquest - but now there is a lot of Islam in the Indian subcontinent.
I decided to send you the headline, and then move on.
But the next time someone accuses Israel of wanting to take over some area - like Gaza - bring up Erdogan, bring up that all over Europe there are Islamics claiming that Europe will soon be following Sharia. Takeover.
I’m not saying it’s okay - or not okay - for Israel to take over some area or another. I’m just saying, before you say it’s okay or not okay, please ensure you are equally against or for any other country or religion expanding beyond its current area.
If you’re enraged when you claim Israel wants to take over some area or other, it is only logical that it is essential that you are equally hopping mad about Erdogan.
For now, here is Erdogan at a news conference announcing “that history assigned Turkey a mission to expand its borders…. it is his country's destiny to expand its borders . . . “
BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE THIS POST. I’D SAY IT’S WORTH SPREADING.

I also have a gift for you. A kid’s video. On fundamental tenets of Islam.
I’m not giving it to you today.
Maybe I’ll send out that gift within a few days.
Okay, I’ll send it out before the end of the year.

Warring people everywhere you look. Why does my heart not yearn for world domination? What is wrong with me for wanting the predominant force in the world to be Godly love, not hatred and bloodlust.
At my advanced age, I was finally given the gift of faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is in Him, that I find truth, love, and mercy. Although I tried to find that deep feeling and recognition of faith on my own for many years, I was always unsuccessful. It just popped up into the core of my being one day unexpectedly. Thank you Lord for that gift which has changed my life forever.
I have never been one to welcome hatred for anyone, but the new me has etched those feelings in impenetrable metal, much harder than stone.
I don’t really believe it is the majority of people that wish to rule over others with an iron hand but apparently, the numbers that are willing to accept such tyranny, are sufficient to allow some people the encouragement to walk that path.
I pray the Lord will gather his legions of angels soon to end all the dark feelings of some people for world dominance. We are given such a beautiful creation and need to stop all the efforts to contaminate and other wise destroy it.
Elsa, I just saw this article - https://mises.org/power-market/netanyahus-seizure-syrian-land
Of course no way of contacting the writer/author to ask the question about Erdogan as you correctly pointed to.
