Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed reporters Sunday in Istanbul before departing on a visit to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.
He says: “No one can expect the Islamic world to remain unresponsive after the humiliation Muslims suffered with the restrictions at the Noble Sanctuary.”
Earlier this week, Israel installed metal detectors at the shrine in response to a deadly attack by Arab gunmen there which killed two Israeli policemen. The metal detectors are perceived by the Palestinians as an encroachment on Muslim rights and have led to protests in the Muslim world.
Erdogan called on Israel to remove the detectors in a phone conversation with his counterpart Reuven Rivlin on Thursday.
Humiliation? Restrictions? What? Where? How? Do they mean to say we should allow weapons etc. Without control things like this could happen again. But that’s exactly what they want.
This is out good Nato freind. After all Turkey, Erdogean oh represents an ideal of what a democracy should be. Only Russia and Putin our non Nato friends are evil.
With enemies like this who needs freinds? No surprise from a filthy muslim. May G-d smite them with slow painful deaths. Feh feh feh.
Israel is playing w fire with a billion Muslims all over the world. The question isnt whos right. Its how many people theyre ok to slaughter for it.
What “crisis?!?! ” metal detectors are a crisis?!?! How is anyone falling for this nonsense?!
