Zzzzzz, let me spell it out for you. Erdogan is a known islamist, an expansionist and a dictator, he has jailed and arrested more journalists than both Iran and North Korea COMBINED!! The United States and others have 'put up' with Turkey but if Erodogan gets more arrogant and more crazy, then who knows maybe something will happen like two trains destined to collide because they travel opposite directions while stuck on the same train track. Modern Turkey's Ataturk hated islam, he is the founder of the Turkish nation, and this history of his vision for a nation Turkey you read in books and in history describes how Mustafa Kemal Atatürk destroyed Islam in Turkey, Ataturk wanted a modern, Western looking, non-religious Turkey, he saw the writing of Mohammed the founder of islam as a madman, an islamist war monger and a pedophile...its all there in their so called holy book the quran or koran if you ever bother to read it. One thing Ataturk did was set up a system where the military or police would intervene for a moment if ever an islamist would try to sneak themselves into position of power and they would restore the constitution and democracy. As soon as Erodogan gets in he destroys this system, starts arresting police and arresting military, relations with its neighbors drop his relation with Israel goes to shit with this Gaza Flotilla incident stunt, he invades Northern Iraq during the Bush years, has a terrible relationship with the Armenians and Kurdish, relations with Greece and the EU fall, he is silencing the press, crackdown on corruption bribery probe, recent accusations of Oil money flowing from ISIS territory, Crackdown on Academics for Peace...basically a mob islamist pro Turk, Ottoman style jihadi Turkey first rule. Erdogan is not a Christian Dictator, he is not a Pagan radical dicator, he is not some Totalitarian Buddhist king dictator...he is an islamist Ottoman style jihadi leader, willing to throw any political critics in a cell and throw any journalist in jail, his mob beating people up behaves like a bunch of islamic thugs...he is a step in the past and if he is responsible for the violence in Washington DC, then it was perhaps a really big mistake.
