The duly elected leader of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, seems to have survived a coup attempt spearheaded by members of his country’s own military that may have been alarmed by the Islamist direction their president is taking the country. But whatever caused it, the subsequent attacks on innocents at the hands of Turkish Muslims is a perfect example of why Islam is dangerous.
The coup didn’t appear to have lasted very long and some are even claiming that Erdoğan engineered it himself to steal even more power in an extralegal manner. But whatever caused the coup attempt, who ever was behind it, what occurred in the Kurdish and Alevis areas of Turkey shows how inhuman and untrustworthy Islamism is and why it is a danger to the world.
Firstly, if this was a legitimate coup attempt by the military, Erdoğan and his supporters had every right to oppose it. After all, as much as any westerner should oppose Erdoğan he was legally elected to lead the country.
Whatever the facts are around the coup, the world will find out soon enough as Erdoğan moves to purge officials, military leaders, members of the judiciary, and on and on.
But what happened during the coup, away from the battles with the military, apart from the attacks seen around government installations really shines the light on how evil Islam really is.
As Erdoğan’s forces were battling it out with police over the country’s seat of power, other cretinous Muslims were gathering together and attacking minority groups that were not involved in the coup in any way whatever.
So, even as bullets flew around government installations Turkish Islamists were also flooding into and attacking the oppressed minority Kurdish and Alevis communities.
Whatever is going on in Istanbul and the country’s capital of Ankara , it seems certain that the minority Muslim communities — the Alevis and the Kurds — had absolutely nothing to do with the attempt to oust the country’s increasingly Islamist leader.
And yet, all on their own, without any prompting or direction from the government, Turkish Islamists used the chaos as an excuse to kill minorities who had no part at all in the grater violence.
Now, imagine if, say, while members of Black Lives Matter were rioting in some big American city — as they are wont to do — a group of Christians gathered in another part of the city and began to kill Asians. Or Hindus gathered together to start killing Christians, or any group separate from the rioting gathered to launch attacks on any other segment of the community.
Well, the fact is, you can’t imagine it because it never happens. Only Muslims use such chaos to kill like this.
This is a perfect example of why Islam is illegitimate and a danger to the whole world. Muslims are fascists who will use any excuse to murder those with whom they disagree.
And these are the people that Obama and his liberal buddies are constantly apologizing for and further the sort of murderous people Obama wants to bring into the country by the hundreds of thousands.

Finally, this is a perfect time to remind one and all of some of the dangerous statistics found in a recent Pew poll that found the following frightening statistics about Muslims:
- 237 million Muslims feel that people who rejected Islam (and became apostates) should be executed
- 345 million Muslims feel that honor killings are justifiable
- Muslims aged 18 to 29 in western nations who feel suicide bombings are justified:
-42% of French,
-35% of British, and
-26% of American Muslims - 53% feel sharia is better than western laws
- 281 million Muslims say whippings, and cutting off of hands and feet is justified
- 289 million Muslims say stoning women is justified
