Typical hypocrisy

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is essentially threatening terrorist attacks if Europe doesn't give him what he wants. “If you continue to behave like this, not a single European, not a single Westerner will be able to take a step on the road safely anytime in the world,” Erdoğan said at a press conference adding: “We as Turkey are calling on Europe to respect human rights and democracy.”

Several points:

1. Note the overwhelming hypocrisy of threatening terrorist attacks if Western Europe doesn't "respect human rights". Not only is that self-contradictory, but please tell me which Western European nation isn't light years ahead of Turkey in both human rights and democracy.

2. Note that even the president of Turkey takes it for granted that when Muslims don't get their own way, they resort to terrorism. And he clearly believes they have a right to do so. Erdoğan and his ilk have no idea how to work with civilized humans. "Give me MJ own way or ... terrorism!" And he assumes this is the norm for how Muslims behave.

3. The left in the west will ignore this, as always, thus emboldening this kind of behaviour and guaranteeing more terrorism.

4. Erdoğan is just proving that Trump is right about limiting Muslim immigration.
