Turkish Television: “Need a Weapon to Kill Christians? I will Give You One”

From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Thu, 2008-01-03 11:12

A quote from the German Catholic website Kreuz.net, 2 January 2008 [English translation here]

The well-known Turkish nationwide television station ‘Show TV’ aired on 8th, 15th and 29 November 2007 a new episode of the old series “Kurtlar Vadisi-Pusu” – The Valley of the Wolves. [...] The film is about the relationship between the state and four powerful Mafia families, which in the film control the economic life of the country.

The programme also mentions Christian missionary work and closely links it to organ trafficking, mafia and prostitution. Christians are shown as enemies of the people. The goal of Christians in the series is to defraud Turks and to weaken the national consciousness in order to divide the country among themselves. Further it is presumed that Turkish Christians ally themselves with foreign powers and make common cause to betray the Turkish people.

As a result, 29 November, for example, the script literally said: “Someone must be in a position to halt these people.” He continued: “As we have thrown out crusaders [from Turkey], we will also throw them out. If you have no weapon, I will give you one.”

More Religious Bigotry from Show TV

It reads eerily similar to the anti-Semitic propaganda disseminated by the Third Reich. Though I disdain comparing individuals and groups to National Socialism, as such comparisons are well worn paths, the Turkish edition of Mein Kampf is a bestseller in that country. Indeed, Jews are held in even more contempt by the Turks and Kurtlar Vadisi-Pusu than Christians.

According to Wikipedia,

According to Wikipedia, 99.8% of the Turkish population is Muslim. Do ordinary Turks really think Christians in Turkey are a threat? Of course, it's always helpful to have a group available to dump hate and blame on.

"Islam has bloody borders".....

So, are the EU elites still thinking of unleashing Turkey into the EU? There is nothing subtle about Islam's intentions. 24/7 somewhere in the world, the Islamicists clearly broadcast their intentions. History repeats itself, it's the 1930's again with Europeans as in the past putting their heads in the sand. This time around America can't save them.

As Samuel Huntington* observed "Islam has bloody borders"....look at the world map, anywhere Islam exists their non-Muslim neighbors are being brutalized from the Sudan to Indonesia to the Philippines.

*"Islam's borders are bloody and so are its innards. The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power" —— "The Clash of Civilisations?", original 1993 article in "Foreign Affairs" magazine.
