Turkish President Warns of War Between Islam and Christianity
The world may be heading “towards a war between the cross and the crescent,” warned Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a June 9 speech in Istanbul. Erdoğan was responding to recent measures Austria took against jihadism, namely, that the Austrian government plans to shut down seven mosques and expel up to 60 Turkish-funded imams as part of a crackdown on “political Islam.”
In reality, Erdoğan’s gripe is that Austria is resisting a war already raging — a demographic war. It’s a conflict the Turkish leader has been enthusiastic about and has encouraged. For example, after Germany and the Netherlands clamped down on pro-Turkish rallies last year, Erdoğan growled that “Europe will pay for what they have done.” Just prior to this, in March 2017, he expressed demographic-jihadist sentiments, saying to Turks in Europe, “Have five children, not three. You are Europe’s future.”
In this vein, prominent Turkish official Alpaslan Kavaklıoğlu proclaimed earlier this year that “Europe will be Muslim.” Likewise, Erdoğan has called Europe a “sick man,” presumably ripe for conquest. Unfortunately, he’s not all wrong, either. Fertility rates have plummeted to below replacement level throughout the Western world, resulting in a decline in its native populations. This has been used by statist politicians as a pretext for massive Third World immigration into the continent. “We need workers!” is the rallying cry (even though robots are poised to replace them).
