Erdogan IS a sponsor of terrorism:

LIST ERDOGAN’S TURKEY AS STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM; VOID U.S. ALLIANCE WITH TURKEY

I refuse to be drawn into a needless war with Russia over Erdogan's criminal behavior!

I am unsure about Turkey's President, but getting pretty sure that someone else here is certifiably insane. :roll:

No, but that doesn't mean I'm about to throw conspiracy-nut histrionics about the start of World War III. ★■◆● happens, countries get pissed at each other for a while, but then third-parties pull some back-room diplomacy and things go back to pseudo-normal.

No, but what are your thoughts on his religious upbringing? His childhood, not his later years.

I don't have informed thoughts on Obama's religious upbringing. Wikipedia says his family was generally non-religious, though he did go to a Catholic school for a time in Indonesia. Does his time in Indonesia bother you? I'm honestly curious.

In my opinion, no, it shouldn't. But if I had to hazard a guess at your thoughts, I think you think Obama's time in a muslim country has left him unable to correctly view islam as an existential threat to western society. Is that close?

I don't want to guess at your thoughts, though. You can spell them out! I won't call the thought police, really!

You're right. He doesn't view islam as a threat to secular western civilization- in spite of all of the evidence to the contrary.

Unreformed islam cannot coexist with other religions or systems of government. As written in its own texts- in the koran and in the teachings and pronouncements of its clerics- that which is not under the law of sharia (dar al islam) is "dar al harb" or under the "territory of war."

It ticks me off no end when I see people driving around with those "Coexist" bumper stickers because it shows how ignorant (willfully or otherwise) they are of islam. The star and crescent might as well be a swastika because of islam's intolerance and supremacist ideology.

what evidence again? Can you cite one instance anywhere in the Western world that has shown Islam to be anything other than a discordant voice amongst a tradition of Christianity and/or European culture? That is hardly a threat of any sort.

please, spend a lot more time studying comparative theology before your next instance of making an ass of yourself. You are broadly ignorant and insist on displaying that ignorance daily.
