I never called him a terrorist. Please read more carefully.
Also, since you obviously haven't read the link I provided, here's an excerpt from a speech he gave in 1999 in which he talks about... well, I'll let you be the judge:
"You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers. . . . Until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will suffer everywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria, . . . like in the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. . . . The time is not yet right. You must wait for the time when you are complete and conditions are ripe, until we can shoulder the entire world and carry it. . . . You must wait until such time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey . . . . Now, I have expressed my feelings and thoughts to you all—in confidence . . . trusting your loyalty and secrecy. I know that when you leave here, [just] as you discard your empty juice boxes, you must discard the thoughts and the feelings that I expressed here."
- dogma1138 10y agoSorry you just called them an "infestation", and him a radical Islamist. Terrorism and corruption charges in Turkey don't mean much, Erdogan has used this to demolish every political opposition, close newspapers, put anyone from judges to school teachers in prison and to cleanse the military which was the only organization with the mandate and ability to keep Turkey in the image that Kemal Ataturk envision.
- revelation 10y agoThat sounds like the Zionist Diaries. Or maybe it's that long missing one from Hitler himself?
- toyg 10y agoTbh it could come from any "revolutionary" pablum, simply because that's how you do it: put your avanguardist elements in place until conditions are right for the "big switch". Even legitimate parties in legitimate democracies follow this rulebook to reach and maintain power.
