Because terrorism could only be caused by Islam. And the fact that it is NOW done by Islamic idiots means we should ban Islam, whereas when it was Catholics in the 80s, there was nothing inherently wrong with Catholicism. And lets say we do outlaw Islam. Ownership of a Koran is now a crime. Everybody must show up for the monthly bacon ball and eat at least 3 slices. Mandatory lunches at high noon during the month of Ramadan. We'll even have the Spanish Inquisition to make sure everybody obeys. Do you really think terrorism will decrease?! | ||

Well he is advocating getting rid of every Religion all across the world not me. And also being an arrogant prick calling religion "oudated crap", calling all religious people "peasants" and then even comparing religion to sexism and racism. | ||

I reported his post for being utter drivel already. I didn't report yours. Just pointed out the main problems in that kind of thinking. | ||

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat Party and its allies were enemies of Turkey, and told Turkish voters in Germany not to vote for them in next month's election. "I am calling on all my countrymen in Germany: the Christian Democrats, SDP, the Green Party are all enemies of Turkey. Support those political parties who are not enemies of Turkey," Erdogan said. source: www.reuters.com I feel that's fairly extreme for him to go that far. Not sure if people with turkish origins living in Germany will listen to him but he's basicly telling people to neither vote for the ruling party-bloc nor the opposition the way I understand it? I don't think he'd be a fan or DieLinke or FDP either. Because I don't see DieLinke being chummy with Turkey either and FDP is basicly the third party-wing of Merkels CDU when it comes to the reality of how coalitions will be build... so all that's left would be AfD or am I forgetting something? | ||

No, thats all of the relevant parties. However I cant let this opportunity pass to kick the FDP: They are infamous for basically taking a fringe topic where there is a silent majority (who however has more important issues), but a vocal minority who cares about this topic a lot. Recently, their leader suggested to "accept the status quo in crimea when talking to putin". They do not care about ukraine at all, but saw this as a chance to score amoung the pro-russians. There other such examples from earlier elections aswell. I would not be surprised if they do the same to attract pro-Erdogan voters. | ||

He clearly told his supporters to vote for Die Linke, FDP, AfD or DIE PARTEI - none of them were included in his list. =P | ||

It's not about the parties, it's about the stability of the country and him trying to play strong by interfering with elections. | ||

Ma bad you get my words as like I was arrogant, but in reality it was just an honest opinion. My claims has lots of knowledges it based on, but i'm not entirely sure i can post it here without offending belivevers (it's like they are special group of people you cannot argue with) or makind mods mad and getting banned eventually. I'm okay with religion when it comes to cultural aspect, but not when it comes to real life influence in a different - sometimes unpredictable way, but again, it's just me. And ofc global society need more fixes on different levels, I just don't understand why some topics keeps forbidden from constructive criticism and discussions, that's not the most efficient way to solve the problems. I hope I said nothing extrodinary. | ||

If not then he just mentioned all the parties that criticised Turkey for not letting members of parliament visit. I think so too, hence me saying that I don't think DieLinke would be all chubby with him either. They also strike me as a party that would be really harsh on Turkey just that they don't matter because opposition and all | ||

Relations has been slowly souring after the previous slow EU approach was cancelled. They are a trade partner, don't do too extreme stuff in most cases. Though since they are slowly sliding away being a trade partner is harder due to the border controls. Can no longer order things from a Turkish supplier and expect it to show up on time, have to have a storage somewhere in EU to handle it being stuck in customs for a week or two. Best guess from me is that we would have the same discussion regarding the US and Trump if he somehow got to stay in power after his max two terms. Turkish people are decent people and it is a nice vacation spot due to the much lower prices and relative proximity. No real reason to hate on them in general even if we don't like their current direction. We can sever relations if they hit NK levels. | ||
