Smashing Islamist Arguments: "they have respect for other religious groups."

Smashing Stupid Arguments

1 is down and the other one will follow

It irritates me when people are defending those so called Islamists (the Muslimbrotherhood in Syria and Egypt or the AKP-government of Erdogan). So this is a  list where I smash their stupid arguments that make no fucking sense at all.

Sunni Islamists have respect for other beliefs.

Muslimbrotherhood

For the ones who support the MuslimBrotherhood in Egypt and always come up with this picture that muslims live peace by peace next to their Christian brothers, this picture is from secular muslims who supported the revolution and not of the muslimbrotherhood. Infact the members of the Muslimbrotherhood have been involved in several attacks on Coptic Christian churches.

But it's only Christians they hate, they have alot of respect for Jews. Like their oh so great leader Morsi once said.

oh wait they don't

Let's go to our next chapter, the Muslim Brotherhood has also a Syrian version. They are active in the so called moderate Free Syrian Army. That protests in a peacefull way for more democracy in Syria.

-Hey, Kubilay
+What ?
-It's civil war in Syria

Oh wait, I just received a message that they started a war against Assad, it seems that they're not so peacefull as I thought. But like their MuslimBrotherhood they destroy churches. What differs them from the MuslimBrotherhood is that they are more varied, they don't kill only Christians but also Shia Muslims.

AKP of Erdogan

It's not a big secret that Erdogan is a big admirer of the Ottoman Empire, you can see it because simply that he doesn't hide it but mostly because of his plans and ideas that mostly have a double meaning.

More and more laws and regulations are coming into the Turkish society that try to streamline conservative Islamic model. From warnings against public kissing in the subway in Ankara to limit the sale of alcohol. In addition, the Prime Minister assumes that he can let play his personal taste in decisions. If new buildings have to come Erdogan makes the final choice, and that apparently includes many public construction projects in a kind of neo-Ottoman style that not everyone agrees on.

And then you've got the double meaning of his projects, like the Ottoman barrack that Erdogan wanted to rebuild at the Taksimsquare. In 1909 a failed attempt to reinstall the Sharia law in the Ottoman Empire took place here. Or the third bridge at the Bospurus that Erdogan want to build, nothing wrong with the bridge ofcourse but the fact that he wants to name it Selim Yavuz is another story. Selim Yavuz was a pious Sunni who killed thousands of Shia Muslims (Alevis) in the 16th century, it's like building a new monument in Germany and name it after Hitler let's say.

For your information, Shia muslims (Alawites and Alevites) make 1/5 of Turkey's population.

Some extra interesting facts were that during Gezi protests the protesters were mostly Alevi and the 8 killed protesters were all Alevis (including Berkin Elvan). You can also witness how Sunni Muslims who support Erdogan are behaving against Alevis, insulting them on the street, spreading hate messages, attacking their neighborhoords or break any contact when a familymember marries with an Alevi.



Alevis have also a strong sense of brotherhood with President Assad of Syria, not in favour of Erdogan ofcourse...
