The President Erdoğan: Our Only Concern is Islam

The president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been on a Far East trip. He was in Jakarta, Indonesia and discussed the problems of Islamic world in National Security Academy.

Erdoğan stressed their only concern was Islam and they suffered from sectarianism.

Headlines from the speech of the President Erdoğan:

* The biggest problem of Islam is sectarianism. So called Islamist and Muslim Terrorists, take advantage of that problem while perpetrating hate crimes.

* We don’t have a problem about Sunnism, Shiism or different religious sects. Our only concern is Islam. We cannot accept people to cast doubt on Islam.

 “Western world isn’t sensitive”

Erdoğan said Islam suffers from Syrian civil war and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS):

* They try to imply that Turkey supports ISIS. Western and other world countries aren’t as sensitive as Turkey.

* We are deeply affected by discrimination against Muslims in Europe.

 “There are Muslims who defend atheists”

* There are Muslims who defend atheists during our struggle against terrorism in our country since they have different religious sects. We can see that.

* They are so called Muslims since they defend atheist and terrorist organizations. That’s why, we should be alert against them. (HK/BD)
