Turkey: Muslim Brothers' Protector

[Geee]

Gatestone Institute:

What an irony that the Muslim Brotherhood seeks the help of Christians to stop the executions of their leaders -- the same Christians they massacred en masse only three years ago.

 

What do Syria, Egypt and Libya have common? They are all at various degrees of cold war with Turkey, which they accuse of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and similar Islamist terrorists in their countries.

 

Turkey has never denied support, but claims that the Muslim Brothers, like Hamas, are just democratic elements in politics.

 

In a span of only 24 hours, on August 13, 2013, Muslim Brotherhood militias attacked and destroyed 52 churches in Egypt.

 

During the short-lived rule of their president, Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brothers, in well-documented incidents, threatened, attacked, kidnapped, tortured, beheaded and killed dozens, if not hundreds, of Christians, including a 10-year-old girl; and damaged and looted their property -- until, after mass protests, Morsi was overthrown in 2013.

 

During the Muslim Brotherhood's systematic massacres against Egypt's Christians, no Turkish leader was heard criticizing a single incident targeting Christians. After Morsi's downfall, however, they have never ceased loudly condemning the man who toppled Morsi, General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.
