Turkey's Fake War on Jihadis
by Burak Bekdil

Although nominally participating in the international coalition fighting the Islamic State, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has covertly aided its advance.



In theory, Turkey is part of the international coalition that fights the Islamic State (IS). Since it joined the fight last year, it has arrested scores of IS militants, made some efforts to seal its porous border with Syria and tagged IS as a terrorist organization. Turkish police have raided homes of suspected IS operatives.

More recently, Turkey's Interior Ministry updated its list of "wanted terrorists" to include 23 IS militants, and offered rewards of more than 42 million Turkish liras (more than $14 million) for any information leading to the suspects' capture. But this is only part of the story.

On March 24, a Turkish court released seven members of IS, including the commander of the jihadists' operations on Turkish soil. A total of 96 suspects are on trial, including the seven men who were detained but released. All are free now, although the indictment against them claims that they

engaged in the activities of the terrorist organization called DAESH [Arabic acronym of IS]. The suspects had sent persons to the conflict zones; they applied pressure, force, violence and threats by using the name of the terrorist organization, and they had provided members and logistic support for the group.​

The release of terror suspects came in sharp contrast with another court decision that ruled for a trial, but while under detention, for four academics who had signed a petition calling for peace in Turkey's Kurdish dispute. Unlike the IS militants, the academics remain behind bars.

The Turkish government, which controls the judiciary almost in its entirety, relies on Islamist grassroots supporters of various flavors -- from Islamists and 'lite jihadists' to radicals.

Last year the Turkish pollster MetroPOLL foundthat one in every five Turks thought that theCharlie Hebdo attack in Paris was the natural response to people who insulted Prophet Mohammed [only 16.4% of Turks thought of the incident as an attack on freedom of expression]. Among the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) voters, the rate of approval of the attack was 26.4%; and only 6.2% viewed it as an attack on free speech. Only 17.8% of AKP voters thought the attack was the work of radical Islamists. Three-quarters of AKP voters thought Muslims were aggrieved by the attack; while as few as 15.4% thought the victims were the cartoonists who were murdered. Two-thirds of AKP voters thought attacks on Islam by Christian Crusaders were continuing.

Key IS suspects have been freed to appease the government's Islamist supporters.

The fact that key IS suspects are now free because the government may fear looking mean to its Islamist supporters only partly explains the appalling judicial rulings on jihadists and academics. "The suspects may be holding the Turkish government hostage ... What if they threatened the authorities that they would reveal the government support for their organization in the past? You normally don't walk free over such serious legal allegations," observes one western diplomat in Ankara.

Russia has been claiming that Turkey keeps supporting the Islamic State through trading the jihadists' oil, their main source of income. A new report claims that total supplies to terrorists in Syria last year was 2,500 tons of ammonium nitrate; 456 tons of potassium nitrate; 75 tons of aluminum powder; sodium nitrate; glycerin; and nitric acid. The report stated:

In order to pass through the border controls unimpeded, effectively with the complicity of the Turkish authorities, products are processed for companies that are purportedly registered in Jordan and Iraq ... Registration and processing of the cargo are organized at customs posts in the [Turkish] cities of Antalya, Gaziantep and Mersin. Once the necessary procedures have been carried out, the goods pass unhindered through the border crossings at Cilvegozu and Oncupinar.​

Turkey keeps playing a fake war on jihadist terrorists. At a March meeting with top U.S. officials, King Abdullah of Jordan accused Turkey of exporting terrorists to Europe. He said: "The fact that terrorists are going to Europe is part of Turkish policy and Turkey keeps on getting a slap on the hand, but they are let off the hook."

In fact, the Turkish government's secret love affair with various Islamist groups is not always so secret. In March, thousands of supporters of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a global Islamist group, gathered at a public sports hall in Ankara -- courtesy of the Turkish government -- to discuss the re-establishment of the Islamic caliphate. In his speech, Mahmut Kar, the media bureau chief of Hizb ut-Tahrir Turkey said:

Infidels who were enemies of Islam thought they buried Islam in the depths of history when they abolished the caliphate on March 3, 1924 ... We are hopeful, enthusiastic and happy. Some 92 years after ... we are shouting out that we will re-establish the caliphate, here, right next to the parliament.​

(Hizb ut-Tahrir, viewed by Russia and Kazakhstan as a terrorist group, defines itself as a political organization aiming to "lead the ummah" to the re-establishment of the caliphate and rule with sharia law.)

Turkey's official religious authority recently issued comic books to the nation's children telling them how marvelous it is to become an Islamic martyr.



Guess what else Turkey is doing while pretending to be fighting jihadists?

Apparently, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's declared political ambition to "raise devout generations" seems to have geared up. Turkey's Religious Affairs General Directorate (Diyanet), the ultimate official religious authority in the country, recently issued comic books to the nation's children telling them how marvelous it is to become an Islamic martyr.

One comic strip is a dialogue between a father and his son. "How marvelous it is to become a martyr," the father says. Unconvinced, the son asks: "Would anyone want to become a martyr?" And the father replies: "Yes, one would. Who doesn't want to win heaven?"

And this is the country its Western allies believe will help them fight jihadists? Lots of luck!

One of the sample of negative side effect of democracy is this sold man.......ISIS killed tens of our police and soldiers, killed hundreds of our citizens and tens of tourists by suicide bombers, hit tourism caused lost of tens of billion dollars...
But this traitor betrays his own country and say Turkey pretending war with ISIS...

 

[Serpentine]

Assad indiscriminately bombs Aleppo, murdering hundreds of civilians. And his "Mufti" calls to murder more.

Good guy indeed.

Terrorists have killed 100 civilians in gov areas, while hiding like rats in civilian homes, schools, launching rockets. They are responsible for every single civilian casualty.

BTW, where did the Mufti call for death of civilians? Why don't you prove it?

You repeat many times refuted arguments. Current carnage started from Assad slaughter of over 50 civilians in markets.

Then Assad slaughtered hundreds of civilians on purpose. He destroyed hospital on purpose. And his so called "Mufti" calls to slaughter more.

And add to this that Assad refused for cease fire in Aleppo.

P.S.

Assad (aka Syrian Baath) keeps arming ISIS (aka Iraqi Baath)

 

[ultron]

And add to this that Assad refused for cease fire in Aleppo.

There will be no ceasefire until terrorists are all dead.

 

[Serpentine]

And add to this that Assad refused for cease fire in Aleppo.

There is no ceasefire in Aleppo since terrorists were the first who broke it, by attacking Al-Eis and capturing it.

You repeat many times refuted arguments. Current carnage started from Assad slaughter of over 50 civilians in markets.

You didn't refute anything. The fact is, armed terrorists are hiding among homes and in schooles, shooting rockets on civilian homes. No country in the world accepts that and civilians will suffer the consequences of terrorists' presence.

Then Assad slaughtered hundreds of civilians on purpose. He destroyed hospital on purpose. And his so called "Mufti" calls to slaughter more.

I asked you to show where he called for 'slaughter' of more civilians and apparently you couldn't do it.

 

[500]

There is no cease

fire in Aleppo since terrorists were the first who broke it, by attacking Al-Eis and capturing it.

Wow, just wow.

So what you just said: rebels attacked foreign mercenaries in El Eis. And in return Assad barrel bombed markets killing dozens of civilians. Just wow.

Assad never respected the cease fire. Next day after the cease fire he captured Karmil and Shumayslah villages in Latakia and simultaneously contnued offensive in Ghouta in order to encircle Deir Asafir. . Assadists on twitter proudly bragged about it. Bombings also continued. Also map released by Russia did not include El Eis in cease fire zone.

But once rebels captured it Assadists started to whine that it is breach of cease fire. Pathetic clowns.

You didn't refute anything. The fact is, armed terrorists are hiding among homes and in schooles, shooting rockets on civilian homes.

Here assadist set firing position on civilian house:

There are plenty such examples.

I asked you to show where he called for 'slaughter' of more civilians and apparently you couldn't do it.

Here again what I said:

1) I past week Assad indiscriminately bombs Aleppo like crazy slaughtering hundreds of civilians.
2) In same exactly time Assad's so called "Mufti" calls to show more rage and kill even more.

True democrats don't believe in princes or nobility who abuse their offices to set themselves above the law. The Founders of the U.S. Constitution recognized this principle and enshrined it in their "Title of Nobility Clause" (Article 1, Section 9.)

Let's just cut this nonsense. You whined about ceasefire and I told you it was terrorists who broke it first. They also launched hundreds of rockets on civilian areas under gov control while hiding like rats among civilian homes.

Assad never respected the cease fire. Next day after the cease fire he captured Karmil and Shumayslah villages in Latakia and simultaneously contnued offensive in Ghouta in order to encircle Deir Asafir. . Assadists on twitter proudly bragged about it. Bombings also continued. Also map released by Russia did not include El Eis in cease fire zone.

Since when Al-Nusra was part of the ceasefire? In Al-Eis, Al-Nusra was accompanied by various other groups who were part of the ceasefire. In Latakia, Nusra dominates the battlefields and they are not a part of ceasefire. If it was only Nusra, it wouldn't breach the ceasefire.

As you can see in southern Syria where Nusra has minimal presence, ceasefire has held very well. So SAA has not breached any ceasefire.

Here assadist set firing position on civilian house:

Firing position on a civilian house is meant to defend the area, they are NOT launching dumb hell cannons on civilian areas in the city from that position. Stupid comparison at its finest.

You are being fooled by this idiot, for exsample the picture has nothing to do with being a ''islamic'' marthyr but with fighting for your own country against terrorists, and of course you are falling for this nonsense whether intentional or out of ignorance.
