If All 'Religions' Practice Killing; Where're the Christians & Jews Doing It? And Turkey's Erdogan Now Dictator

4-18-17, FrontPage -- Some say people are quick to chide Muslims for terrorism when in fact the terror problem cuts across religious lines. Clearly all of this talk about terrorism must be a cloak for bigotry. However, if people were truly concerned with eradicating terrorism they would condemn it wherever it’s found; the fact that they don’t exposes their hypocrisy. 

Does the Quran Command Beheading? 
Sep 3, 2014 - The beheading of Steven Sotloff and James Foley are not isolated incidents. The Islamic book 'Quran' expects unbelievers [aka infidels anyone who isn't Muslim] to be beheaded. More here

The “double standard” accusation is a serious one that was likely intended to disarm Westerners who are notoriously sensitive about treating others with bias. But is there really a double standard in the way we perceive Muslim violence compared to other kinds? Yes, there is; each time a Muslim terror attack occurs, journalists attempt to lead the public through several 'hoops.'

1. We must not jump to conclusions that it's another Muslim terror attack - ignore that the perp is hollering 'allah akbar!' - often they're referred to as 'Asian.'
2. When it turns out that he/she is a Muslim, the media wonders if their religious affiliation might have been incidental to the attack or mental illness is involved.
3. Their violent killing may be the result of retaliation stemming from stories about head scarf/sack "hijab" snatchings (that usually turn out to be hoaxes) or Muslims getting dirty looks in the street. It isn’t even necessary to find any actual incidents of backlash after an attack because the fear of a backlash, not the backlash itself, is the real story.
4. Then reporters begin to ask how the 'right-wing' [conservatives; non Muslims] might “exploit” the story. This serves as a warning that taking action to stave off civilizational demise is somehow letting the terrorists win.   

The double standard is that no other kind of terrorist attack is reported this way. The argument that all of these attacks have proportional counterparts committed in the name of other faiths is outrageous! Lutherans represent the largest religious group in Sweden, there has never been a Lutheran terrorist attack in that country or any other. Likewise there are no Russian Orthodox suicide bombers. There is no Protestant or Anglican performing mayhem and murder such as the Islamic terror groups: alQaeda, Taliban, Hamas, Boko Haram, & ISIS just to name a few of the Muslim terror groups..

​Yet Islamic terror-deniers never tire of trying to draw some kind of false equivalence between Muslim terrorism and other kinds, no matter how much of a stretch it is. They often deny or downplay Muslim terrorism, or they assume that every white terrorist is both Christian and religiously motivated, or they blame Christians for Muslim terrorism. 

It’s true that not all Muslims are terrorists. However, there is an absurdly high proportion of terrorists who are Muslim! Those who choose not to see it are willfully blind. More here

4-16-17, ​Turkey's Vote Makes Erdoğan Effectively a Dictator 
4-17-17, The NewYorker -- The Turkish national referendum that effectively ended democracy in the country and made President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Sultan? Dictator? Head of the Islamic Caliphate?

Turkey: The Caliphate Of Sultan Erdogan | The Huffington Post
Aug 13, 2016 - The moment I saw the face of President Tayip Erdogan after the July coup attempt .... as a leading nation of the Islamic world and would be one of the biggest threats ... A member of the Kurdish party, a few hours after the coup attempt said. “How democratic a government is, is proven from the way it deals with a failed attempt of coup and those responsible of it.”  This statement represents common sense in a democracy; but unfortunately this is something we don’t see in a country that looks more and more like a caliphate with a powerful sultan.
