Turkey went from staunch secular republic to Islamist hellhole in the blink of an eye.
CAIRO — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continued to make threats against Israel on his arrival in Cairo last night, resulting in a rapturous reception by the crowds. He was surrounded by Egyptian supporters after disembarking from his plane at the airport.
Using a prepared amplifier system, Erdoğan spoke to the crowd in Arabic, saying, “Salaam aleikum, Egypt and Turkey are one. Peace to the Egyptian people.”
Erdoğan was received by Egypt’s acting Prime Minister Essam Sharaf and his wife.
The welcoming crowd included many members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which supports Hamas. Supporters along the road into Cairo carried Erdoğan’s picture and shouted, “Egypt and Turkey will together become an Islamic Caliphate”, and “Erdoğan, who angers Israel will liberate Palestine like Saladin.”
