Of course Recep Erdogan is a lying turd, but that’s part of the Islamic fundamentalists agenda to lie and obfuscate the truth, done with the hope of keeping the West off guard. Though the methods differ, Islamic fundamentalists like Turkey’s PM, Recep Erdogan, the OIC’s Ekemeleddin Ihsanoglu and Hamas’ Khaled Mashaal, all represent similar ideologies that contain similar objectives. The promotion and spread of Islam and ensuring it obtains a protected status above all other religions and ideologies throughout the world, is something that all three of these Islamic fundamentalists share in common.
