Trump Says that He is a Big Fan of President Erdogan while Turkey Persecutes Christians

By Julio Severo

The November 13, 2019 meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House provoked concern about the passivity of the U.S. government regarding Turkey persecuting Christians.

While some hoped Trump would say hard truths to Erdogan, instead he highly praised the Turkish strongman.

“I’m a big fan of the president; I have to tell you that,” Trump said of Erdogan while speaking at a press conference at the White House.

During the press conference, one reporter asked Erdogan about the plight of Christians who have suffered during the Turkish invasion in Syria.

“The ones remaining on the Syrian side of the territory will see their worship practices restored and revived in a special manner, they’re receiving health care; they’re receiving humanitarian aid in every aspect possible,” Erdogan responded.

Yet, a Christian pastor in the Syrian city of Kobane told a different story.

“Under the pretext of fighting against the Kurds, a lot of churches have been targeted and destroyed, and many Christians were forcibly displaced from their hometowns,” Pastor Omar Firaz told CBN News.

“We’ve had an economic relationship, a military relationship, a genuine friendship with Turkey. but we do not know who Turkey is anymore,” said Senator James Lankford (R-OK).

Perhaps Lankford does not know, but Christians, especially Armenian Christians, know very well who Turkey is.

One of the largest modern genocides of Christians was committed by Turkey. About 100 years ago in Turkey, an estimated 1.5 million Armenian Christians in 66 towns and 2,500 villages were massacred; 2,350 churches and monasteries were looted, and 1,500 schools and colleges were destroyed. Nevertheless, to appease Turkey’s wrath, Trump has avoided to say that the Armenian Genocide was a genocide. America does not recognize the Armenian Genocide because Turkish Muslims hate to hear about their crimes against Christians.

If Russian President Vladimir Putin had said “I’m a big fan of president Erdogan,” U.S. Bible teachers would immediately deliver apocalyptic sermons about Russia and Turkey in a Gog and Magog alliance against Israel.

The U.S. has every reason and power to condemn Turkey for centuries of persecution against Christians and no reason to worry: Turkey has no nuclear weapons against the U.S. But Turkey has 50 American nuclear weapons against Russia.

In the Cold War, the U.S. installed 50 nuclear bombs in Turkey to fight the Soviet Union, making both nations hijacked by strange interests. Because of this hijacking, the U.S. spent the last 70 years “hindered” from condemning Turkey about its genocide against Armenian Christians.

The Soviet Union does not exist anymore, but American nuclear bombs continue in Turkey threatening Russia.

When Russia tries better relations with Turkey, its objective is to neutralize the nuclear threat.

So Turkey, which is historically a genocidal threat to Christians, is not threatened by the U.S. and its massive nuclear power. On the contrary, the U.S. uses Turkey to threaten Russia.

Bible teachers should have some apocalyptic messages about the U.S. nuclearly empowering Islamic Turkey against Christians, and Russia is today the largest Orthodox Christian nation in the world. Armenian Christians who suffered genocide from Turkey were also Orthodox Christians.

It makes no sense for the U.S., the largest Protestant nation in the world, to use an Islamic nation with a history of Christian genocide to threaten an Orthodox Christian nation.

Why doesn’t the U.S. nuclearly threaten Islamic Turkey and Saudi Arabia, which are threats to Christians?

Turkey, U.S. sign deal to train, equip Islamists against Syria

By Julio Severo

The United States and Turkey signed, according to Reuters, an agreement on Thursday to train and equip Islamists to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Turkey will provide an equal number of trainers to work alongside their American military counterparts, said an official at the U.S. military’s Central Command.

Reuters said that the agreement is “to train and equip Syrian moderates to fight the Islamic State.” Yet, the same Reuters report said, “Turkey hopes the training will also bolster the weakened and divided Syrian opposition in their war against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.”

It is highly doubtful that these “moderate” Islamists will fight the Islamic State (ISIS). In fact, according to WorldNetDaily, “moderate” Syrian rebels trained in 2012 by U.S. military instructors later joined the Islamic State.

WorldNetDaily was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in Jordan in 2012 and 2013. Again, the same Jordan will train similar Islamists.

Why use an alleged war against ISIS to expand training for Islamists who eventually join ISIS? Reuters said that Saudi Arabia also offered a site for such training. Saudi Arabia is notorious for its total ban on Christianity. In contrast, Syria, whose president the U.S., Turkey and Saudi Arabia want to overthrow, has been known for its tolerance for a Christian community that has existed in Syria for 2,000 years.

U.S.-supported Syrian rebels have been known for atrocities against Christians in Syria.

It seems that a bigger Republican presence in the U.S. Congress has increased pressure to support these “moderate” Islamists fighting Assad.

Even though Obama, the Republicans and the mainstream media insist on calling these Islamic rebels “moderate,” Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan was forthright: “The term ‘moderate Islam’ is ugly and offensive — Islam is Islam.”

Actually, if the Syrian rebels were “moderate,” Saudi Arabia would never support them. William Murray, president of the Religious Freedom Coalition, said “the only way to stop the tide of Islamic terror in the Middle East and the world is to shut down the funding state of that terror, Saudi Arabia.”

Turkey would never train Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. According to WorldNetDaily, Turkey backs ISIS to eliminate Assad. And Pat Buchanan, a former Reagan adviser, told in WorldNetDaily: “Depose Assad, welcome Muslim Brotherhood.”

Because of the extreme violence, rapes and slaughters against Syrian Christians by Syrian rebels, CBNNews said in a headline: “Syrian Christians: “Why Is America at War with Us””

You can ask on behalf of these Christians:

Why Is Obama at War with Syrian Christians?

Why Are Republicans at War with Syrian Christians?

If the U.S. were serious about a real war against ISIS, it would not be helping Turkey and Saudi Arabia to overthrow Assad, the only Islamic dictator in the Middle East who is fighting ISIS and protecting Christian minorities.

If the U.S. were serious about a real war against ISIS, it would be helping to overthrow Islamic dictatorships in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

The U.S.-Turkey agreement to expand training of Islamists in Syria will only expand persecution against Christians.

What can you do? If you are an American Christian, you have a responsibility to speak up, because your tax money is being used to fund U.S. military trainers and their Islamist trainees against Syria. Because of these wicked policies, there is blood in the hands of American taxpayers. The Obama administration, with Republican assistance, makes your tax-money an accessory to the murder of Christians.

Contact right now your representative and senator and say: “I do not want my money shedding Christian blood in Syria! Please, stop it!”

Because this is an international crisis involving Syrian Christians and their families, international Christians can also help by contacting the members of U.S. Congress to condemn Turkey for its support for ISIS and Syrian rebels and condemn Saudi Arabia for its blatant anti-Christian ban.

You can contact the U.S. House of Representatives: http://www.house.gov/

You can also contact the U.S. Senate: http://www.senate.gov/

The U.S. Congress should also be encouraged to praise the Syrian government for being the Muslim government that most protects Christian minorities in the Middle East.

If the U.S. wants to defeat ISIS, it should sign an agreement with Syria. If the U.S. wants nothing to do with Syria, it should do as President James Madison said, “To cherish peace and friendly intercourse with all nations having correspondent dispositions; to maintain sincere neutrality toward belligerent nations and to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign partialities.”

If it is hard for a Christian America to support Syria for the sake of persecuted Christians, it should be impossible for her to support Turkey or Saudi Arabia.

Turkey was responsible for the worst genocide against Christians in the 20th century.

Saudi Arabia has a total ban on Christianity.

America should have a total ban on agreements with both radical Islamic nations.

Pope says equating Islam with violence is wrong

By Julio Severo

According to Reuters, Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence is wrong.

Pope and Turkish mufti

Francis, the leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, told reporters aboard his plane returning from a visit to Turkey that it was wrong for anyone to react to terrorism by being enraged against Islam.

Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, caused, according to Reuters, storms of protest throughout the Islamic world in 2006, when he made a speech that suggested Islam espouses violence.

Benedict said he had been misunderstood and apologized.

The Argentine pope has been trying to foster cooperation with ‘moderate’ Islam in order to work for peace. He said that ending poverty was crucial, because he thinks that poverty gives rise to “the recruitment of terrorists.”

In his visit to Turkey, Francis told the mufti twice that Christians and Muslims must ‘adore’ God.

While he was rebuking those who equate Islam with violence and fostering cooperation with ‘moderate’ Islam, it seems that he does not know a famous statement by Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan: “The term ‘moderate Islam’ is ugly and offensive — Islam is Islam.”

It seems also that he does not know that recently Erdogan and his government held an Islamic summit for Latin America, a mostly Catholic region now under the Islamic radar of Turkey.

Rising Turkish Menace: U.S. and NATO Ally Wants Islamic Advance in Latin America

Rising Turkish Menace: U.S. and NATO Ally Wants Islamic Advance in Latin America

By Julio Severo

The president of Turkey has re-written history by claiming Muslim explorers, not Christopher Columbus, discovered America.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, chief of America’s NATO ally, said November 15 that Islamic sailors found the New World in 1178. He said, “Muslims discovered America in 1178, not Christopher Columbus.” Turkey is the only Islamic nation in the NATO.

His theory — which is supported only by Islamic historians — came to light in a televised speech during an Istanbul summit of Muslims leaders from Latin America.

The summit was attended by 76 Islamic leaders from 40 countries. Latin America was represented by Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Suriname, Uruguay, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Ecuador, Jamaica and Haiti.

Turkish summit for Latin America

Erdogan brought up the supposed connection in a bid to establish a long history for links between Turkey and Latin America.

The summit’s main theme was “Building Our Traditions and Our Future.”

Apparently, Turkey is aiming its Islamic expansionism at Latin America, which does not have a significant number of Muslims. In fact, with Turkey’s aid, Muslims intend an international Islamic confederation.

In a previous conference dubbed “Antichrist Confederacy,” Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Chairman of the International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS), announced in Turkey:

“The Caliphate in today’s age must be established through a number of several states that are governed by Shariah and supported by both, the rulers and the people in the form of a federation or confederation and not as it was in the past.”

His announcement was published throughout the Muslim world, including CNN Arabic version. IUMS represents the largest body of Muslim scholars worldwide.

Before its summit of Muslim leaders from Latin America, Turkey organized the Eurasia Islamic Council meeting, focusing on Islamic expansion in Eurasia.

Yet, Turkish expansionism has never been under the radar of the U.S. and one of the main architects of the U.S. alliance with Islamic terrorist groups, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Ben Barrack has said,

“There is clearly a fixation on the part of Brzezinski that controlling Eurasia is key to U.S. dominance. However, what he’s clearly been missing is that Turkey is the country that has been seeking Eurasian dominance while NATO countries continue to view it as an ally.”

Brzezinski’s focus of concern is only Russia. To neutralize Russia, for decades he helped Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida. And today America is a backer of the two main sources for the Islamic terror in the world: Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

So while the U.S. and its NATO are focusing on Russia as an Eurasian threat, their only Islamic ally is expanding its Islamic dominance in Eurasia.

Erdogan and Obama

Not only in Eurasia, but internationally. Turkey has also organized the Summit of Muslim African Leaders, the Meeting of the European Muslims, Meeting of the Balkan Religious Affairs Presidents and the World Islamic Scholars Peace, Moderation and Common Sense. Turkey is working very hard for an Islamic confederation.

The only Islamic ally of the U.S. in the NATO is, according to Robert E. Kaplan, reconstructing the Ottoman Empire, with the U.S. military interventions’ aid. Kaplan said,

“Each of these United States military interventions occurred in an area that had been part of the Ottoman Empire, and where a secular regime was replaced by an Islamist one.”

And during the Ottoman Empire, the land of Israel was under Islamic control for three centuries. Christians also had their lot of suffering under this Islamic empire.

One hundred year ago, Turkey committed one of the worst Islamic genocides against Christians. It was the Armenian Genocide, which has never been recognized by supposedly large Christian nations, including the U.S., Germany and Brazil, which are apparently fearful of infuriating their ally, whose Islamic expansion in the past brought blood-shedding.

Even today, Turkey is involved in blood-shedding. According to WND, “Turkey has supported jihadist groups whose fighters later morphed into ISIS fighters,” who have been slaughtering Christians in Syria and Iraq.

WND also reported, “Turkey is now perhaps the biggest al-Qaida base in the world.”

What will Turkey’s expansionist plans, especially for Latin America, bring for the next years?

I do not know. But in its summit for Latin America, Turkey promised that it is “Building Our Traditions and Our Future.”

If you include Bible prophecies, the Turkish picture gets much darker.

According to WND, theologians, both Christian and Jewish, have long interpreted the Antichristian armies of Gog of Magog as coming from the land of Turkey. Some of these theologians are: Hippolytus of Rome (170–235), Moses Ben Maimonides (aka Rambam) (1135–1204), Nicholas of Lyra (1270–1349), Martin Luther (1483–1546), John Wesley (1703–1755) and Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758).

Do their interpretations about Turkey match the record and behavior of this Islamic nation? If so, will Turkey want to have its Ottoman Empire again? And will it want to invade Israel to reestablish its ownership over the land of the Jews?

The letters of the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation were addressed to the seven churches in Asia Minor — today Turkey. Other important Christian church that disappeared under Islamic Turkey is Hagia Sophia, in Istanbul (former Constantinople). Hagia Sophia was the oldest and largest Christian cathedral (from 537 to 1453) in the world. From 1453 to 1931, Islamic Turkey used it as a mosque.

Yet, if you thought that these Christian tragedies and Turkish Islamic expansionism are old stories, think again.

After 9/11, mosques began popping up across America, and Turkey, with Saudi Arabia, is one of the Islamic nations benefiting from the Islamic terrorist attack.

The government of Turkey is building a $100 million mega mosque, the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center in Lanham, Maryland. Would Turkey, or even Saudi Arabia, allow the U.S. government to build a $100 million mega Christian church in their lands?

Turkey’s Islamist Prime Minister traveled to the U.S. to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the mosque in 2013. Would Turkey allow a U.S. president to inaugurate a mega church in its nation?

Another important question is: Did Muslims discover America? There is no evidence of it today. But if America keeps its Islamic ally free to advance, it might be impossible to disprove Turkey’s claims in the future that Muslims conquered America.

Today, Turkey helps Islamic terrorist groups slaughtering Christians in the Middle East, wants to conquer America, Eurasia and Latin America and it is advancing unpunished, because it is a NATO and U.S. ally.

Apparently, Turkey will play a major Islamic role in the dark future threatening Christians, Jews, Israel, Latin America and the world.
