  1. >Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavusoglu today discussed Sweden’s membership in NATO with American Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Reuters reports.

    >- Sweden must take further steps for Turkey to ratify the application, he says.

    >During an appearance, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also says that burning a Koran is a “hate crime that must be stopped”, reports TT

    >Mevlüt Cavusoglu also compared Sweden to Nazi Germany.

    >- The Nazis started by burning books, then they attacked religious gathering places, and then they gathered people in camps and burned them to achieve their ultimate goals. That’s how things like this start, he says, according to Turkish media.

    >The background to the statements is that yesterday the administrative court went against the police authority in the matter of Koran burnings in public places.

    >The police have previously stopped Koran burnings with reference to the image of threat, which the administrative court does not find sufficient grounds for restricting constitutional rights.

  2. Let me guess, Foreign Minister Cavusoglu, the same guy who threatened to attack Greece overnight last year, has once again spouted some anti-EU bullshit.

  3. The guy is good I must say, he successfully compares a book burning by some random guy in the country and a national book burning and ban by a state !

    If anything, forbidding to burn some particular books is closer to nazi Germany than a state not giving any opinion about it.

    Turkey trying not to be hostile to the European Union for an entire week (99% IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE)

    Turkey trying to pretend that the country is secular for an entire month without the government being offended each time the subject of Islam is bought up somewhere (LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE)

  4. So he’s saying they should ally with Sweden right?…because Turkey and Nazi-Germany signed the German-Turkish Treaty of friendship in 1941.

  5. The Ottoman Empire Armenian genocide.
    Why not have a Remembrance Day in Swedish schools memorizing the murder of over a million people! We are the humanitarian superpower after all?!

  6. Nazi Germany comparisons are more appropriate to Turkey, with exception that Nazi Germany became a democratic Germany facing its past and learning from history, Turkey did not.

  7. I felt off all day but I couldn’t point my finger at what it is. Now I know it. I haven’t been called Nazi all day. Thank god we solved that mystery.

  8. Sweden will just wait this out or even opt out completely, there is no support for any further concessions.

  9. Yes, freedom of expression and speech, traits of nazi Germany… lol!
    Turkey is very similar to Nazi Germany, they even use torture.

  10. Hey i am going to use Quaran as toilet paper but don’t worry i have Bible ready to replace it after i use all the pages. I am atheist so i have been banned from all paradiese of all religions anyway so i don’t give a hoot.

  11. Trying to join NATO has been a whole lot of fun, I must say. A great example of the “open door policy”! So now we’re Nazis, says a semi-dictatorship with a genocide they won’t admit in their baggage, as NATO leadership is ho-humming and looking at the ground.

  12. Hum.

    Then again, I really can’t see the reason for admitting something that is so obviously targeted at stopping Swedens road to NATO, no matter what the law says. Why make people angry and sad?
    The Quaran burners are extremists, idiots, most likely have ties to Mordor, and we should bloody well put that old law back that says you can’t defile religious objects. I don’t care one bit about the Quaran or any other religious book. But I do care about not making people angry and sad, just because you can.

  13. So a Russian agent burns a Quran in Sweden, and Turkey lose their fucking minds. China is continuing to commit ethnic cleansing and genocide on their Muslim minority population, and Turkey barely bats an eye? You all see how fake this outrage is right?

  14. Didn’t realize hanging around with Russians get’s you contaminated with twisted and alternate reality views. #BeWarned
