Islamic supremacists routinely try to force Westerners into believing that violence has nothing to do with Islam, even though the 1400-year connection between the two is as plain as the nose on anyone’s face, and plainly stated doctrines in the Quran and Hadith to back up the connection. It is also well known that not all Muslims believe in violent jihad, but enough do to warrant concern and give the leaders of Western countries the responsibility to protect their citizens from jihad terror.

Most Westerners know about violent jihad as it pertains to expanding the House of Islam, although some prefer to fool themselves, or otherwise pretend not to know about this so as to avoid being called “Islamophobic.” It’s a dangerous game of identity politics and manipulation that has gone on far too long, to the detriment of the West.

In an absurd news report, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “slammed his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron for using the expression of ‘Islamic terrorism.'” Violence has always been instrumental in expanding Islamic domains; this is evident in Islamic history as well as in the global treatment of persecuted Christians and minorities today.

“I told him that the meaning of Islam is peace. How can you combine the words, peace and terror, by using the expression of Islamic terrorism?” remarked the Turkish leader.

Erdogan’s claim is particularly absurd coming from a country which has been known to support the Islamic State.
