Erdogan tells Sweden it won't back NATO bid after Quran burning outside its embassy in Stockholm

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Sweden on Monday that it should not expect Turkey's support to join NATO

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Sweden on Monday that it should not expect his backing to join NATO following the burning of the Quran outside Ankara's embassy in Stockholm.

"Sweden should not expect support from us for NATO," Erdogan said in his first official response to the act by an anti-Islam politician during a protest on Saturday that was approved by the Swedish police despite Turkey's objections.

Swedish leaders roundly condemned far-right politician Rasmus Paludan's actions but defended their country's broad definition of free speech.

The protest further jeopardised Sweden's attempt to join NATO in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Convicted far-right leader Rasmus Paludan, 41, was allowed by Swedish police to burn the Koran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm on Saturday

Erdogan has already set tough conditions for backing the joint bids by Sweden and its Nordic neighbour Finland.

Turkey is demanding that Sweden extradite dozens of mostly Kurdish suspects that Ankara either accuses of "terrorism" or of involvement in a failed 2016 coup.

The Swedish police decision to allow Paludan's protest drew a furious response from Ankara on Friday.

Turkey cancelled a planned visit by Sweden's defence minister and summoned Stockholm's ambassador for a dressing down.

Erdogan said the burning of the holy Muslim book was a hate crime that could not be defended by free speech.

"It is clear that those who caused such a disgrace in front of our country's embassy can no longer expect any benevolence from us regarding their application for NATO membership," Erdogan said.

Comment: The outlook for the West's scheming isn't looking too bright, but it looks like no one will really 'win', because they threaten to drag the whole world down with them:

Why should anyone take this article seriously???

I have never been to Sweden, but my Cousin (I was very fond of his Mum) has lived most of his most life there. My younger, (older) brother and his brother-in-law have spent a lot of time in Sweden and Norway - it is not that far from the North of England.....My wife and I have known a really sweet Swedish Couple for about 20 years...We love them both, especially when they claim to have split up - they always get back together.

Never had a problem with Swedish, or Russian people for that matter

Once we were in Turkey - Side - the original old town...oh what nice people Turkish - I assume Muslim, though the owner of the place was an Aussie with a Turkish husband...

It was incredibly hot - no air conditioing - just a ceiling fan..we could tell the English couple before us, just wanted to get home to cool England

So I was standing on the balcony..in my dressing gown at 3:00 am, with my wife in bed..I was just trying to cool down..it was very hot...

And this Turkish bloke below - gestured to me...come down....

I did have long hair at the time, still have...

I was not advertising myself

That is the only time in my life a bloke has tried to pull me.

I just couldn't stop laughing.

Why should anyone take this article seriously??? tonyopmoc If my memory serves correctly, it reminds of the witch trials in the 16-1700s in the western world, where any form of religion not of the authorized form of thought regarding how one should think and behave was considered an aberration.

They were hung, burned at the stake, and many more atrocities, simply because most of them were women, who in essence practiced, healing medicine, and the alternative view of religious thought. What is called Pagan beliefs, the veneration of mother earth, as a goddess, the healer and provider.

How ironic in these days, the great healer of the earth and the earth is in AI and pharma.

That being said, when one denies, the spiritual beliefs of another country and the foundational sovereignty of a people, for a political agenda, then to my mind that is a red line. And the beliefs and ideology of that individual, espousing such a thought (the need to burn the Quran) and also the ideology should be brought into question.

The recent craze of the Nato, EU, and including the aspiring new members SV and FI make it easy for the Turks to defect to the other (BRICS) side. Which they planned now for months.

Wait for them to get thrown out of Nato.

We can learn something from this story : design reliable fake news telling that the oligarchy in charge of the Great Reset, regularly uses said sacred book as toilet paper. After that, they shouldn't last for very long mind you.

Here is a superb 50-minute documentary about this same politician, Rasmus Paludin, who burned the Koran in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm. He actually is Danish, living in Copenhagen, and this documentary is not at all biased - very balanced and objective, describing the Danish culture and the Muslim culture living together. It is a modern 21st-century cultural system and a medieval 7th-century belief system in conflict, very difficult for the Muslim community to reconcile.

However, we have just seen billions of 21st-century (supposedly intelligent) Westerners giving in to a mass psychosis and committing mass suicide by injecting poison into themselves, in terror over the irrational and fake COVID plandemic, so who are we to judge Muslim irrationality over their supposed "sacred" book or the name of their Prophet? Well worth watching, for a deeper understanding of this important situation. [Link]

I personally question why a homogenous country with a known outlook of the world would attract so many who from thousands of miles away would want to leave the majority who share their ideology, would want to go and live in an area where your ideology will NEVER be accepted, due to time, cultural and complete physical differences, add to that language barriers, it's almost as if some people expect COMPLETE cohesion or agree only from a comfortable side line/from afar.

It is pretty obvious cencorship is the only war that needs to be won.

danny esq · 2023-01-24T11:10:39Z

Once the native indiginous (fill in the blank) lose their voice, only ultra violence can ever become the option for defending your country from hoards of people who catagorically, religiously and culturally hate your country. Instead of blaming their ideology for it's strengths in plunder only, or admitting that their ideology lacks any way of cooperating with nature in agricultural systems which cannot keep up and limits their growth, plundering caravans has suddenly been upgraded to plundering the last orchards of mankind, which is suicide when you consider time into the equasion, are these immigrants aware that the death of europe and the west removes their ability to plunder (who will afford the ideology a measure for equilibrium if so far the plunder is time limited)????

Lemuel Gulliver · 2023-01-25T08:22:26Z

danny esq Absolutely correct. Some (perhaps even a majority, but not quite all) immigrants come from shit-poor failed states with a medieval outlook and no social cohesion (every family group for itself only, and fuck the rest of the people,) to a collaborative, tolerant, creative, mentally free modern Western society where free speech and new ideas flourish , which as a result has become highly successful and prosperous, and they have come wanting to share and enjoy that prosperity. But in addition they want to turn their new home into a copy of the shit-poor, intolerant, selfish, cruel, barbaric cesspit they fled from, refusing to see that doing so will cause the prosperity and wealth to vanish, and their new Western home to become just a flea-bitten, shit-poor hell-hole exactly like the one they fled from.

Western social cohesion and prosperity, and Muslim self-centered tribalism, are incompatible.

I have a friend who grew up in war-torn Beirut. Because of the war, ethnic communities self-segregated - there was a Christian area, a Shiite area, and a Sunni area, of Beirut, and people ventured outside their neighborhood with caution, and at some risk.

The borders were very distinct and sudden. In one block you would pass from one ethnic ghetto to another. She said the Christian and Shiite neighborhoods were spotless. No garbage, trees on the streets, nicely maintained houses, and so on, but the instant you entered a Sunni area, the streets were piled with garbage and trash. Inside their houses, the Sunnis were immaculate - you took your shoes off, the apartment was spotless, but to dispose of garbage, one opened the window and tossed it out down into the street. There was no consideration of "other" people "outside," who had to live in your discarded mounds of filth and garbage. One kept one's own space clean, but fuck everyone else, one just threw one's filth onto their heads.

When that attitude comes to Europe, it corrupts and destroys the European social contract, built up over hundreds of years of conflict and striving for peaceful co-existence - one's regard for one's neighbor, and his regard for you - which has resulted in collaboration for the common good and common benefits, and unparalleled prosperity.

THAT social conflict, the conflict between selflessness and selfishness, is what lies at the root of the divide in Europe between the natives and the immigrants.
