A journalist from the staunchly pro-government Yeni Akit daily has suggested that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be the new caliph of the Muslim world and host representatives of Muslim countries at his palace if Turkey adopts a presidential system.
"If Tayyip Erdoğan switches to a presidential system, he is likely to appoint advisors to him from Muslim countries located in regions that are under the
caliphate and he will open representative offices of all of them in 1,005 rooms of Beştepe [presidential palace],” Yeni Akit columnist
Abdurrahman Dilipak says in a speech published by the independent news website T24 on Saturday. Dilipak's statements were reportedly from a speech he delivered in Toronto last week as part of the Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) election campaign. His remarks came after his comments that caliphate was not completely abolished in 1924, but it can be resurrected by Parliament.
Caliph, "successor" in English, is a word used to describe the political leader of the global community of Muslims who claims succession from Prophet Muhammad.
Dilipak's Yeni Akit earlier voiced similar claims in an article which
argued that Erdoğan is a caliph and, along with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, waiting for the appearance of Mahdi, the Messiah. The article asserted that Mahdi will take an active role in the war in Syria and after the defeat of the armies of the Western powers in that country, he will head for Jerusalem to conquer the city with the help of the caliph. Moreover, the article claimed that the presidential palace known as "Ak Saray" was constructed to govern the provinces that will be occupied by Mahdi's army. The article also stated that Erdoğan and Davutoğlu want to be martyred fighting against enemies. Turkey has a parliamentary system of governance in which the head of government is the prime minister while the president is mostly a ceremonial figure. President Erdoğan has long been expressing his ambitions to transform Turkey into a presidential system in which he will hold the powers of both head of state and head of government.
In order to realize his dream, Erdoğan needs a constitutional change, which can only be carried out by the AK Party if it holds 400 of the 550 seats in Parliament, as the opposition parties do not approve of such a change.
Erdoğan's ambitions were disrupted after the June 7 election, when the AK Party could not secure enough seats in Parliament to both form a government alone and to change the Constitution. With Erdoğan's alleged meddling in efforts to form a coalition government after the election, Turkey is heading for a snap election on Nov. 1, during which the AK Party will one more time try to win 400 seats in Parliament.
California massacre victim ranted about Muslims on Facebook
A Jewish man who was slain in the San Bernardino massacre had a heated argument with the gunman about Islam being a violent religion just two weeks before the shooting that killed 14 and wounded 21.
Nicholas Thalasinos, a devout Zionist, became furious with Syed Rizwan Farook, a fellow restaurant inspector, during work, declaring that the Muslim man “doesn’t agree that Islam is not a peaceful religion.”
On the night before he was slain, Thalasinos — who maintained a Facebook page filled with anti-jihadi barbs — warred online with a Muslim fanatic who threatened to kill him.
“My new hobby appears to be BLOCKING PAGAN ANTISEMITIC TROGLODYTES so I’m just passing this along to warn others,” Thalasinos posted.
His online adversary Tuesday night was a UKRAINIAN who posted as “Med Ali Zarouk” and who had drawn Thalasinos’ ire with an anti-Semitic rant.
You will never sucsseed [sic] to make a country for jews,” the UKRAINIAN had written, “because you are criminals and cowards . . . soon you’ll get your ass kicked, you will die and never see israel as country believe me never.”
But Jennifer also said she believed Farook may have been radicalized “behind the scenes” in the years before Wednesday’s mass shooting but wasn’t showing “that part of himself” at work.
If Farook had shown his true colors, “my husband would have had something to say,” she said.
That same year, the widow said, Nicholas became a “born again” Messianic Jew, devoting himself to Jesus.
