At all costs

Fahrettin Altun @fahrettinaltun Here’s what those Europeans need to understand: Muslims won’t go away because you don’t want us. We won’t turn the other cheek when you insult us. We will defend ourselves and our own at all costs. 11:24 AM · Oct 25, 2020·Twitter Web App

Europe’s hostility towards Muslims and efforts to ‘discipline’ them is inseparable from the increasingly widespread hostility towards Islam, Turkey and our president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Some European leaders today do not just target Muslims in their midst. They attack our sacred values, our scripture, our prophet and our political leaders — our way of life. 

Everything we see about Muslims in European public culture today is eerily familiar to the demonization of the European Jewry in the 1920s. It’s about intimidating and reminding Muslims that they are welcome to keep the European economy going, but they will never belong — against the backdrop of lectures about integration.Europe is an increasingly dangerous place for Muslims. 

The dog whistle politics of offensive caricatures, accusations of separatism against Muslims, and mosque raids isn’t about freedom of expression.

Le dichiarazioni di Altun sono sempre molto calcolate.

Erdogan al momento ha il potere di fare ripartire la jihad su scala globale.

Bisogna fare attenzione a non dargli una possibilità concreta.
