He doesn’t wear a suicide Tvest, he doesn’t behead people, he doesn’t get his citizens flogged or stoned, he doesn’t get their hands cut off for theft, he doesn’t even go around holding one finger up in the air to signify his hatred of those who fail to acknowledge the one true God. However, he certainly does like the Islamists a lot. In the heyday of the Islamic State (ISIS) in northern Syria and Iraq, it was Erdogan who kept the Turkish border open so that thousands of foreign fight- ers and their families could go to join that terrorist proto-state, which was a descendant of Osama bin Laden’s original Al-Qaeda organ- isation.
