Turkish Government releases radical Moslems

There is a political storm raging in Turkey over the release of the leaders of a radical Islamic Kurdish group from prison.

Turkey has no problem releasing radical Islamist terrorists from prison because they share the same ultimate agenda.

Called Kurdish Hizbullah, the group is blamed for the torture and killing more than 100 people in its battle with the Kurdish separatist organization the PKK.

Kurdish Hizbullah, unrelated to the Lebanese Hezbollah, came to prominence in the late 1980s in southeastern Turkey. Some experts say its aim is to destroy the secular order and spread “true Islam” throughout the country, by force if necessary. However, strong claims have surfaced over the years that it was the state itself that established the organization to fight the PKK through illegal means, such as summary executions.

Lately, Kurdish Hizbullah began moving away from violence and set up numerous organizations providing charity for the Kurdish poor. At the same time, members began advocating its radical Islamic agenda.

The group now is believed to be one of the most powerful organizations in the predominately Kurdish southeast.

“Why is the prime minister not calling Hizbullah a terrorist organization? Could it be because of their partnership in the Southeast?” asked opposition politician Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

But Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan dismisses those accusations.

“To connect AKP with Hizbullah or any other terror organization is tactlessness and cowardice,” he said. “Where is the evidence?

My comments;

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) is the political wing of the Turkish franchise of the Moslem Brotherhood, the mother organization founded in Egypt in 1928 which has the franchise of Hamas among the Palestinians and the Islamic Action Front in Jordan, as well as others.

That Erdogan and the AKP would be interested in releasing Islamic radicals who have carried out terrorist acts should not be a surprise to anyone. It is a nice coincidence for the AKP that these particular Islamic radical terrorists are enemies of the secular Kurdish parties like the PKK.

The Turkish government has been fighting the PKK in the southeast of the country for decades. If Erdogan can help the Islamic radicals among the Kurds gain dominance over the secular nationalist camp he can make peace with them and successfully end one of Turkey’s longest running internal conflicts.

This will make him a hero in Turkey, raise his stature in the Moslem world and gain him a powerful new ally all in one move. It would also remove the last distraction he has from focusing his full attention on his biggest ambition, leading the Islamic world in its great war against the Jewish State of Israel.

Israel’s enemies are gathering for the great effort which will bring all of her neighbors against her for the Gog Magog war prophesied about in Ezekial 38-39.

We must all pray for Israel’s leaders to be aware of the danger, and pray for the Believers in Turkey who will soon have to make a choice between standing with Israel and suffering greater persecution.

Zechariah 2:8;

For thus says the LORD of hosts, “After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.

Unrest might soon spread to Syria

Syrians are organizing campaigns on Facebook and Twitter that call for a “day of rage” in Damascus this week, taking inspiration from Egypt and Tunisia.

Hafez el-Assad sent his soldiers to butcher 40,000 Syrians the last time there was a serious revolt in that country.

Like Egypt and Tunisia, Syria suffers from corruption, poverty and unemployment. All three nations have seen subsidy cuts on staples like bread and oil. Syria’s authoritarian president has resisted calls for political freedoms and jailed critics of his regime.

The main Syrian protest page on Facebook is urging people to protest in Damascus on February 4 and 5 for “a day of rage”. It says the goal is to “end the state of emergency in Syria and end corruption”.

The number of people who have joined Facebook and Twitter pages calling for protests on Friday and Saturday is still relatively small, and some are believed to live outside the country.

Social networking sites were integral to rallying protesters in Tunisia and Egypt.

Facebook is banned in Syria, which makes organizing more difficult – even though many Syrians manage to access the social networking site anyway. More than 2,500 people have joined the page calling for protests on February 4-5, with another 850 joining a page in favor of President Bashar Assad.

Assad, a 45-year-old British-trained eye doctor, inherited power from his father, Hafez, in 2000, after three decades of authoritarian rule.

He is seen by many Arabs, however, as one of the few leaders in the region willing to stand up to arch enemy Israel. And his support for Palestinian and Lebanese militant groups opposed to Israel as well as his opposition to the US invasion of Iraq has won him more support among his people than other Arab rulers.

My comments;

Bashar Assad’s father crushed a revolt by the Moslem Brotherhood in the city of Hama in 1982, ringing the city with tanks and artillery and firing point blank into populated areas, killing as many as 40,000 people.

It is unlikely that the Brothers have forgiven or forgotten.

It is also unlikely that they will try again.  This “Day of Rage” on Saturday might produce some fireworks, but there won’t be anything in Syria like there has been in Egypt in the last week.

And there doesn’t have to be.

Syria is already firmly in the camp of Iran, which is an implacable enemy of the Israel and will probably join forces with whatever Islamist government emerges in Egypt, Jordan and the other countries surrounding the Jewish State for the great Gog Magog war prophesied about in Ezekiel 38-39.

Ezekiel 38: 2-5 says;

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet

The word “Islam” does not appear in this prophecy but as we look at the Middle East today we can clearly see that it is the only thing which unifies all the countries mentioned in this prophecy, who will come against Israel in a massive invasion force from which Israel will have no defense against except to cry out in fear and terror for their God to deliver them.

When they do, He will send His Son, the Lion of Judah, to deliver them.

Hosea 5:14-15;

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be none to deliver. I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.

Islamic terrorists aim for 300 Egyptian F-16’s

The Muslim brotherhood has always wanted to take over a national army. In Egypt 300 F-16 fighter jets are waiting.

The mighty Egyptian air force might fall into the hands of Islamic terrorists.

Egypt’s military is a million-man behemoth, ranked 10th in the world in size.

It saps nearly USD 6 billion from Egypt’s coffers annually. Another USD 1.3 billion in U.S. military aid is mostly spent on new American warplanes, tanks and attack helicopters.

Its air force includes more than 300 U.S.-built warplanes, and modern American Abrams tanks now clatter down Cairo’s streets. Egypt has an army of two million men.

My comment:

The Military might of Egypt is a US fortress. If the Muslim Brotherhood seize power in Cairo, 300 hyper modern F-16 fighters will be at their disposal.

The Egyptian fleet in F16 is the forth largest in the World, just a few less than the Israeli fleet.

If Egypt becomes a new Islamic republic ruled by Imams, Israel will be tempted to copy 1967. Only by striking first, Jewish life might be saved.

Deuteronomy 28:7
The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

In many wars after 1948, Israel has seen victory. This victory is conditional. In the end Israel, will be left alone, and attacked by all nations.  Than Jesus the Messiah will return and rescue her.
