President Recep Tayyab Erdogan has said that the Muslim world is going through a new painful period. After millions of people were killed in the two great wars of the last century, a candle of democracy and freedom was lit in the world, but the colonial system violated all moral boundaries.
Addressing Justice and Development Party workers after visiting the quake-hit areas in Izmir, President Erdogan said that Western countries consider themselves champions of democracy and freedom but today they are the ones facing racism, fascism and Zionism. They stand with their heads bowed.
Those who in the past allowed cheap labor from different areas to enter their countries are now closing their doors to refugees and asylum seekers from war-torn areas.
The head of a country is insulting the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the most respected figure of Muslims, under the guise of freedom of expression. Where is democracy now?
"Where are the European values now?" He asked. Western politicians are attacking the beliefs of people of different religions and faiths.
Insulting the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is actually the cause of heartache to all Muslims. "Muslims will never compromise on blasphemy."
