New York Times—Mr. Erdogan’s Jaw-Dropping Hypocrisy:

Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has gall. He has jailed tens of thousands of people, shuttered more than 150 media companies and called a referendum in April to enlarge his powers. Yet when local authorities in Germany, for security reasons, barred two Turkish ministers from campaigning on his behalf among Turks living in Germany, Mr. Erdogan exploded, accusing Germany of Nazi practices and knowing nothing about democracy. If he himself was barred from speaking in the country, he warned, he’d “set the world on fire.”

This is all the more galling knowing that among the scores of journalists jailed in Turkey is a reporter for Die Welt, with German and Turkish citizenship, whom Mr. Erdogan has accused of being a German spy and a “representative” of an outlawed Kurdish rebel group. Some furious German politicians have urged Chancellor Angela Merkel to tell Mr. Erdogan that he is not welcome in Germany. Properly, and wisely, she has not. Appearances by leading Turkish politicians, she said, “remain possible within the laws applicable here.” Permits for demonstrations are handled locally, though, and Ms. Merkel said she has no say in them.

Ms. Merkel does have security reasons for her restraint: Germany uses a NATO base in Turkey for reconnaissance aircraft in the fight against the Islamic State, and Ms. Merkel was the key force behind a European Union deal with Ankara by which Turkey helps stem the flow of refugees into Europe. But more important, Germany does not want to stoop to Mr. Erdogan’s level.

SnyderTalk Comment:

I don’t often agree with the editors at the New York Times, but this time I do.  Turkish President Erdogan’s behavior is nothing short of breathtaking.

I wasn’t alive while Hitler was haranguing the world with his views, but I don’t believe he looked any more ridiculous then than Erdogan does now.  Clinically speaking, I think Erdogan may be insane.  I’m not exaggerating.  I think he may be a certifiable lunatic.

See “The Latest: Turkey minister calls Dutch decision ‘a scandal’”:

Turkey’s foreign minister says that the Dutch decision to deny his plane landing permission for him to enter the Netherlands “is a scandal in every way and cannot be accepted.”

Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was due to visit Rotterdam on Saturday to campaign for a referendum next month on constitutional reforms in Turkey. The Dutch government says that it withdrew the permission because of “risks to public order and security.”

Cavusoglu, speaking at Istanbul’s airport, said that the Dutch are trying to prevent Turkish officials from meeting voters in Europe.

He said: “So they cancelled it due to security concerns, what, so is the minister a terrorist?”

The minister added: “We will give them the response they deserve.”

Big things are beginning to happen.  We need to watch and pray, because at the end of the day, it will involve Israel.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.

We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name.  We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
