Thailand decision to deport 109 Uighurs to China results in Consulate attacked in Turkey.

The issue with Erdogan and his religious extremists are trying hard to roll back all that for there own political motives.. They seem to have been emboldened with the chaos they created in Syria.. But the ISIS will be the downfall of Erdogan himself

In fact, Erdogan back-pedaled on the Uighur claim and sent his state news agency to XinJiang to refute the crazy claims of "Uighur oppression." Maybe he saw he was becoming way too lonely, few countries except Qatar and lovely Saudis to go. But Islamists and Turanist did not even hear his voice. Erdogan said his opponents sought to undermine his regime by putting a drift between AKP and other governments. He was, in sense, bitten by the monster he himself fed and emboldened. Otherwise, how in the world, in the middle of modern Ankara, women clad in Taliban-style dresses, would attack a Chinese looking lady and smash the Thai consulate?

As for Iran.. Iranian people some of the most edcated and progressive and their Mullah led administration trying hard to keep its population in religious dark ages are two very different things

Hopefully, with the agreement being put in action soon, Iran will slowly get rid of the archaic rules and traditions. Then, the sky is the only limit for Iran. But, I have little faith in clerical regime as well as the US Congress who has to pass the deal.

No. Kill them is wrong thing too. Re-educate them will be the best way. There were doing all of this because their education. If we kill 1, their relatives will get angry. Further divide them and us. This game has been played since 7th century. What we need is for them to be nationalist not religious extreamist.

Sometimes, execute criminals is a kinda education too.

Because the modern Turkish nation that Atatuk founded and his successes governed is indeed the epitome of a progressive nation should be and a very rare Muslim nation.. Ideally it should have been emulated throughout the middle East..

Agree, Irans Mullah with their outdated religious ideology and senseless anti western/U.S/Israeli position also hold back their country from reaching their full potential. Seems Turkey under Erdogan doesn't want to be left behind by the Mullahs .
