Ignoring widespread criticism, Erdogan again showed excerpts of a video taken by the attacker who killed 50 people in mosques in New Zealand, to denounce what he called rising hatred and prejudice against Islam.
In inflammatory comments on Monday, Erdogan suggested that anyone who comes to Turkey with anti-Muslim sentiments would meet the same fate as ANZAC soldiers who died during the Gallipoli campaign.
"Your grandparents came here … and they returned in caskets," he said, the ABC reported. "Have no doubt we will send you back like your grandfathers."
He made the comments in Canakkale province, northwestern Turkey which is home to the historic battlefields, on the anniversary of a World War I Turkish naval victory.

When did Turkey go from the country that has no enemies to being the country that has no friends?
For comparison the words of a great leader on Gallipoli
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Sad that Erdogan and Trump both see a terrible massacre of innocent Muslims and their first thought is how can I use this to get a few votes.
