Turkey Seeks Arrest of NBA Player, Says He Belongs to a ‘Terrorist Organization’
2nd June 2017
A Turkish court has reportedly issued an arrest warrant for Oklahoma Thunder center Enes Kanter, charging him with “being a member of a terrorist organization.” The 25-year-old Kanter, a Turkish national who has been living in the United States since 2009, has been an outspoken critic of the increasingly authoritarian Turkish government. He is also a supporter of Fethullah Gulen, a former imam and former ally of Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
Seems to me that he’s been in this country long enough to apply for citizenship; nothing could be clearer than the superiority of this country over that in which he was born.
After the failed coup, Erdogan initiated a massive purge of academics, bureaucrats, members of the judiciary, and members of the media, claiming with little to no evidence that thousands of people were colluding with what the Turkish government now calls the “Gulen Terrorist Organization.” Kanter’s family in Turkey has publicly disowned him, with his father apologizing to Erdogan “and the Turkish people” for “having such a son.” That didn’t keep Kanter’s dad from losing his job at a university in Istanbul.
If Mexicans can do the ‘chain immigration’ thing, no reason why this family couldn’t.
Funny how Muslims don’t hesitate to engage in behavior that they denounce as ‘Islamophobia’ on the part of anybody else.
