The Mosques Are Our Barracks
8th March 2024
Many years ago Recep Tayyip Erdogan famously quoted a poem by the 20th-century Turkish nationalist writer Ziya Gökalp:
The mosques are our barracks,
the domes our helmets,
the minarets our bayonets,
and the believers our soldiers.One of those barracks was raided today by security police in the Swedish town of Tyresö, and four people were arrested for planning a terrorist attack.
