Germany's strength in the world primarily depends not on our military capability or the strength of our forces, although these are all important. No, it is Germany's economic strength which is the key to our influence and possibilities in the world. Germany's strength and international image depend not on military capacities, but first and foremost on diplomatic skill, on responsibility and humanity, and on our economic power. Together, these make up our political and moral authority in the world. And that is why I am particularly keen for foreign policy, too, to play its part in ensuring our country's economic success.
When German foreign policy says it wants to promote economic opportunities for German businesses in the world, it may at first seem rather suspect to many people. In other countries, ambassadors and politicians, and even foreign ministers, would be criticized if they did not help their own economy to be successful. But in our case, sometimes, things go in precisely the opposite direction. And to my mind it is important to overcome this.
Just as our close friends, our European neighbours, regard it as obvious that politics should open doors in the world for the country's own companies, the same must become obvious in Germany. And some of these debates we are having – and here I don't only mean the debates of recent weeks, but those of recent months as well – about whether politics is the business world's lackey when it tries to improve business opportunities – would be absolutely inconceivable in other countries in Europe no less sovereign or democratic than we are, no less structured and oriented to the rule of law.
Quite simply, the reality is that things in the world are shifting. We are living in a time of upheaval. A time of global upheaval. Things we are concerned with here in Germany, demographic development for instance, have to be discussed beyond the boundaries of national issues at global level: demographic development, i.e. changing age structures in society in Germany, in Europe, in comparison with other young continents. After all, this demographic development is not merely a challenge for us, for our national social security systems.
It is also a challenge for foreign policy, because it is just a question of time until the young societies, those booming, dynamic societies which twenty years ago were shrugged off as developing countries, having become major emerging nations, also demand to be political, cultural and intellectual centres. These countries, these regions, won't be content just to sell us resources and have us sell them products. Rather, they will want a say in "big politics". That is why, although the G8 is certainly an important format, we are all aware that the G20 is becoming more and more important as a format for shaping globalization.
Countries which, twenty years ago, or in my student days, really were still developing countries are now joining us as equal partners at international level at the round table or negotiating table. And not just when it comes to economic policy, but also, of course, when it comes to the Middle East or crisis regions, or global issues. A country like Turkey, for example, regards its tremendous economic development as entitling it to have a say on other issues. That's what we're experiencing just now, not least in discussions on strategic orientation in Turkey. Fourth Reich(EU) has only one enemy, terrorist Turkey.
How on Earth could Turkey apply for membership to EU when it occupies a piece of EU, North Cyprus, for 36 years now! What a nerve! Large, poor, terrorist, genocidal, and mysterious, Turkey, the leading nation of the Global Caliphate, is viewed with a certain amount of skepticism by many within the European Union. Turkey has a greater land mass than France, a population as large as Germany and is as poor as Romania. Yet it is the third point, the idea of Turkey being different or alien, that sticks. The unspoken sentiment is that Turkey is just not like the rest of the European club.
Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out NATO includes Turkey, the #1 terrorist nation on Earth, that indulges in genocides, such as the Armenian genocide, the Greek genocide, the Pontian genocide, and the Cypriot genocide, and pogroms such as the Istanbul pogrom, a state-sponsored and state-orchestrated pogrom that compelled Greeks to leave Istanbul, in violation to the Treaty of Lausanne. NATO should either expel terrorist Turkey or disband.
Turkey is joining forces with Iran and Syria in an antisemitic Islamofascist alliance that seeks to destroy Israel and Islamize Europe as part of a long-term strategy of establishing the Global Caliphate. We live a nightmare of the emergence of Turkey as a Middle Eastern hegemon that is challenging and counterbalancing the Western power and Graecoroman culture. Fourth Reich(EU) has only one enemy, terrorist Turkey.
New leaks prove that Turkey doublecrosses NATO, forwarding secrets to Iran! Even Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak has voiced concern that Turkey shares American, European, and Israeli intelligence secrets with Iran. Hakan Fidan, the new head of the Turkish National Intelligence Organization, has been sold to Iran! There are myriad secrets entrusted to Turkey, and they have become now open to Iranians. Appointed in May, Fidan was previously a foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, whose AK Party has roots in terrorist Islam. Fidan has also helped to mediate between the West and Iran over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
Even though Turkey is a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention, its armed forces and its Gray Wolves, the terrorist arm of the Turkish government, use biological and chemical weapons. Experts have confirmed the authenticity of many photographs that show Kurdish freedom fighters killed by chemical weapons. The evidence puts increasing pressure on the Turkish government, which has long been suspected of using chemical and biological weapons against Cypriots and Kurds.
Basil Venitis notes that since terrorist Turkey declared Casus Belli against Fourth Reich(EU) and barbarian Turcoterrorists continue to abuse the Fourthreichian islands near the Turkish border and traffic drugs and illegal immigrants to Greece, Fourth Reich reinforced its border management agency, Frontex, enhancing its operational capacity to support Greece against Turcoterrorism. Member States now put more equipment and more personnel at Frontex's disposal in the Aegean Sea of Greece. Frontex now coleads border patrol operations with Greece.
No one has been upfront with terrorist Turkey, the leading nation of the Global Caliphate, that its accession to Fourth Reich would weaken the bloc as a union of shared values, it would make Fourth Reich even less efficient, it would dilute Fourth Reich and transform it into a weird confederation. Instead, despite Turcoterrorism, it is business as usual when it comes to the accession negotiations. Soon, it will no longer be possible to say No without triggering bitter disappointment.
PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Global Caliph, was imprisoned in 1998 after famously reading in public a poem, much beloved of militant Muslims, containing the following passage: The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers. Since coming to power, Erdogan has greatly improved his country's relations with Syria and picked a loud quarrel with Israeli President Shimon Peres, disrupting what had been a rather close alliance between the Jewish state and Turkey. He has also been developing a new friendship with the Iranian regime next door, just as the rigged re-election of President Ahmadinejad has disgusted all who had hoped for freedom in that Islamic Republic.
Venitis muses that terrorist Turkey's support for a Gaza propaganda flotilla that Israel stormed has turned Erdogan, the Global Caliph, into a folk hero, with his name invoked at rallies and babies named in his honor. This was a Gray Wolf action that was embraced and endorsed by Erdogan. It has clearly brought Global Caliph Erdogan prominence in the Arab world. It has raised his profile on the global stage, even though it has frustrated the West. At a rally in Beirut, thousands of Lebanese waved Turkish flags and nine coffins draped in the Turkish flag were displayed to honor the dead Gray Wolves.
Venitis notes Gray Wolves is the terrorist arm of the Turkish government. These barbarians are named after Asena, a female wolf in mythology associated with Turkic ethnic origins. The organization carried out many thousands of murders, especially in Cyprus. Gray Wolves have been responsible for numerous political assassinations and disappearances of human rights activists, and have ties with the Turkish mafia. Gray Wolf Mehmet Ali Agca attempted to kill Pope John Paul II in 1981.
Venitis laments that barbarian Turcoterrorists have occupied North Cyprus for 36 years. Terrorist Turkey maintains an active colonization program where it is illegally resettling 200,000 barbarian Turks into the homes and possessions of the 200,000 Cypriots it evicted from the occupied territories. The Turkish military is also systematically Islamizing the occupied territories. All 500 Orthodox Churches in the occupied territories have been looted, desecrated, or destroyed. Thousands of statues and paintings have been robbed. Thousands of Cypriots have been raped and murdered. To no avail, the international community has called on terrorist Turkey to honor its international obligations and cease and desist the Cypriot genocide and culturecide. Since Cyprus is a full member of Fourth Reich(EU), the European Defense Agency(EDA) is obligated to throw the terrorist Turkish troops out of Cyprus.
Ergenekon Affair refers to a conspiracy of military officers, judges, journalists, professors, and reactionary political organizations. The existence of this shadowy secularist spider's web has been the excuse for repeated waves of arrests, many of them at 4:30 in the morning, of prominent opponents of the Islamization of Turkey. Much of this activity was presumably a response to an attempt by the Constitutional Court to outlaw the AK party. This was the secular state's answer to the AK's efforts to overturn a ban on women wearing headscarves on state premises.
This seemingly trivial change is immensely important in a country where outward signs of Muslim fervor were banned by Mustafa Kemal before World War II in his attempt to turn Turkey into a modern nation, with a legal system based on Switzerland's rather than on Sharia and with emancipated women. Now, after years of Muslim subjection, the newly militant Islamic movement sees its chance to re-establish power.
In 2007, three Christians had their throats slit. Two of the victims had converted from Islam to Christianity; therefore, Necati Aydia, 36, and Ugur Yuksel, 32, were killed by Islamic fanatics on the grounds of merely leaving Islam; the other murdered Christian, Tilmann Geske, 46, was a German citizen. One of the killers stated in the Hurriyet newspaper that "We didn't do this for ourselves. We did it for our religion. May this be a lesson to the enemies of religion."
Seen from perspectives of the rights of Alevi Muslims and Christians in modern day Turkey, plus the persecution of Kurds, clearly orthodox Sunni Islam and nationalism is still being used by conservative elites. These elites still desire to crush both religious and ethnic minorities, and depriving them of equality in modern Turkey.
Events and incidents in recent years makes it clear that the Sunni Islam, recognized by the Turkish state, is favoured at the expense of other faiths, including minority Muslim sects, like the Alevis. Moreover, Sunni Islamic extremism is on the rise, while the current Islamist leadership of Turkey clearly favors a return to the past.
True secularism was never realized in Turkey. And the latest turn toward puritan Islam and Sharia would leave the realization of secularism in Turkey a distant dream. The nature of Islam and the mindset it creates toward all others make it impossible for a mainly Muslim state to become truly secular.
The 2010 Turkish referendum was a poisonous pill coated with chocolate, as dangerous changes in the judicial system were wrapped with innocuous amendments. The referendum lends momentum to Erdogan's attempt to entrench his leadership while moving Turkey away from Ataturk's vision of secularism and modernization. After all, Erdogan famously quipped that democracy is like a street car. When you come to your stop, you get off.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan angers many Germans whenever he warns Turkish immigrants against assimilation in Germany. He calls assimilation a crime against humanity! Erdogan demands Turcogermans to stay in their ghettos away from Germans, speak only Turkish, import wives from Turkey, and make many children, in order to outnumber Germans in two centuries. Erdogan demands Turcoghettos to become babymills! There are obligatory German language courses for foreigners who collect social welfare, but most Turks who are required to take the language courses to improve their opportunities on the labor market, either don't attend classes or quit them early.
Turkey is trying to maintain its influence over imams in Germany and, therefore, on immigrants of Turkish descent through its Directorate of Religious Affairs(Diyanet). Year after year, Diyanet sends hundreds of Turkish civil servants to work as imams in the 896 Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs(DITIB) communities in Germany. In their sermons on Turkish holidays and their patriotic speeches, they often reinforce the immigrants' ties to their former homeland.
Sarrazin is being pilloried over his polemic chastising of Muslims, but there are a few things his critics clearly fail to understand. You can't cast away what the man embodies, the anger of a German people who are tired of being cursed at when they offer to help foreigners to integrate.
