Former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu says that Erdoğan is more dangerous than Covid-19

Former Turkish Prime Minister and former AKP party leader Ahmet Davutoğlu has brought together the leadership of his new political party (the “Future Party”) and called for new elections.

In his speech on November 1, 2020, he denounced Turkey’s decline into a form of “tribal state” characterised by “a lack of electoral opportunities”. He condemned the “culture of despotism” that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is bringing to the country.

Above all, he said that Erdoğan is the biggest threat that Europe has to face, worse than Covid-19.

Professor Davutoğlu is a professor specialising in international relations. In his book Stratejik derinlik: Türkiye ‘nin uluslararası konumu (Strategic Depth: Turkey’s International Situation), he describes a period of stabilisation (“zero problems with its neighbours”) followed by neo-Ottoman policies throughout the Muslim world; a policy he led from 2001 to 2016. Since being in opposition, he first condemned the personality cult of President Erdoğan and nowadays his claim to be recognised as the new Caliph of Islam in 2023.

Brutal attack on nun in Graz, Austria: Afghan man arrested

It is an outrageous crime, which, as reported, happened Saturday afternoon in a public bus in Graz. After evaluation of the video material it becomes clear how brutal the attack on the nun was. The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution took over the investigation.A suspect was quickly tracked down thanks to the police.

The attack came out of the blue. Without argument or address. Suddenly the young man raised his arm and struck the 76 year old woman on the head with full force. So hard that her hearing aid fell out. Physically, she remained unharmed. She was well under the circumstances. She had a stable psyche. However, the nuns are still afraid that something worse might happen next time, that he might have a knife.

When asked by the newspaper “Steirerkrone”, the police press office announced on Monday that the investigations had now been taken over by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counter-Terrorism. A suspect has been investigated in the meantime.

It has to do with a 19-year-old Afghan who was already known to the police for various drug-related offences. He had come to Austria at the end of 2015, but in the meantime an asylum withdrawal procedure is in progress due to his criminal record. He admitted the incident with the nun in the interrogations, but says that he had been abused by her before.

After his interrogation, the suspect was admitted to hospital.

5 dead in Vienna attack; assailant had previous conviction

Five people died, including an assailant, and 17 others were wounded in a shooting in the heart of Vienna hours before a coronavirus lockdown started, Austrian authorities said Tuesday. The dead attacker was a 20-year-old Austrian-North Macedonian dual national who had a previous terror conviction.

Two men and two women died from their injuries in the attack Monday evening, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said. The suspected attacker was shot and killed by police.

Vienna’s hospital service said seven people were in life-threatening condition Tuesday after the attack, the Austrian news agency APA reported. In total, 17 people were being treated in hospitals, with gunshot wounds but also cuts.

“It is now confirmed that yesterday’s attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack,” Kurz said. “It was an attack out of hatred — hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity.”

Interior Minister Karl Nehammer later told APA that the dead assailant, who had roots in the Balkan nation of North Macedonia, had a previous conviction under a law that punishes membership in terrorist organizations.

The attacker, named as Kujtim Fejzulai, was sentenced to 22 months in prison in April 2019 because he had tried to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group. He was granted early release in December under juvenile law.

Fifteen house searches have taken place and several people have been arrested, he added. The attacker, he said, “was equipped with a fake explosive vest and and an automatic rifle, a handgun and a machete to carry out this repugnant attack on innocent citizens.”

Authorities were still trying to determine whether further attackers may be on the run. People in Vienna were urged to stay at home if possible on Tuesday and children did not have to go to school. Some 1,000 police officers were on duty in Vienna on Tuesday morning.

Among those wounded in the attack was a police officer, said Nehammer. The 28-year-old officer was in the hospital but was no longer in a life-threatening condition.

The shooting began shortly after 8 p.m. (1900 GMT) Monday near Vienna’s main synagogue as many people were enjoying a last night of open restaurants and bars before a month-long coronavirus lockdown, which started at midnight.

Vienna police chief Gerhard Puerstl said the attacker was killed at 8:09 p.m.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said that “we are victims of a despicable terror attack in the federal capital.”

His government on Tuesday ordered three days of official mourning, with flags on public buildings to be flown at half-staff until Thursday, APA reported. A minute of silence was to be held at noon Tuesday.

Unverified footage posted on social media showed a gunman walking through the streets, apparently shooting at people at random, wounding several. It was unclear whether the person seen shooting was the same individual in each video.

Rabbi Schlomo Hofmeister said he saw at least one person shoot at people sitting outside at bars in the street below his window near the city’s main synagogue.

“They were shooting at least 100 rounds just outside our building,” Hofmeister said. “All these bars have tables outside. This evening is the last evening before the lockdown.”

Authorities said residents have uploaded 20,000 videos of the attack to police.

U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted Monday night as he prepared for his final rally ahead of Election Day: “Our prayers are with the people of Vienna after yet another vile act of terrorism in Europe.”

“These evil attacks against innocent people must stop,” Trump added. “The U.S. stands with Austria, France, and all of Europe in the fight against terrorists, including radical Islamic terrorists.”

Muslim exorcists kill 22-year-old Berlin woman – allowed to walk out of court as a free man

In Berlin, an Islamic scholar, a hodja and three other Muslims are on trial. They are said to have given salt water to a young woman until she died after an ordeal lasting several days. Background: The 22-year-old woman did not bear children to her husband for four years. The hodja concluded that she was possessed by the devil. And the devil was to be cast out with the “salt water cure”. This was reported in the “Bild” newspaper.

The hearing of evidence brought to light some macabre facts:

The husband, the parents of the young woman and the hodja guarded the 22-year-old alternately. Initially she drank the salt water, which damages the organs and the brain, herself. When she was no longer physically able to do so, the four defendants assisted her. The Hodja read verses from the Koran.

Every cinema-goer who has seen “Mutiny on the Bounty”, for example, knows that people die if they drink too much salt water. Moreover, the body resists its absorption. It takes a considerable amount of ignorance and criminal energy to torture a person for days and kill them by pouring salt water into the body. Anyone who assumes that a “salt water cure” is harmless and can cast out the devil is obviously not really mentally in the 21st century.The Berlin judiciary, however, grants the defendants a cultural privilege: All four are at large. Imagine the outcry in politics and the mass media if this were to be the treatment of German defendants suspected of having caused the death of a human being in a cruel way!

BREAKING: UPDATE – Attacker is said to have blown himself up with a belt of explosives – Terror attack on synagogue in Vienna – Shooting in the open street – Allegedly many deaths

Update: Meanwhile, the attacker is said to have blown himself up with a belt of explosives, reports Krone.at. However, several other perpetrators are said to be on the run. The police are asking the population to avoid the area on a large scale. There are already first reports that several people died and many were injured in the attack.

Terror attack in Vienna: The internal security of the Israeli religious community in Austria instructs all Jewish citizens not to leave their flats or houses.

WATCH: Muslims are pushing a man wearing a Macron mask across Berlin and beating and humiliating him – Berlin schools are afraid because of the scheduled minute’s silence for the French teacher Samuel Paty

“Allahu akbar” protests characterised the weekend in the Islamic areas of Berlin. Under shouts in Arabic language, for example, a man wearing a mask representing Emmanuel Macron was paraded through the streets on a rope and flogged.

Our Tweet of the day is from Julius Betschka, journalist at the “Tagesspiegel” – He has now made public that there have been far more than a few “Allahu akbar” shouts in Berlin in connection with the protests against France or Macron:

“In recent days there have been Muslim protests against Emmanuel Macron in the Berlin district of Neukölln. On Saturday, a person wearing a mask with a Macron face was disguised, tied to a rope, paraded down the street Sonnenallee by Arabic-speaking men & beaten with belts.

The fact that Macron is portrayed here with a longhaired wig is probably not due to the fact that many of the Islamists who were active here do not even know what Macron looks like. The “Tagesspiegel” reports:

Thomas Fröhlich from the campaign ” Ehrlos statt Wehrlos ” has witnessed the scene on Sonnenallee. His campaign was founded in 2018 in response to homophobic and transgressive attacks in Neukölln – they are left-wing and queer people, members of the Neukölln-based art and club scene.

Fröhlich says: “The fact that Macron is shown here in long blond hair as a fag, symbolizing the West as weak, “abnormal” and decadent, is part of the Islamist propaganda action”.

Some years ago a group of Arabs had whipped a homosexual couple with leather belts across the Kotti Square. At that time, homosexual organisations, politics and mainstream media kept quiet about the incident. On Facebook the report was deleted and I was blocked for four weeks.

Neukölln, which is now dominated by Muslims, is known for its numerous violent attacks on transgender and homosexual people. Only recently, a left-green homosexual association issued a bizarre press release calling on society and politics to pay more attention to Muslim and right-wing extremist homophobia.

Another tweet from Betschka highlights the problem in a significant way:

“The Arab-speaking man with the red and white Kufiya insults the person with the Macron mask as “vermin” and “dog” according to his colleague. The police know nothing of the incident.”

“The man humiliating the person wearing the #Macron mask in #Neukoelln is probably the Syrian-born Youtuber Fayez Kanfash. He was arrested by the @polizeiberlin at Alexanderplatz. This is shown in a video from a fan group.”

A minute’s silence for the murdered French teacher Samuel Paty is scheduled for today at Berlin schools. However, the schools do not await this without concern:

“With a mixture of solidarity and concern, Berlin’s schools are looking forward to the minute’s silence for the murdered French teacher Samuel Paty this Monday. The concern is directed above all at those Muslim pupils who, at home or in their communities, feel more angry about showing the Muhammad cartoons than they do about the murder. Several schools are considering how to avoid or intercept disturbances during the minute of silence”.
