According to Pamela Geller, Erdogan's son declared at an Islamist rally that "Yesterday Hagia Sophia, today the Umayyad Mosque, tomorrow Al-Aqsa."

This call to jihad is the latest in Turkey's history of Islamist imperialism. Hagia Sophia was an eastern Orthodox Church that the Turks conquered and turned into a Mosque. The Umayyad Mosque is a Mosque in Syria recently captured by Turkish-backed Islamist forces. Al Aqsa refers to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem which apparently The Turks are threatening to conquer.

As Geller points out, the irony is that the Biden regime is currently pressuring Israel to recognize the Turkish-backed ISIS gang that has taken over large portions of Syria.

Sadly, many people assume imperialism and colonialism are strictly European concepts but, in reality, Islamism or radical Islam has a long history of conquering and waging war against non-Muslim and non-Islamist countries.

The Ottoman Turks, in particular, were known for this, and Erdogan seeks to restore and emulate the Ottoman empire.
