The globalists want these guys to have free movement in the EU! The UK must vote BREXIT!!!

Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of President Tayyip Erdogan may want to end the Turkish separation of Islam and state.

One of the key founding elements of modern Turkey as created by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1923 was secularism enshrined in law and the constitution.

The legacy of the young Turks could be ended in the near future as Turkish Parliament President Ismail Kahraman of the AKP has called for the abolition of secularism in the Turkish constitutionSpiegel Online reports.

Kahraman said, “we are a Muslim country. As a consequence we must have a religious constitution”, and along with other leading members of the AKP denounced the idea of a secular Turkish state saying, “secularism must no longer play a role in the new constitution.” Kahraman is the head of the Turkish parliament and within that role he has the ability to decide what the shape of the new Turkish constitution will look like.

The AKP has been pushing for a new constitution to replace the one created after the latest military coup, in 1980.

The present constitution mentions no official religion in Turkey and tries to follow the principle of secularism and nationalism that Ataturk followed in creating the state of Turkey following the First World War and collapse of the Ottoman Sultanate.

The party of President Erdogan has long maintained a tradition of Islamic thought and has its founding principles in Islamic politics. The party has ruled Turkey for 13 years and in that time has brought forward more and more Islamic focused laws leading critics to say that the party is trying to totally undo the work of the nations founder.

The AKP has also been linked to more radical Islamic teachings, such as a cartoon in a children’s magazine that promoted martyrdom.

Opposition politician and chairman of the CHP, Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu said secularism was important because it lets all people practice their religion freely and, “the chaos in the Middle East is the result of the use of religion by politics.”

German politicians have been especially critical of the announcement because of the EU-Turkey summit deal which is planning to end visa requirements for Turkish nationals as early as this summer. Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) General Secretary Andreas Scheuer said, “if Turkey wants to introduce an Islamic constitution, it closes the door to Europe with a loud bang.

“That would be the perfect renunciation of the policy of Kemal Ataturk, when nearly one hundred years ago, Turkey reformed to a secular state.”

Scheuer recently spoke out about Turkish funding for mosques in Germany saying that German Muslims should self fund their mosques with a “Muslim tax,” which would see mosques tax their worshippers directly rather than receive funding from overseas.

Get them out of Germany now or endure endless problems and creeping sharia law.

German Deputy Chancellor Horst Seehofer has warned against the proposed visa-free entry for Turkish citizens, saying Turkey will only bring its problems to Europe.

Seehofer, who is the head of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) and coalition partner of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said that he could only warn about the consequences of what was happening in the negotiations between the European Union (EU) and Turkey last month. (Get out of the coalition and save Germany!)

The much lauded EU-Turkey summit deal was designed to tackle the problems of the migrant crisis and has been seen as the only con structive attempt by the EU to address the issue.

Part of the deal negotiated by Ankara was to see the visa-free movement of Turkish citizens into the EU. Seehofer said in an interview with German paper Bayernkurier that will be fully published on Friday, he thinks that the visa-free movement of Turkish nationals will only ensure, “that the Turkish domestic problems are imported to Germany,” Die Welt reports.

The CSU as a party is also increasingly worried about the military operations that the Turkish government has been carrying out against it’s Kurdish minority in the south of Turkey and in northern Syria. Under the scope of combating the terrorist PKK group, the Turks have maintained a constant bombing campaign that Seehofer and others fear could lead to a mass exodus of Kurdish civilians if the current visa restrictions are removed.

Turkey is also looking to move forward with potential negotiations on it joining the European Union as a full member. Seehofer said that he wasn’t a proponent of any kind of membership deal for Turkey. He said that there needs to be a longer time-frame to negotiate any possibility of membership saying, if I accelerate the accession negotiations, then I cannot say at the end of the acceleration process, we do not want you in the EU.” He claimed that accelerating the talks would just give a clear signal to Ankara that Germany and the other European nations want Turkey as a member and said, “we at the CSU clearly don’t want that.”

Seehofer has remained a critic of Chancellor Angela Merkel since the start of the migrant crisis. Shortly after the mass sex attacks on New Years Eve in Cologne Seehofer along with the CSU told Merkel she must do more to secure the German border, threatening her with a constitutional lawsuit. After the ratification of the Eu-Turkey migrant deal and new German integration plan earlier this month he reiterated the need for better border control saying that the lawsuit was still very much on the table.

Impeach her!
