The following clip from French television features an interview with a scholar named Bassam Tahhan, who attempts to counter the dishonest media propaganda about the Syrian “civil war”. He also warns Europe about the role played by Turkey in the success of ISIS and other jihad groups.

| 00:00 | The Journal TV Libertes | |
| 00:04 | Our guest today: Bassam Tahhan. | |
| 00:08 | You are expert on Islam and the Middle East. | |
| 00:12 | You have taught and still teach | |
| 00:16 | at Henry IV in Paris (prestigious college); you also taught for more than 13 years at | |
| 00:20 | at the Ecole Politechnique (University of Paris). | |
| 00:24 | ||
| 02:59 | You say that Turkey is a | |
| 03:03 | ”revolving door” for terrorism at the gates of Europe. | |
| 03:07 | On what facts do you base these comments? Yes, it’s very simple | |
| 03:11 | Firstly, Erdogan is “Muslim Brotherhood” by his past. | |
| 03:15 | He was arrested and imprisoned for his declarations | |
| 03:20 | quoting an Islamist poet | |
| 03:24 | that “…the mosques are our barracks…” I don’t remember the exact words. | |
| 03:28 | That’s one thing, then there is | |
| 03:32 | the fact that he plays a malicious game. | |
| 03:36 | He is the Trojan Horse of Islamism in Europe | |
| 03:40 | He is infiltrating us, and not only in Europe and France, | |
| 03:44 | but also in the Maghreb. On the level | |
| 03:48 | of Turkey herself it is very well known | |
| 03:52 | how he represses these people. How | |
| 03:56 | he stated recently that in Islam a woman was not the equal of a man. | |
| 04:00 | In addition he has | |
| 04:04 | an unbelievable hatred for a great part of his population, | |
| 04:08 | at least 20 million, who are Shiites. | |
| 04:13 | And then there are | |
| 04:17 | the “Association of Advocates” and “Men of Peace”, | |
| 04:21 | both associations recorded a memorandum with | |
| 04:25 | the UN, demanding that the Erdogan government | |
| 04:29 | be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity | |
| 04:33 | because arms fabricated in Turkey | |
| 04:37 | have been passed into Syria. | |
| 04:41 | The “salaries” of these jihadists | |
| 04:45 | pass via Turkish banks. There are ten thousand Jihadists | |
| 04:49 | alone from Tunisia; then there are Chechens, Saudis; | |
| 04:53 | all this passes through Turkey. All those jihadists | |
| 04:57 | entered Syria to destroy Syria. | |
| 05:02 | Aleppo had hundreds of factories. Today all those | |
| 05:06 | factories are dismantled and installed on the other side of the border. | |
| 05:10 | That is theft. And despite this we see the smile | |
| 05:14 | of our President Hollande at the Elysee and we see him | |
| 05:18 | bowing his head and saying “yes” to Erdogan. | |
| 05:22 | That’s scandalous, that’s ostrich politics. | |
| 05:26 | I don’t want to hear afterwards | |
| 05:30 | we did not know, when they discover that there are Turks | |
| 05:34 | who work in France against French interests. | |
| 05:38 | ||
| 07:15 | The objective ally of Islamism is France! | |
| 07:19 | it’s the politics of Fabius (French Foreign Minister). | |
| 07:24 | You appear systematically as a supporter of Assad, can one legitimately | |
| 07:28 | support Assad under the pretext of the fight against terrorism? | |
| 07:32 | ||
| 08:17 | …I support Bashar because | |
| 08:21 | until now, everything he was accused of, I would like to see a proof of. | |
| 08:25 | For example, this story about chemical arms, it’s laughable. | |
| 08:29 | The very day when people came | |
| 08:33 | to inspect he would use chemical weapons? | |
| 08:37 | When there are proofs that those who did the (chemical) attacks | |
| 08:41 | were the “rebels”. In Turkey Islamic rebels were arrested | |
| 08:45 | who had sarin gas, you see. | |
| 08:49 | And we have documents from Russia, you will say yes… | |
| 08:53 | but Russia is an ally of Damascus, OK, but the UN | |
| 08:58 | have confirmed that it was the rebels | |
| 09:02 | who attacked. So you denounce a manipulation of opinions | |
| 09:06 | about these chemical attacks, that were imputed to Bashar Assad. Without doubt | |
| 09:10 | what shocks and offends me very much, I who like | |
| 09:14 | Voltaire, and the country of human rights, and the spirit of law | |
| 09:18 | of Montesquieu and the Social Contract, | |
| 09:22 | to mention but a few, to end up here, | |
| 09:26 | with that unbelievable intoxication of the media. For three years | |
| 09:30 | we were bombarded with lies, and everyone who expressed | |
| 09:34 | a different opinion was banned from the media. |
Obama along with Turkey and Jordan are training terrorists
The Sultan has been, in 2010, awarded
sowdi “Nobel prize“, for doing what? A parallel to the Nobel Prize for Obama?
“A Saudi award to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his ‘service to Islam’ underscores Saudi backing for Turkey’s bid to take a more activist role as a Middle East power broker.”
When it looks like a conspiracy, smells like a conspiracy, and acts like a conspiracy – (dare I say it?) maybe it is a… conspiracy.
It’s got the look and feel of rubble as far as the eye can see in every direction unless very serious attention is given to the basics. Do we still do war games or is that too 1960’s and 70’s Soviet.
