Cold Turkey

The Washington Times published a good article that summarizes some of the lies the Turkish media has been spreading about America. Again, I would ask you to pray that these efforts in no way hinder the spread of God's Word here.

"No one noticed as Turkey, an erstwhile ally, nabbed the gold medal recently in the global anti-American stakes. Those with the most negative views of the Bush administration's policies are (1) Turks with 82 percent; (2) Indonesians, 81 percent; (3) Lebanese, 80 percent; (4) Argentines, 79 percent; (5) Brazilians, 78 percent."

"After reading a long list of lies and distortions published by the Turkish media, the gold medal is hardly surprising. From left to right, and from centrist to Islamist, the United States is raked over hot coals with odious comparisons to Nazi Germany. The Middle East Media Research Institute has once again scored in bringing to our attention trends our mainstream media has ignored. The difference between what Osama bin Laden said in his 19 audio and videotapes since 9/11, and what some Turkish journalists write, is hard to detect. If anything, the Turks out-venom bin Laden."

"Bush," the venomous Turk continued, "who is an ally of the Zionists, belongs to the racist philosophy too. The beliefs of Bush's evangelical church coupled with Jewish racism, which exceeds Hitler's, are sufficient proof that the 'Sharon-Bush duo' is militants of the same fanatical philosophy. Hitler said he would establish a new order if Germany won. Bush is after similar invasions."
