The Turkish
foreign minister is correct. There will be wars of religion in Europe again.
Because that's what happens when the Turk invades Europe:
Anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders may have fallen short
in this week's election in the Netherlands, but his views were shared by all
the Dutch parties and are pushing Europe towards "wars of religion",
Turkey's foreign minister said on Thursday.
Centre-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte fended off the Wilders challenge in a victory hailed across Europe by governments facing a rising wave of nationalism.
The reaction in Ankara was less sanguine. Turkey has been locked in a deepening row with the Netherlands after the Dutch barred Turkish ministers from holding rallies among overseas Turks.
"Many parties have received a similar share of votes. Seventeen percent, 20 percent, there are lots of parties like this, but they are all the same," Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said at a rally in the southern city of Antalya.
"There is no difference between the mindsets of Geert Wilders and social democrats in the Netherlands. They all have the same mindset ... That mindset is taking Europe to the cliff. Soon wars of religion may and will start in Europe."

The
fact is that Europe is already being invaded. The European nations simply
haven't started fighting back very seriously yet. But they will, and the Turks
already know that. They were simply hoping to be in a stronger position by the
time the latest round of Vienna-Lepanto-Tours-Târgovişte-Vaslui kicks off
again.
