Cologne, Germany — A crowd of 16,000 expatriate Turks cheered Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a vast indoor auditorium in Germany on Sunday as he told them to resist assimilation into the West.

The political rally by Germany’s biggest ethnic minority upset German politicians, who objected to a major public event on German soil being advertised on posters in Turkish only.

Erdogan indirectly addressed those concerns, saying it was right for Turkish immigrants to learn German and other languages so they could integrate, but wrong to abandon their Turkish heritage and assimilate.

“Assimilation is a crime against humanity,” he told the crowd. Many Turks had travelled from France, Belgium and the Netherlands to hear his hour-long address in the shiny venue, the Koelnarena...........


Other ERDOGAN GEMS:“One cannot be a secularist and a Muslim at the same time.The Muslim world is waiting for Turkish people to rise up” he declared. Then there was the time he was sentenced to four months in prison for provoking religious animosity by publicly reciting the following lines: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers. . . . This holy army guards my religion.”

*Erdogan stated that democracy was like a bus: “You ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off.”

* “There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s that”
