What do Syria, Egypt and Libya have common? They are all at various degrees of cold war with Turkey, which they accuse of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and similar Islamist terrorists in their countries. Turkey has never denied support, but claims that the Muslim Brothers are just democratic elements in politics.
In a span of only 24 hours, on August 13, 2013, Muslim Brotherhood militias attacked and destroyed 52 churches in Egypt.
During the short-lived rule of their president, Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brothers, in well-documented incidents, threatened, attacked, kidnapped, tortured, beheaded and killed dozens, if not hundreds, of Christians, including a 10-year-old girl; and damaged and looted their property -- until, after mass protests, Morsi was overthrown in 2013. During the Muslim Brotherhood's systematic massacres against Egypt's Christians, no Turkish leader was heard criticizing a single incident targeting Christians. After Morsi's downfall, however, they have never
ceased loudly condemning the man who toppled Morsi, General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.
Most recently, Turkey's biggest Muslim Brotherhood fan, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said, "For me, Morsi is Egypt's president, not Sisi." On May 17, an Egyptian court sought the death penalty for Morsi and 106 Muslim Brotherhood supporters, in connection with a mass jailbreak in 2011. A final ruling is expected on June 2. The case, like all capital sentences, will be referred to Egypt's top religious authority, the Grand Mufti, for an opinion, before any executions can take place. In Ankara, Erdogan's spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, threatened that the Middle East would be thrown into turmoil if Egypt carried out its death sentences.
Which countries in the Middle East have poured billions of dollars in aid into the regime of Sisi "the coup-maker" in Cairo? Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Which leader in the Middle East has fiercely confronted Sisi's regime in Cairo? Erdogan. Which countries in the Middle East are Erdogan's best allies? Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Which regime, among others, allied with Saudi Arabia in a recent military offensive against Yemen's pro-Shiite Houthi militias? Sisi's. Which country in the world probably has the most powerful political leverage on Sisi's regime in Cairo? Saudi Arabia. Where does Turkey want to lobby against executions of Morsi and his Brothers? In the West.
Which countries does Turkey urge to speak loudly against the executions? Western countries. Has Erdogan or any other Turkish official ever publicly urged Saudi Arabia or Qatar to use their influence on Egypt to stop the executions? Never. To whom does the exiled Muslim Brotherhood
official appeal to in order to stop the executions? The international community -- the powerful Christian world. What an irony that the Brothers seek the help of Christians to stop the executions of their leaders - the same Christians they massacred en masse only three years ago. Too complicated? No. Just Turkish.
Holding his right hand in the four fingered Rabaa "salute" Prime Minister erdogan demonstrates his identification with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

Ground Zero for the Acknowledgment of the Islamic State: Turkey
The Guardian reported Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan invited the expelled Muslim Brothers to reside in Ankara, a detail corroborated by International Business Times , The Daily Beast , and Egypt's Al Arabiya . The seven key figures were reported to be Wadi Ghaneim, Gamal Abdul Satar, Issam Teleima, Asharaf Bader Eddin, Mahmoud Hussein and Hamza Zawba.
World Net Daily reported of Erdogan's deep collaboration with ISIS through logistics, intelligence and satellite imagery. Egyptian intelligence, according to WND, reported " Turkish intelligence is passing to ISIS satellite imagery and other data, with particular emphasis on exposing to ISIS jihadists the positions of Kurdish fighters and the storage locations of their weapons and munitions."
The official also confirmed reports Turkey released ISIS terrorists from jail "in a sweeping deal with the jihadist organization that saw the release of 49 hostages from the Turkish embassy in Mosul who were being held by ISIS." While some reports claim Turkey may have released at least
180 ISIS terrorists in the deal, the Egyptian official said the number of ISIS terrorists released was closer to 700.
Many reports showcase Turkey's role in supporting the Brotherhood with weapons and activists, including the Turkish Intelligence officer Irshad Hoz who was arrested in Egypt. Turkey received many fugitives after the June 30 revolution, in coordination with Hamas in Gaza and the state of
Qatar.
