This #MustWatch video is insanely sick and dangerous! Not just Muslim soldiers over the centuries taking over the #HagiaSophia, but it closes with a picture of Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

The video also shows Erdogan wishing safe passage to the Turkish oil exploration ship that is threatening war with Greece & friends.

Erdogan doesn't see himself as the Caliph of the Neo-Ottoman Empire?
Here with the PA's Abbas and on the Temple Mount - Haram al Sharif.

Caution: difficult pictures.

The last time the Turks tried to capture Jerusalem was a counter-attack at Tel el-Ful after Allenby's capture of Jer'm in 1917. It didn't go very well for them.
(BTW, Tel el-Ful was site of Jordan's King Hussein palace.)

The Turkish video also shows the Kaaba in Mecca, Mohammed's grave in Medina, the Hagia Sophia (once a church) in Istanbul, and the Temple Mount. Megalomania.
