1. Turkey's brutality expressed as genocide may harm Islam's future image. War and genocide are political expressions. ISIS was not given religious protection. It was viewed as political. When religion converts to politics through acts like genocide the religion can be regulated.
2. The ISIS Black Flag is a lawful bombing target. Even on a Mosque. Erdogan's genocide can convert Turkish nationalist Islamism to political expression under US law, that can result in expression being regulated in the US.

3. your love of Nazi ideology because it was a political expression of genocide even if Hitler claimed it was a religion.

Erdogan claims to lead Muslims who have not universally denounced his Kurdish/Christian genocide. So in time IMO Islam can start to be limited as political
4. expression that advances genocide and warfare. US Constitution does not protect that form of expression nor protect it as religious expression. @KSAmofaEN should speak up. Failure to speak in the s face of such evil may be adoption of the evil. Erdogan can destroy Islam.
5. Perhaps that is really his goal.
