It's because he has no ideology. I mean he sort of has one, but it's never consistent. He is the Trump of Turkiye, he could have been a Democrat 20 years ago, and now a Republican. Right now Erdogan is ver nationalistic, but 20 years ago he was spearheading the movement against nationalism. 10 years ago, he wanted to be known as the leader who solved racism against Kurdish people. He just wants and says things that would make himself more powerful. He had his liberal phase, he now has his autocratic phase. He is a fierce capitalist, but promise him a lifetime of leadership and he'll turn his entire power structure into a communist party tomorrow.
Not giving any education to women is a pretty unpopular take, so it's no surprise he'd be against it. >

Calling Erdogan the "Trump of Turkiye" is dangerous for a number of reasons, not in the least because Erdogan is much smarter than Trump. He has always been very sly and thoughtful when it comes to Turkey's role on the international stage, careful to do enough to stay in the good graces of everyone, and in doing so, giving himself more wiggle room with his domestic policies despite how they may be perceived, by other members of NATO for example.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are often cited as the two major Muslim powers battling for dominance, but Erdogan no doubt sees an opportunity for Turkey to take on a greater role in Middle Eastern affairs, what with Iran melting down from the inside-out. Certainly, Turkey would not want to see the Saudis become more powerful. >

Iran is Persian, not Arab.
Edit: I am getting down voted because the person I responded to changed Arab to Muslim after I pointed it out, lol >

And were did he say Iran was Arab? >

I see an asterisk so they may have edited their comment from "Arab" to "Muslim" after having the mistake pointed out >

This guy's an embodiment of RNG. >

Erdogan is speed running his telenovela good/evil personality changes.

Third day, killing crocodiles. >

That's Bob Katter's job >

Man Turkey is the most chaotic neutral country ever. 
You never know what side they will take on some issue. 
It's like rolling a d20 >

Thats Erdogan for you. He doesn’t believe in anything at all. He’s an opportunist, and a populist, and his stance on anything is subject to change. That being said, saying you should allow women education isn’t very controversial. >

I feel like he wants to rebuild the center of Islamic power around Turkey and be his own fashion of Ottoman Sultanate. >

truth to be to told, Islam really needs more moderate people. >

The last, I’d say, two centuries have been very problematic for Islam. Last nail in the coffin was the British involvement in the Middle East during and around WW1. >

That was 100 years ago, at some point they got to realize it's their problem to fix and no historic blaming will do the trick. >

Sure but stability doesn’t happen so quickly. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is a quagmire.  The area is continually being destabilized by many different forces, internal and external. And radicalization is the natural conclusion for the impoverished and the uneducated, which makes the problems there cyclical. >

Not sure why people are surprised. Women are actually free to go to the university in Turkey. Afghanistan Taliban is just hella backwards by every standard. >

Considering the ever more authoritarian government in Turkyie it's just nice to see that not everything is bad. >

This is just the European propaganda machine because they don't like Turkish foreign policy. They call them authoritarian so they can sanction the shit out of them. In Turkey people drink, take drugs, fuck around party like in any other country. Women can do whatever the fuck they want. There's just a big disconnect just like in the US with rural areas and large city populous. Most Conservatives in the US live in rural areas just like in Turkey and support batshit crazy things like pro-life and shit. It's just that nobody really cares about the progressive half of Turkey thanks to media coverage. It'll be funny if the Democrats lose the next election. I expect the same sanctions and media coverage for the US, but that wont happen bc money. >

Erdogan is called authoritarian, which he is, not the Turkish people. Nothing propaganda about that >

Damn, you know you fucked up when erodgan is calling you out lmao. >

Taliban ban >

There ain't no ban like a Taliban ban >

Ain’t no ban like a taliban >

Tall Taliban ban >

They are Muslim in name only.  Similar to the Christian Nationalists.  They are only Christian in name.  Both groups use only the parts of the respective religions to control people and neither group follows the primary precept of both religions, which is love. >

Cant have a discussion about Islam without the inevitable "just like Christians tho!"
