Erdogan's ten most absurd statements

Read Erdogan's ten most absurd statements:

1. We have known the Netherlands and the Dutch since the Srebrenica massacre. We know how they killed eight thousand Bosniaks there. Their story is dark, ours pure.

2. No investment without risk. Anyone who wants to live without danger should not even buy gas for the kitchen.

3. Germany is using Nazi methods.

4. The Netherlands is a banana republic.

5. The Turkish community and man everywhere bring love, friendship, tranquillity and comfort. Hatred and hostility can never be ours.

6. Muslims cannot commit genocide.

7. Democracy is just a train on which we board until we reach the goal. The mosques are our barracks, our minarets, the domes are our helmets, and the believers are our soldiers -- quoting a religiously motivated poem by Ziya Gökalp.

8. Contacts between Latin America and Islam can be discovered by the 12th century. 314 years before Columbus, Muslim sailors arrived in 1178 on the American continent. Columbus himself mentions a mosque on a hill off the coast of Cuba.

9. Women and men cannot be in the same position. This is against nature, because their natures are different.

10. Those who come to the Islamic world want oil, gold, and diamonds, want free workers' powers, and want confusion and strife. They don't want us to question things. Trust me, they don't want us.
