Erdogan’s Anti-NYE’s Incitement: Terrifying moment jihadis dressed as Santa Claus burst into Istanbul nightclub and slaughtered 39 people

By Pamela Geller - on January 1, 2017

TURKEY


There is clear incitement for this religious act of barbarism. President Erdogan declared Christmas and New year un-islamic in all mosques. There have been widespread billboards, pamphlets, handouts, showing Muslims attacking the Santa. One billboard has members of Alperen Ocaklari (the youth organization of the Great Union Party in Turkey) holding a gun to Santa’s head.

The office of religion sent a directive to the imams and mosques under its control to denounce, decry and incite followers against New Year’s celebrations.

Cübbeli Ahmet Hoca, a Turkish imam, hafiz and most famous murid of Mahmuta, gave sermons about New Years celebrations, condemning them by saying “would you celebrate the day when your father’s killers do? Do not celebrate the days of your father’s killers and the enemies of your religion. Do not celebrate Christmas.”

Reina nightclub owner said they received intel of the attack, yet authorities failed to prevent it. Or chose not to.



There has been a very public violent campaign against Christmas and New Years.

Google translate: In the Ikitelli, Istanbul “no Christmas celebrations” by a large banner was hung. On the banner was depicted a fierce Ottoman youth punching Santa Claus. On that banner, he cautioned that a violent attitude towards the New Year’s celebrations.

Moreover, prepared by the Directorate of Religious Affairs for the New Year celebrations and taught in Friday sermons in all mosques “warning” was held. In Friday sermons,…

There were multiple gunmen.

Bullets ricochet outside #Reina nightclub where dozens were killed by gunman at New Year's Eve party in Istanbulhttps://t.co/WRiSlgmTev

7:14 AM - 1 Jan 2017
Turkish police have launched a huge manhunt for the gunman who stormed a nightclub in Istanbul during New Year celebrations and killed 39 people before leaving his weapon behind.

The gunman, who appeared to be dressed in a Santa Claus hat, opened fire in the Reina nightclub in Istanbul’s Ortaköy district sending terrified revellers diving into the Bosphorus River for cover.

A further 69 people are thought to have been wounded in the attack, which happened in the early hours of this morning.

It is unclear who carried out the shooting, however recent terror attacks in Turkey have been carried out by groups such as ISIS and Kurdish militants.

Already people in the city have started burying the dead, just 13 hours after the attack as per Muslim tradition which dictates people should be buried as soon as possible after their death.

And Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has revealed that the gunman left his weapon inside the venue and escaped by ‘taking advantage of the chaos’ that ensued.

But he also said there was no truth to reports that the attacker wore a Santa Claus costume, despite the CCTV footage from inside the club.

Fifteen of the casualties are believed to be foreign nationals, including one Israeli woman and people from Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Lebanon and Libya.

The gunman was described as raining down ‘a hail of bullets’ on the New Year revellers and is still on the run.

And now Turkey’s president Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to fight to the end against all forms of attack by terror groups and their backers.

In a statement he said: ‘As a nation, we will fight to the end against not just the armed attacks of terror groups and the forces behind them, but also against their economic, political and social attacks.

‘They are trying to create chaos, demoralize our people, and destabilize our country with abominable attacks which target civilians.

‘We will retain our cool-headedness as a nation, standing more closely together, and we will never give ground to such dirty games.’
