Basically, Austria has taken a slight right turn politically and is (rightfully so, in my opinion), closing down mosques associated with terrorists such as Turkey's Grey Wolves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Wolves_(organization)). One of the mosques in question (in Austria), put on a Gallipoli reenactment (https://www.malaymail.com/s/1621707/children-reenact-gallipoli-in-austrian-mosque).



Erdogan said in a speech in Istanbul: 'These measures taken by the Austrian prime minister are, I fear, leading the world towards a war between the cross and the crescent.'

Erdogan, speaking Saturday, said: 'They say they're going to kick our religious men out of Austria. Do you think we will not react if you do such a thing?'

'That means we're going to have to do something,' he added without elaborating.

Respond to specific, verified terrorism threats - and in response get a bunch of sabre rattling and the politically toned version of 'How dare you call us violent, we'll kill you!'.

Can't say I'd expect much different from Erdogan, given how he responded to that attempted coup.

That's Turkey for you, the world would be better off if it was a small sea instead.
