Spotlight: Turkey’s Turn Toward Terrorism
Why is Turkey—a NATO member and ostensible U.S. ally—supporting and hosting terrorists? Why are Hamas’s leaders—joined by hundreds of Hamas terrorists, including those wounded in Gaza fighting U.S. ally Israel—safely ensconced in a “friendly” country? Why did Turkey sponsor Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorists who, having toppled Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, now slaughter ethnic and religious minorities?

NATO—the West’s strategic alliance of democracies—exists to defend its members against the kind of regime Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan leads. It is time for the U.S. and its Western allies to demand that Turkey either cease its sponsorship of terrorism or face sanctions and ostracization from the civilized world.

Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
