For those not engaged in navel gazing.
Politicians in a tribal state and Erdogan is a politician, not a Leader without elections, Must always prop up their legitimacy, with the promise of a return of a great Historical period of Power. The Fact of this Church/Mosques being one thing then another in a long history of wars for supremacy, is why it draws no notice from the Western public. Except for those who might hope to destroy Religion's influence on the World as a sign their vision of a free world, "no Religions!" has once again slipped from their grasp.
Erdogan, politicians, Leaders (with or without election), Abrahamic Religions ( Judaism, Xtianity and Islam), are ALL illegitimate as they depend on hierarchical coercion and duress. SJWs and their ilk are no better than "the Moral Majority" of not long ago or the Inquisition of a few centuries ago.
Anarchy (no Rulers) is the only way to establish peace on this Earth.
Each of us is our own Savior, Prophet and Messiah.
It is ONLY by granting Rights and Powers that no individual possesses to others that Hell descends on Earth. History and the current state of affairs. is all the evidence required.
