Erdogan is one of the top-notch politician in the world today. We are talking about a person who used to sell mail stickers as a boy and now he is the president of his country.
Erdogan has conservative social policies, but liberal economic policies. Under his 11 year rule, Turkey GDP has increased by 400%. I know his AKP party is crumbling and Abdullah Gum will not be signed as PM soon, because of disagreement with Erdogan and Gum. He will probably appoint Ahmet Davutoglu as PM, because he is just a yes men to Erdogan, who did not win enough votes to secure enough seats in parliament, for him to transform the Turkish constitution so he could give the President more executive powers, then just the ceremonial position the President has today. He can attain support from liberals because of his economic policies and from conservatives for his social policies . He is not very effective many people among the AKP disagree with him and he has handled Turkey's foreign policy disastrously.
He is playing the big brother , even try to decide how many children should a family have
some people may like control freaks as an image of power and follow them them mesmerised -this is the case here..
Plus he is not a normal Muslim..Normal Muslims in Turkey don't support extemist groups such as Muslim brothers
Historically Ottomans were enemy of Selefi/Wahhabi even executed many of them - This guy allied himself with them but still play Neo Ottomanism One day he talks bad about every kind of natipnalism another day he adoptes Nogai march for his party propaganda or use Turk empires as advertisement material for his campaign.
corruption is another problem
and poor security cause many of our miners death because miner company owners are his homies ..
There are many..but west ,as usual talk bad about political islam on media , shake hands behind the walls.
We hate him because: He wants to build a totalitarian regime which has great resemblance to the one founded by Stalin. He has no respect to rule of law and separation of powers and thus democracy. He has no other option than following this totalitarian line as otherwise he'll be severely prosecuted for the crimes he committed that include even treason. He's a deeply racist person who wants to classify people all according to their ethnic backgrounds and religions they belong. He leads the country to an eventual civil war. People are arbitrarily promoted or sacked depending on their loyalty or disloyalty to his party. As a result very incompetent people are promoted and this leads to disasters and mistrust in society. I hope I could sum all reasons up.
Erdogan didn't brought the seculerism to turkey. he just opened mosque to everywhere.
The people you think Erdo?an are those called secular by people who know nothing about Turkey aren't secular at all. Their ideology is mixture of ideology of the communist regimes and the ideology of fascist Europeans. Both the communist regimes in the USSR and China confiscated religious property, ridiculed religion, harassed believers, and propagated atheism in schools. The fascist regimes in Europe have preached ultranationalism and spewed hatred of racial or ethnic minorities.
The Turkish secular elites have been a mixture of the two. They confiscated the properties of the Churches and Muslim groups, have ridiculed and harassed Muslims, preached ultranationalism and spewed hatred of racial or ethnic minorities. The people of non-Turkish origin was even regarded as foreigners by the Turkish Constitutional Court and the rights of foreigners with Turkish origin were considered more important than the rights of Turkish citizens with non-Turkish origin. The properties have been returned to their rightful owners by Erdo?an's government, the rights of both religious and ethnic minorities have been improved by Erdo?an's government, the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression have been reinstalled by Erdo?an's government, before that you couldn't even criticize any institution of the state, especially the army. There was a news magazine named Nokta, it was closed down by its owner in 2007 under military pressure after revealing several coup plots. Errdo?an's government has changed it all.
Erdo?an isn't too religious, he's just a normal Muslim. They want atheists or people ridiculing Muslims and the middle class to rule Turkey, even it's through coups, not elections. Just like the Arab leaders, Turkish fascist elites were controlled by the West. Erdo?an has changed this. He wants a strong, rich, modern and free Turkey in peace with its history, culture and traditions.
So, they aren't secular in the same sense one would think in the West, they hate Muslims and Islam. They would say they're Muslim, if you ask them, but wouldn't mind even insulting Muslim people outright. They have no idea as to what real secularism mean. It was Erdo?an who praised secularism in Egypt when Morsi was in the Office before the coup, becuase Erdo?an knows secularism doesn't mean the oppression or persecution of believers.
Erdo?an have brought the real secularism in Turkey. Erdo?an have brought more freedom and human rights to Turkey. The so-called secularists who exploited and enjoyed all the benefits of the State, while oppressing the majority. Now, they have no priviledge, they used to have, thanks to Erdo?an. That's why they hate Erdo?an.
It is somewhat like what happened in Venezuela. Venezuelans overwhelmingly believe, and they are right to do so, that their country's economic and political elites have robbed them of their fair share of national wealth for decades. It was the same in Turkey. There were many army officials who earned about 2-3k monthly, but whose all children studied abroad in prestigious universities and when these military officials retired from their positions, they immediately become directors of some company, whereas they know nothing about running a company or private sector.
You can find Western supported leeches all around the world, in South America, in the ME, in Africa, in the Central Asia and in other parts of the world. This is an unarmed colonization of the Western powers.
Like in Venezuela, the elites in Turkey also control the mainstream media, so they spread baseless lies about him and if there is one or two who hates Erdo?an, they would say the majority of the Turks hate him.
we dont like him bc we are secular country! and mostly people do not want he is islamic regime! We are turkish not arab! but he is want to convert us like a arab country! thats why we dont like him. also he is and he is family stole a lot money from us. there so many phone tape he is talking with he is son. about money...
It is only the double standarded secularists who bash him. They claim want equal rights and choices, yet if women choses to wear hijab, they change their standards.
Hate is a very powerful word to use .. dislike is what you are looking for..
he is narrow minded, blocking turkey from development
