I'm surprised your fascist detector didn't went off scale when reading something penned by Paul Beliën.

When "something true" is a statement from Adolf Hitler echoed by Belgian-male version of Pam Geller featuring a Lemmy Kilmister moustache, this raises some serious questions ...
From Kazakhstan to Somalia , from Bosnia to Endonesia , such a united muslim World is not good for Vatican but above all not good at all for Israel.
As far as Hitler quote is concerned , well Erdogan doesn't have the same quilt complex like western people do
...
On a visit to Turkey during their June election, I found that the overwhelming majority of people I met really like their democratic system. Many didn't like Erdogan, but were afraid to say anything. Of those who did, half asked me to keep it anonymous, while the other half said they would be arrested anyway, and it didn't matter if I used their names.
Despite his party's win in the November election, Erdogan's ruling AKP does not have the votes to give their leader the Hitleresque power that he wants. But he is seeking a referendum to get those powers, which would likely ensure that Erdogan and his family will rule this NATO ally of the USA indefinitely, in a most undemocratic manner.
Should the United States break diplomatic relations with Erdogan's regime, help Turkey's civil society, review possible cuts to U.S. military aid to Turkey's government, or consider "smart sanctions" against Erdogan and his family? Erdogan's admission of admiration for Hitler demonstrates that doing nothing will not help the problem, any more than it did in the 1930s.

"guilt complex" is interesting.... I would say he doesn't have a conscience!

United Muslim world ? ... as if there was no Shia / Sunni divide.
And Erdogan's action in that context are one-sided too.
I wonder who is admiring Erdogan ...
ANKARA - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rejected attempts to call Turkey the representative of moderate Islam. "It is unacceptable for us to agree with such a definition. Turkey has never been a country to represent such a concept. Moreover, Islam cannot be classified as moderate or not," Erdoğan said, speaking at Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies late Thursday.
World has a choice ;
1 - United islamic world co-existing in peace .
2 - Disunited Islamic World at war with itself and with the World at large .
I choose option number 1 .
“I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.” Quran 8:12
“Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not the power so to do. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” Quran 8:59-60
“Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” Quran 9:73
“Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous.” Quran 9:123
“Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another…” Quran 5:51
“The unbelievers among the People of the Book [Bible] and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.” Quran 98:6
As for Erdogan not having a conscience ; He single handedly saved Somali kids from starvation , disease , death .

Remember that one ? - reported here by a Turkish source :
Prime Minister objects to ’moderate Islam’ label
ANKARA - Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rejected attempts to call Turkey the representative of moderate Islam. "It is unacceptable for us to agree with such a definition. Turkey has never been a country to represent such a concept. Moreover, Islam cannot be classified as moderate or not," Erdoğan said, speaking at Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies late Thursday.
And about the shiites - they are barely better than 'Gülenists' for him :
Which can only sound as a sensible statement when quoted by someone who shuts down social medias and imprison journalists in the country he is ruling, of course.

I choose option 3.
A world in which religion, prejudice and ignorance are pushed aside by science and spiritual freedom.
A united Islamic world will never co-exist in peace with kafirs and will always aspire to take over the world. Even if "progressive" Muslims will rule it, most will read the Quran as is:
“I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.” Quran 8:12

Turkey, like many other countries, wants to lay its hands on Africa's natural resources and to exploit new markets as the continent develops. I really doubt that Erdogan entered Somalia only to "save Somali kids", as he did a lot more than that.
In any case, nobody expects him to take personal responsibility for the Armenian Genocide, he is expected to recognize history, nothing more. A person doesn't need to develop a guilt complex for that.
