Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan comparing violence in Xinjiang, China to ”genocide” is like…
…Mubarak denouncing dynastic rule.
…Saad Hariri speaking out against nepotism.
…Mohammad VI speaking out against settlers in Palestine.
…Zadari fighting against domestic abuse.
…Saudi Arabia decrying corrupting foreign influences.
…Abu Mazen insulting another leader as “boring” and “lacking courage”.
…Anderson Cooper calling someone a homo.
…Baruch Marzel and bin Laden coming out in a joint statement against religious fundamentalism.
…Netanyahu condemning terrorism.
…Wa’ed telling me how damn sexy I am.

Posted by Lena | July 13, 2009, 6:26 pmMohammad VI is the King of Morocco. He has perpetuated the settler movement of Moroccans in Western Sahara started by his father Hassan II.
Posted by Nimr | July 13, 2009, 6:32 pmWait. I dont get it. This piece would make sense if we all understood Erdogan to have committed genocides. Which genocide is Kabobfest accusing Erdogan of having committed? Is Kabobfest accusing Zardari of hitting Benazir? A link, even to a rumor, would have helped.
Posted by jawad | July 13, 2009, 6:59 pmAlthough he has (obviously) never ordered a genocide, Erdogan has denied the Armenian genocide, so the hypocrisy is about him demanding a genocide be recognized by others.
The Asif Zardari jab was submitted by one of my fellow Kabobers and I understood it not in re: to his late wife, but rather about how he has tried to placate extremists in NWFP and caved to their demands which has resulted in legalizing forms of domestic abuse. (sorry for the ugly run-on sentence).

By the way, it's like George Bush telling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that he was democratically elected in the 2000 presidential elections.
