The flags of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and Sudan were chosen because their governments are using Sharia law as a basis for government and because of their support for the spread of radical Islam. And this is something the West must learn from. But the fact remains-the “stealth jihad” of political Islam has been successful in Turkey. Polls show the vast majority of Turks oppose Osama Bin Laden, Hamas and Hezbollah, and we hope the election next July will reflect this opposition to radical Islam and the aligning of Turkey with enemies of the West. Although their votes put Erdogan’s party (and therefore, him) in power, we know not all Turks can be characterized as Islamists. We do not mention this to try to portray a negative image of the Turkish people.

As the CIA World Factbook explains, “the crescent moon and star serve as insignia for the Turks, as well as being traditional symbols of Islam.” Those symbols were chosen to signify Turkey’s status as a country with a Muslim identity-and will be used in the same fashion on the American flag should the country be overtaken by radical Islamic forces.

Unfortunately, it is today governed by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party, which has brought Turkey in the opposite direction.Įrdogan and his party’s initial 2002 election victory encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood, with its political chief saying the victory came as a result of the “exposing of the failure of the secular trend.” Turkey has become a leading provocateur of Israel and bastion of anti-Americanism. Turkey was once a staunchly pro-American ally with a secular identity. Turkey was chosen because the country serves as a reminder of what can happen if “stealth jihad” is successful. The flags that will be depicted are of countries that have instituted Sharia law in their country and/or sponsor the spread of radical Islam. The decision to include these flags is being made in order to reinforce one of the themes of the film: Radical Islam seeks to bring the world under Sharia law and the U.S.
