TURKISH PM ERDOGAN DESCRIBES CONSTITUTION AS 'A HUGE LIE': 'SOVEREIGNTY BELONGS UNCONDITIONALLY AND ALWAYS TO ALLAH'; 'ONE CANNOT BE A MUSLIM, AND SECULAR'

From Atlas Shrugs:

Another moustached power-mad totalitarian bellowing about supremacy (this time in the name of allah, as opposed to Hitler). Close your eyes and listen to him. Seriously, who does he sound like?

Not only another meglomoenaical Islamic supremacist -- Obama's favorite and "most trusted" foreign ally:

Is it any wonder that Turkey is hurtling back centuries? The people are revolting against him -- watch this video.

From The MEMRI Archives: Turkish PM Erdogan in Speech During Term As Istanbul Mayor Attacks Turkey's Constitution, Describing it As 'A Huge Lie': 'Sovereignty Belongs Unconditionally and Always To Allah'; 'One Cannot Be a Muslim, and Secular' MEMRI
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose political origins are with the Milli Gorus – the radical and political Islamist movement founded by the former Islamist PM Erbakan - often attacked Turkey's secular regime and its constitution.
A video clip of one of PM Erdogan's speeches, delivered during his term as Istanbul’s mayor (1994-1998), can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg3hkWCnA8c
The following are excerpts from the speech:
PM Erdogan on Secularism:
"If the people want it, of course secularism will go away. You cannot rule this people by force; you don't have the power to do that. This [i.e. secularism] cannot work in spite of the people.
"And anyway, for the love of Allah, what is this secularism? You ask them to define it. They can't. They say that it varies from place to place. So what sort of a strange thing is this [secularism]?
"Today, for every concept there is a definition in the dictionary. Every concept must have a definition […] The interior minister comes and says that the state can interfere with religion. What about the rest? Why don't you say the rest? No! He does not say that the religion can interfere with the state.
"Yesterday I was at the Bosphorus University; and some of the – probably impressionable – young people there asked me, 'Mr. Mayor, what do you think about secularism? There are concerns that secularism is disappearing. What will happen?'
"This is what I said to those young friends: 'In the West they say, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God's. But this country's interior minister says that Caesar has rights but God does not!'
"But the fact is that 99% of the people of this country are Muslims. You cannot be both secular and a Muslim! You will either be a Muslim, or secular! When both are together, they create reverse magnetism [i.e. they repel one another]. For them to exist together is not a possibility! Therefore, it is not possible for a person who says 'I am a Muslim' to go on and say 'I am secular too.' And why is that? Because Allah, the creator of the Muslim, has absolute power and rule!"
PM Erdogan on Turkish Constitution and Democracy:
"As for [the motto of Turkish democracy] 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the people.' Now, look here. This is a lie! And it's a huge lie! We [former PM Erbakan's Islamist RP (Welfare) Party] suggested this to them for their constitution: We said 'Let's put brackets next to 'sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the people' and write within the brackets, 'once every five years.'
"They began to laugh. I asked them why they were laughing. Do the people have such a privilege, other than once every five years? Then what's-his-name says – and where does he say this? – it is in 1985 and we are having a discussion on the constitution in a meeting in the Marmara Hotel. He gets up and says 'No, this is not right.'
"At that moment, the former finance minister, who was completely drunk, also joins in to give advice. I told them that they must have prepared this constitution at the same table [at which they together consume alcohol]. Why? Because they do not prepare these constitutions with sober heads, but with drunken heads! That is why their constitutions last no more than two years.
"Now, this constitution is full of gaps and holes. Like a rag with patches. The other day journalists asked me what I think about this [constitution]. I said, Look, what do they say? That sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the people. You must think well. When [does the sovereignty belong to the people]? It is only when they go to the polls [every five years] that sovereignty belongs to the people. But both materially, and in essence, sovereignty unconditionally and always belongs to Allah!"
