Maybe this is one of the reasons they were trying to get those videos removed from the web? So they can't be used by extremists and the ill informed to promote their hatred based ideology?
And do understand only one Australian was sent back in a coffin the rest remain in Gallipoli.
Australians and New Zealanders didn't go to Gallipoli to wage war on Islam - Turkey had signed a pact to fight for Germany, and those from Australia and NZ were sent to the ill-judged expedition against Germany’s allies by British leaders. Basically the British fucked up and left the Aussies and Kiwis to be slaughtered.. tis a good history read for you.
Erdogan has an election coming up and he decided to use the horror of an Australian citizen slaughtering Muslims in New Zealand to present himself as a tough leader defending Islam against those who once invaded Turkey.. Which is wrong on all sides of history
Looks like he's taken a page out of Trumps election book and running with it.. trying to whip up a pre-election frenzy.
