		<description>Emine Erdogan is a lovely lady with a merciful heart. She is admired by Turkish muslims. I find her very down to earth and very genuine. I recall her crying after the Davos incident since she was very upset with the treatment Tayyip Erdogan received. She has such an open heart. Also, I heard from some personal sources that she is very careful with her prayers never missing one despite her ultrahectic schedule. 

I love her modest style of clothing. Turkish hypocrites find her old fashioned and gaudy. Especially, at the beginning of Erdogan&#039;s first term in the office, her pictures were constantly on hypocrites&#039;new papers. Emine Erdogan is the first First Lady that wears hijab in Turkey. The hypocrite journalists were inviting fashion designers to critique her wardrobe. Thank Allah, they give up this kind of insult eventually. 

The story of marriage of Emine and Tayyip Erdogan is also quite interesting. Emine Erdogan saw Tayyip Erdogan in her dream without knowing whom he is and the next day they were introduced by a common friend. Emine Erdogan was amazed that this was the gentleman she saw in her dream. 

Their children are known to be intelligent and modest.  They have two sons and two daughter.  One of the sons (Bilal) is a copy of Tayyip Erdogan and he is a PhD from Harvard. One of the daughters (Esra) is also physically very similar to Tayyip Erdogan. I hope to see them in politics in the future inshaAllah. Both of their daughters have degrees (BA and MA) from US (Purdue) and UK (London School of Economics). The younger daughter (Sumeyye) is the only one who is still single among their children. 

Erdogan&#039;s ancestors are muslims from Georgia (Ajar) and Emine Erdogan is originally from an eastern city called Bitlis which is predominantly ethnically Arabic. Both of them are born and raised in Istanbul so their ethnicity has little effect on their upbringing. Tayyip Erdogan graduated from Imam Hatip High School which is a vocational school to educate imams and khateebs (to deliver a religious sermon). He has some understanding of Arabic. I am not sure about his practical proficiency. Then, he attended Marmara University in Istanbul to have a BA in Business. I am not sure about Emine Erdogan&#039;s education. But for sure, she does not have a university degree. 

Note to the Editor: Use of hyprocrite is not name calling. Quran classifies people as belivers, hypocrites and disbelievers. Turkish hypocrites are a group that say that &quot;Alhamdulillah, they are muslims.&quot; but they deny Allah&#039;s law at many points.</description>

		<description>Ones&#039; terrorists are others&#039; freedom fighters.

Most of European Jewish groups and their leaders were declared &quot;terrorists&quot; by the British government prior to 1948 Jewish occupation of Palestine. After the UN imposition of Zionist state upon Palestinians - some of those &quot;Jewish terrorists&quot; bcame Israel&#039;s prime ministers, presidents and Chief of Army.</description>

		<description>Hello,

I&#039;m doing research on terrorism, and I&#039;ve put together a pre-survey questionnaire that I&#039;m circulating in order to get feedback on what a non-biased (non-western, non-white) survey might look like. I need to hear from other voices. I’m particularly interested in incorporating the views of women, non-whites, and people living outside of America and Western Europe.
The final survey will go out later this year.

The pre-survey questionnaire can be accessed at 

johnmaszka.com/SURVEY.html

Would you post it, and possibly circulate it? 
I&#039;d appreciate it.

Thank you!
Take care,

John Maszka</description>
