Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Dr. Ali Erbaş, the Turkish minister of religious affairs, spoke at a June 18 memorial service held in Turkey in honor of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who had died the previous day.
Erbaş referred to Morsi as a martyr and prayed for Allah to grant Turkish children and youth the ability to view people like Morsi as role models. Erdoğan said that he believes Morsi, who he also said was a martyr, did not die a “normal” death, and that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is a weak coward, a tyrant, and a killer who should burn in hell.
The crowd chanted several slogans, including: “Down with the rule of the military,” “Allah is our goal, the Prophet Muhammad is our role model, the Koran is our constitution, jihad is our path, and death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,” and “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return.”
The videos in this clip were uploaded to the Internet by the YouTube channel of the Turkish Ministry of Religious Affairs and TicToc by Bloomberg.
