Erdogan calls on US to extradite Pennsylvania-based cleric after failed Turkey coup
Fox News ^ | July 16, 2016

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the U.S. Saturday to extradite a Muslim cleric living in Pennsylvania following a failed military coup.

In a televised speech Saturday night, Erdogan said Turkey had never refused any request by the U.S. to extradite “terrorists” and invoked Washington and Ankara's relationship as "strategic partners" in an effort to force the return of Fethullah Gulen.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday the Obama administration would entertain an extradition request but Turkey would have to prove wrongdoing by Gulen.

He didn’t break any US laws.

The US has laws that apply to Muslims, DemoRats, Socialists, Anarchists, and Negro agitators?

We need to extradite 50 nukes from Incirlik.

Just say the word and NATO will be right on it.

The Coup failed. So the question is was Obama and John Kerry behind it? It was a failure so it must have been poorly planned. Makes you wonder.

“That’s a joke right?”

Nope.

“Erdogan doesn’t get to dictate demands without evidence”

He wants a Muslim cleric living here in the US, I say send him over.

Why allow him to stay here?

Get rid of him.

Obama is probably packing his bags himself and getting AF-1 fueled up for him. Only the best for his buddies.

“You want to give in to fascist like Erdogan? Hell no. We shouldn’t capitulate to the madman”

You want to keep Muslim clerics in this county?

When some idiot wants him over there?

Hell no.

Get rid of him.

The less muslim clerics here, the better.

Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?

“You probably also believe a stupid video was responsible for Benghazi.”

You probably believe in increasing Muslim immigration will ‘make America stronger’.

Get rid of the Muslim cleric. Get him out.

His extended family too.
