Turkey Threatens NBA Player after Mocking Erdogan’s ‘Heart Attack’

By David Sidman July 25, 2019 , 1:53 pm

But let justice well up like water Amos 5:24 (The Israel Bible™)

After Celtics Center Enes Kanter mocked Ergogan’s alleged heart attack, the Turkish consulate in New York threatened the organizers of a free Basketball clinic that was to be given by the NBA star. Following the threats, the event was canceled.

The clinic was to be given by Turkish NBA player Enes Kanter. It was to be hosted by the Islamic Center of Long Island. But the event was canceled following threats that the mosque allegedly received from the Turkish Consulate according to Kanter.

Kanter tweeted that he was supposed to give the clinic this coming weekend for more than 300 children “as part of charity and giving back to all communities.” However, the Celtics center added that the Islamic Center of Long Island canceled the clinic soon after the Turkish Consulate of New York “threatened the mosque, sent out their goons and encouraged people in Turkey to call the mosque and leave threatening messages.”

It would have been the 34th clinic conducted by Kanter in more than “25 states this summer”, he noted.

“I do these camps as part of charity and giving back to all communities, whether they are Jewish, Muslim, Christian or have no faith at all,” Kanter added.

Rumors have been circulating on Social media claiming that Erdogan suffered a heart attack and even died.

The rumors reached Kantor who used the opportunity to mock the Turkish leader saying that Erdogan “Can’t have a heart attack. He doesn’t have a heart.”

Initially, the Turkish government refused to confirm or deny the rumors but when pressed about Erdogan’s health, an associate close to the matter said that Erdogan is “resting“.

He’s shagged-out from a long squawk. He’s pining for the fjords.
