A recent article in Dutch newspaper accuses the rector of Islamic University of Rotterdam, Ahmet Akgündüz, of spreading intolerance, anti-western beliefs etc. And he is also quoted today in our social media circles of blaming Occupy Gezi activists as “mosque enemies, communist union leaders, pro-Asad people who murders Muslims, Alevites etc.”
Before he disappeared from Turkey media scene, he was known to promote a mythical Islamised Ottoman Empire, which had no scientific basis but already ideologically located in Turkey’s conservative/ right wing circles. Now he moves to Europe to promote such intolerant dogmatic ideas while he uses European standards of freedom of speech in order to defy Western lifestyles.
