   (Ankara)  It appears that the march towards a pure Islamic caliphate inside   
   Turkey continues with the Pocket Dictator banning TV dating shows, which   
   followed the banning of Wikipedia which followed the sacking of 4000 public   
   servants which followed last    
   Wednesdays sacking of 9000 police officers.   
   Also banned was the drinking of alcohol in public place in the tourist resort   
   of Antalya   
      
   The Turkish government has excused all of the above by saying in its Official   
   Gazette that all those sacked were suspected of links to "terrorist   
   organisations and structures presenting a threat to national security.   
      
   Also on Saturday Erdoğan hinted of invading Northern Iraq in which to tackle   
   not ISIS, but the Kurds who are fighting them:   
      
   "Turkey knows what to do and when to do it, we may come there overnight all of   
   a sudden,"   
   Numan Kurtulmus Turkey's deputy prime minister Saturday suggested that the   
   Muslim world could do more to protect Islam’s rightful place in Jerusalem.   
      
   "Unfortunately, we see a Jerusalem that is under the occupation of   
   Zionism, as well as Israel's violation of international law. No Muslim   
   country has made Jerusalem a top issue, partially as a result of the   
   conflicts plaguing Muslim regions. But now Jerusalem’s importance for   
   the Muslim world is growing. Humanity needs to learn lessons from Pax   
   Ottomana”
