You don't need to dig too deeply to spot the radically different approaches of the administration to the Egyptian government's crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Turkish Islamist regime's crackdown now which has thus far imposed a state of emergency, arrested tens of thousands of people and has now moved on to an attack on educational systems and financial analysts.
Questioned about Erdogan’s ongoing roundup of some 50,000 academics, judges, teachers, soldiers and civil servants, and the declaration Wednesday of a state of emergency, a State Department official earlier this week meekly warned against “overreach.”
“I cannot overstate the sense of the Turkish government and the Turkish people right now that they truly felt and truly feel under threat,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner told an Associated Press reporter at a department briefing. “We support completely the efforts to bring the perpetrators of the coup to justice. We just also caution against any kind of overreach that goes beyond that.”
But when pressed, Toner declined to characterize the arrest, firing or suspension of the tens of thousands of Turkish government workers as “overreach.”
The bias here is of course obvious and also makes it clear once again that Obama and his left-wing activists at State don't care about human rights, only empowering Islam.
