It was co-sponsored by the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The initiative seeks to galvanize international action against extremism through the forging of international, intercultural and interreligious dialogue and cooperation.

'International action against extremism'? Sponsored by Erdogan of all people? rolls on floor

Erdogan has transformed Turkey to an almost Islamist state. Years ago, he used to say that democracy was only a tool to get to power, and transform the country according to Islamic law. Everybody laughed, and didn't take it seriously.

But then people stopped laughing, after he did his first reforms. He tried to lower the age of consent IIRC, but had to retract the bill after many Turks complained.
