Turkish Professor: Opposing Erdogan Is 'Haram'

The rector of a university located in Turkey's south-eastern province of Şanlıurfa said obeying Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a religious obligation for Muslims, Ahval agency reports, referring to T24.

When asked if Erdogan was ''alone,'' Taşaltın responded by saying, ''Of course he is. He was alone when he was fighting against FETÖ, too,'' in an apparent reference to the Gülen movement, which Ankara accuses of orchestrating the July 2016 coup attempt and designates a terrorist organisation.

''Islamically, it is fard al-ayn (an individual obligation) to obey Erdogan and opposing him is haram (unlawful)...'' the rector added, noting, however, that the errors of Turkey's president must be pointed out.
