Imagine the leader of the United States or the United Kingdom---or any other civilised country----assaulting someone, whether they be a child or an adult, over a comment. This not only shows unprofessional and thuggish qualities, but an ugly heart.

Thugs are not restricted to Islamists, however; they are inherent in all societies, but usually not the presidents of supposedly civilised countries. Erdogan is once again showing his true colours, and the world is watching.
