Sunni Alliance

After a silence of nearly two days - and after most reactions from all over the world had been heard - Numan Kurtulmu?, the Turkish government's spokesperson and deputy prime minister, responded to the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran on the evening of Jan. 4.

Can there be anything more absurd? Well, probably. After all, the world is going through such a period that every day the level of absurdity is being carried to new heights. Still, the creation of a Sunni Alliance led by Saudi Arabia with the aim of fighting Sunni, Salafist, jihadist, Islamist terrorism might constitute a new and hard-to-be-surpassed world record in absurdity.
