Similarities Between Mr. Tayep Erdogan and Mr. Nawaz Sharif
“O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.”
(Holy Quran 2: 208)
Last week people went about comparing the government of Mr. Nawaz Sharif and that of Mr. Erdogan after the coup attempt. I started a comparison myself and came up with the following results.
One can easily see the double standards of judgment by many people:
| Feature | Mr. Erdogan | Remarks | Mr. Nawaz Sharif
|
Remarks |
