His only crime is him being a devout and proud Muslim and patriotic Turkish man. Likes of him are littered all the world and those people are respected and revered because they are usually Jews or Christian. and by the power of media, you can make anyone saint or satan. I like anyone who stands up for his or her own principals and this is the only reason I respect Erdugan and the reason I always respected Mohammad Ali.

Muhammed Ali's family was very rude if they didn't allow Erdogan to speak. Erdogan is a leader of all muslim world. He is the one who supports and helps poor people all around the world. He should have allowed to give a speech in Muhammed Ali's funeral. If Muhammed Ali was alive he would never allow this to happen. I heard that Muhammed Ali's family is not peaceful people. They have no strong character like Muhammed Ali. Erdogan didn't lose anything by not giving a speech in funeral. He is in the heart of many muslims. He is the strongest voice of all muslim world.

It's because he started giving political speeches at the prayer meeting, talking about Assaad. Clearly Ali's family didn't want him to hijack the funeral to further his political BS, so they denied him time on stage.

all of you are brainwashed how can you associate someone with honor and respect ISIS by the way I don't think there is no president who is respectful and more generous than him know the reality before you judge someone. ( look before you leap). in his country there are people of different religion and race and he never mistreated anyone. respect is too way traffic, how can they not even give 5 minutes talk to the president I am sure he would give Obama. you can not try to be good it is in born. however the prayers is the most important part and he did.
