People criticize Erdogan for not doing enough, which is fair to some extent. But how many other leaders of major Muslim-majority countries do as much as Erdogan for the cause of Islam? How many others are willing to speak so openly against Israel, criticize sectarianism, and call for transnational Muslim cooperation against Israel? Erdogan does this even though he knows this means the US and Israel will target him for removal (e.g., 2016 coup attempt, support for his rival Imamoglu). He knows he will be targeted in the same way as Imran Khan.
