Erdogan says Islamophobia on rise in US - from TRUNEWS

(TRUNEWS) During his U.S. visit this past week, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan decided to take some time away from opening mega mosques and getting booed by protestors in Washington, to comment negatively on U.S. politics.

Islamophobia is on the rise in the United States and U.S presidential candidates have targeted Muslims during the election campaign, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Speaking at the opening of a Turkish-sponsored mosque and religious complex outside Washington, Erdogan also said recent terrorist attacks in Brussels and Paris paled in comparison to what Turkey had endured.
