Curried Turkey with Somali Pepper

The entire situation with the muzzies is so very complicated.  Although I love solving cryptic crosswords, I have given up trying to make sense from the various news items we are being fed these days. 

For example look at the three news items below ... one has you believing that  Al Qaeda and affiliates were responsible for the bombing of the Turkish embassy in Somalia where three people lost their lives and several others were injured.  The other two items want you to know that Turkey's leader wants Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood back in power and is of the firm opinion that a democratically elected leader should not have been removed in a coup.  

Based on those two items, and several others in the same vein from different news outlets, wouldn't you say that it was safe to conclude that Erdogan was a fan of the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension an ally of Al Qaeda and affiliates?   So ... how come his Al Qaeda allies attacked the Turkish embassy in Somalia?  Don't they know that Turkey's honcho is rooting for them and arming them to the teeth in Syria,  don't they know that Turkey is on the side of terrorism and is one of  their strongest allies ?  Nothing makes sense!!   Unless, the bombing of the Turkish property in Somalia was not the doing of Al Qaeda  .... that would then mean looking elsewhere for those responsible and that would open up a  brand new can of worms.   Hmmmmm ........

From PanArmenian:
Car bomb hits Turkish embassy  in Somali capital.  A car loaded with explosives rammed into the gates of an office housing Turkish embassy staff in the Somali capital, killing three people, witnesses and police said on Saturday, July 27, according to Reuters.
"A suicide car bomb targeted a building housing Turkish embassy workers near k4 (Kilometer Four)," Ahmed Mohamud, police officer told Reuters from the scene of the blast.
Mohamud later said the number of dead was three - Somali civilians and a suspected suicide bomber, while nine others had been wounded.
"The car was taking advantage of a Turkish car that was going into the building, thus the car bomb exploded and destroyed the gate," he said.
Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab rebels claimed responsibility for the attack, as they have for previous bombings, including one in mid-July that killed eight civilians.
"Mujahideen forces in Mogadishu have just carried out an operation targeting a group of Turkish diplomats in Hodan district," al Shabaab said on its Twitter feed............

From Reuters:
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, an outspoken supporter  of Egypt's ousted President Mohamed Mursi, lashed out at the European Union and others for failing to condemn strongly enough the killing of dozens in Cairo earlier on Saturday.....
...."Those who were silent when Egypt's national will was massacred are silent again when people are massacred. What happened to the EU (and) European values, where are those who go around giving lessons in democracy?" Erdogan said in a speech to a group of businessmen in Istanbul in televised comments....

From TodaysZaman:
Turkish Prime Minister   Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stated that he considers Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted by the military in early July, to be the president of Egypt.
“Currently, my president in Egypt is Morsi because he was elected by the people. Therefore, if we don't consider the situation like this, we would disregard the people of Egypt. Disregarding the will of the Egyptian people means disregarding yourself because in Turkey we respect the will of the people. We would respect the coup regime if they had won at the ballot box,” said Erdoğan at a fast-breaking dinner.......
