Homophob Ali Erbaş "Go to Holland"

‘Go to Holland’ is the bizarre new homophobic slur in Turkey after Muslim cleric curses LGBTIs. Turkish homophobes have added a strange new slur to their vocabulary: “Yallah Hollandaya”, which translates to “Go to Holland”.

The hashtag #YallahHollandaya began trending on Turkish Twitter after Ali Erbaş, the director of the Turkish institute for religious affairs (Diyanet), publicly declared that “Islam curses homosexuality”.

“What wisdom is behind this? That it brings diseases and leads to population decline,” he said in a sermon to mark the beginning of Ramadan. “Hundreds of thousands of people are exposed annually to the HIV virus, which is caused by this great haram, known as adultery in Islamic literature. Let’s fight together to protect people from this kind of evil.” The popular sermon was broadcast online and spread through social media, sparking a homophobic hashtag that was trending until Monday.

According to Dutch media, “Go to Holland” has been used before, but never by so many. It was joined by the hashtag #AliErbasyanlizdegil (Ali Erbaş is not alone).
