Erdogan leaves the US and does not attend Muhammad Ali's funeral because the organizers do not allow him to perform what I assume are muslim rituals. Laying a quran verse onto the coffin or reading it during the speech, apparently both requests were denied and he was taken off the list of speakers in favor of someone else as well.

What will be next? Erdogan threatens the US with sanctions?

He was denied because somebody had already done those rituals, he's not needed.

From what I understand he wasn't denied to attend, but was not allowed to speak. I wouldn't want that supermarketrolltoddler anyway. Constantly offended and getting increasingly creepy

Recep Tayib Erdoğan: for when Kim Jong Un just isn't egomaniacal enough...

I wouldn't want to be near him when he heard it. He was welcome at the funeral, says a lot about his character that he didn't. The guy is a walking steotype of a Turk with honour
