I looked at a few of his tweets and he seems to taunt Erdogan which he might want to grow up a bit and stop.
They are a bit sophomoric.
Im not saying he should not intellectualize his political and humanitarian views.
People, his parents cannot just immigrate here. Enes is not a US citizen and They won't just let them leave.
Its suspected his parents have to disown him in order to not be arrested or tortured.

I've no problem with people taunting and mocking ego maniac dictators and despots - it can be very powerful in a way logic cannot be

I don't have a dog in that fight. But if you got family stuck inside it matters. If you got windows that open it matters. you think dudes like Erdgogan don't have resources to stage an "accident" for Kanter??

I think Nalod is right here, Enes is pushing the envelope when he should be thinking about the safety of his family. If you want to take on risks for yourself that's one thing,but to put others (especially your own family) in harm's way so you can run your mouth and accomplish nothing is pretty stupid. I love this kid his heart and his obvious commitment to the Knicks, but he needs to tone it down on the political front for his family's sake.

Than Erdogan is winning, sometimes you have to sacrifice some people to save more people
Wow. Unreal. I think he'll be ok, just can't go back there I guess.
My thing -- what about his family over there? Will they be persecuted over this? If so, that's a shame. Hopefully he can bring them all over here.
Gulen is still here, so I think Kanter is safe.
I really don't think Trump will send him back, unless he gets something he cannot refuse. You know, he is always "American first". 
If I were Kanter, I would keep my mouth shut about Trump. I don’t know if he ever voiced his displeasures about him. Is he not able to pursue American citizenship? He certainly has the money to do so.

So he should sacrifice his family members by tweeting BS about Edrogan? That will accomplish what?
His family will probably get tortured or worse, and no one would care about his tweets. Idiotic post.

This sounds like USA is allready on the same level as Turkey ?

Hope is more politics and media around a world will start to pay more attention to this issue and put a pressure on that Turkish dictator

Enes Kanter is not going to save Turkey or the world its taunting Tweets.
HIs support for the Imam has raised the consciousness.
The more people speak about this the better

Well (not to get off topic), Trump wants to open up libel laws to sue the media. Pretty much a step in the same direction.
