Prohibiting freedom of expression (the headscarf), siphoning off the money, interfering with and hobbling free trade, and promoting a surge in prostitution, gambling, drunkenness, and irresponsibility. <br /><br />I'm overjoyed to see that the democracy in Turkey has worked to this extent. The people are enlightened enough at least to know what works for them, and are attempting to limit the power of the old dictatorships masquerading under the banner of the Turkish army (the corrupt politicians like Saddam Hussein and the like who were propped up by America just like these generals are now). <br /><br />The party stood with people in the streets in Cairo, Tunisia, and other Middle Eastern nations trying to shed their corrupt, American-supported human rights-violating dictators and trying to establish proper, moral Islamic governments. I'm happy virtues and values are coming back to Turkey and the rest of the Middle East, and can only hope and pray the trend continues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-46548970708505373862008-08-27T19:52:00.000-07:002008-08-27T19:52:00.000-07:00Mr Logan Turkey is not exactly what this artcle pe...Mr Logan Turkey is not exactly what this artcle perecieves it to be. Turkey is a democratic state and maybe the present govt is quite islamist but if 98% of people are Muslims what do you expect. The real test is to ask non-muslims how they feel living in Turkey. Do they believe it is secular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-35573864735099005562008-08-16T00:31:00.000-07:002008-08-16T00:31:00.000-07:00Anonymous from Turkey is partially correct - the E...Anonymous from Turkey is partially correct - the EU membership quest IS a tool to ensure the military is subordinate to the politicians.

What bothers me is , prejudgments, concealed thoughts and illiteracy about Turkey which can be seen miles away from your comments (including Mr. Sorry Logan ) .<BR/><BR/>AKP won power via free and fair elections conducted by its ideological rivals. It never had recourse to violence, never murdered opponents, never robbed banks to finance itself and never burned hundreds of people alive to terrorize public opinion.<BR/><BR/>The AKP forced no one into exile, didn't fill the prisons with opponents, provoked no wars and did not tear up the constitution. Nor did it destroy the Turkish state's institutions, notably the armed forces<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I feel like I wasting my time yet I will use my right to comment about your comments.<BR/><BR/>Iran and Turkey comparison;<BR/><BR/>Don’t be ridiculous. I’d strongly advise you read little bit more about Islamic models. Start from, Al Azhar, The Iranian Islamist movement’s Marxist-Leninist-Maoist plus Europen facist background and then concept of the walayt faqih (little help “guardianship of the theologian”)<BR/><BR/>EU comments; What EU ! It is an economic giant but a political dwarf. ... EU is only a tool not a goal for Turkey. Besides, believe me we are not dying to pay Mr. Sarkozy’s playboy activities or Carla’s next album. <BR/><BR/>Special note to very red, heartland state resident “Don’t leave your day job”<BR/><BR/>Have a great day my devoted Christian brothers and sistersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-20238961124371061732008-08-03T11:32:00.000-07:002008-08-03T11:32:00.000-07:00Thank you Ma SandsMaggie, you are correct, once th...Thank you Ma Sands<BR/><BR/>Maggie, you are correct, once these type of people get into power. it is almost impossible to get them out, i.e. Iran.Christopher Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-60546479792638382562008-08-03T11:28:00.000-07:002008-08-03T11:28:00.000-07:00Turkey is walking a tight rope. 9/11 accelerated I...Turkey is walking a tight rope. 9/11 accelerated Islam to new heights and Muslim countries will be under hard and focused scrutiny from their brothers.<BR/><BR/>This event marks a dire day for Turkey's citizens. <BR/><BR/>Once their somewhat secular daily life begins to feel the full weight of the Islamic paw on their shoulders - again, it will be too late for them.<BR/><BR/>Just an aside, I'd love to see the truly freedom countries pull out of the EU. <BR/><BR/>Maggie<BR/>Maggie's NotebookMaggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-28040281593624631372008-08-03T00:41:00.000-07:002008-08-03T00:41:00.000-07:00Vote for a better EU.
