" There is no way radical Islam will dominate Turkey unless it can defeat the Army."

This sentence should read:

"Radical islam will dominate Turkey as soon as it infiltrates the officer corps of the Army."

I give it five years.

RE: "Radical islam will dominate Turkey as soon as it infiltrates the officer corps of the Army."

I thought of that but I have no way to judge. I know that -- to the best of my knowledge -- there is strict rules about the military and Islam. Not allowed to mix. Period.

If that is not true I'd really appreciate any sources. As much as I liked and admired the Turks years ago I know that things change -- boy! things really did a 180 when Iran went radical.

But! Iran was not a constitutional democratic Republic and did not have a much admired (worshiped?) founder, Ataturk.
