RE: Then let’s call it Jihad....

I never thought of that, that's great! Thanks!

That kind of Islam was crushed in the modern secular Turkey but it is coming back.. easy to find it documented even right here in FR -- in some important aspects the return of an Ottoman Empire-like Turkey is being immensely aided from right here in the U.S. of A.

Thanks again. I have a lot of respect for the Turks.. even my wife whom I met and married in Madrid made the point that Madrid v. Ankara looks-wise Madrid wins easily.. but it is just the opposite people-wise. I absolutely agree. This was several years before the AK Party and such.

I have to add to my post immediately above, the last opinion poll I saw from Turkey (in other than the AKP's Zaman) 40-percent of Turks absolutely reject what the Islamists (political Islam, sharia law advocates) are doing. The 40% will absolutely refuse to live under Sharia Law.
