This is a big, big story. What will matter is this. Will the Islamist accept the voters choice?

[Norm Lenhart]

Will the sun make girl scout cookies for cryofenic fishing?

[elhombrelibre]

You’re a riot. Very, very amusing.

[Norm Lenhart]

I was thinking of things more likely than an islamist accepting the will of a kafir/infidel and that sprang to mind. My other choice was ‘Lesser evil saving America from Democrats’ but I realized that less likely so I went with the fishing thing.

LOL!

Nearly 1400 years versus an upstart republic with or without a 2nd amendment. Jihad rolls…watch for bombings in 4, 3, 2, 1…

Territory lost by the vote will be re-taken by the sword. Witness history. Witness current events.

[Norm Lenhart]

Exactly.

[Louis Foxwell]

And so it shall be here, in the last enclave of freedom.

[PGalt]

Exactly. And so it shall be...

[Bobalu]

What I find shocking is that the Erdogan ‘government’ allowed an honest enough vote that they could actually lose!

I no longer think that could happen here in the land of the free... I have more faith in a free election in Turkey than in America. :-(

Will the Islamist accept the voters choice?

Didn't he just move into a new $615m palace in order to be free of roaches?

If he doesn't accept the voters' choice, then hopefully, they'll go the el-Sisi route.

This is good news. It’s also not through turks first rodeo.

He's put lots of Turkish officers in jail in recent years. I recommend this article about how bad it's been for them.

Herr Erdogan needs to be roomin’ with Mohamed Morsi.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Somewhere Mustapha Kemal is smiling

[elhombrelibre]

Yes, that's true. And isn't it great that it's taking an oppressed minority to lead them back towards a more secular and pluralistic nation where no one religion is forced on others.

Islamists lost the Turkish parliament but retained the White House (and will continue to do so if Hillary wins).

[AZLiberty]

Gobble, gooble. This is great Turkey news.

[elcid1970]

Erdogan will now lead a chanting mob into Hagia Sophia and proclaim it to be once again a mosque. He’s not done.

[ExCTCitizen]

I’m glad...very glad that the Kurds got 80 seats.
