Forever. There are more than two factions, and the headscarf thing is more political than religious. Political islamism is on the rise, and that is secular.

Forever in my opinion. There is no radical Muslim movement in Turkey. The only reason the more Conservative, religious party has won complete control there is because they've created an economic boom previously unknown since modern-day Turkey's founding in the '20s.
