If Erdogan gets his way, Hagia Sophia will reopen as a mosque, the Kemal Ataturk mausoleum will be closed to the public, and the next “peace flotilla” launched at Israel will have a Turkish Navy escort.
Erdogan has already said he favors “Shariah Lite” for Turkey. Nothing extreme, mind you.
Agreed. It’s been a really unfortunate turn around for Turkey.
Mark bSteyn can make his point better than I can summarize it...about why Turkey is going more Islamo-fundie these days
Muslim Brotherhood was elected and in power in Egypt.
That was made possible by Obummer helping with removal of Mubarak.
If it was not for the courageous military leaders in Egypt, the Muslim extremists would still be in power.
The whole chaos started with Carter helping removal of Shah in Iran and GWB-43 invading Iraq.
So now we have spent Trillions in Iraq and lost hundreds of military personnel. Now more spending and bloodshed is coming with ISIS.
That is the point.
Cyprus is not a member of NATO. The pretext for the invasion in 1974 was that the Greek government (then a dictatorship) was about to annex Cyprus.
Well, if they're in boats, somebody with fighter jets.
