The AKP Government's Attempt to Move Turkey From Secularism to Islamism (Part I)
From MEMRI. It's good to see folks in that part of the world openly stand up to Islamists. It isn't so good to realize that these folks represent a small urban elite and not the conservative farmers and bazaaris that voted the AKP in. I see Askin's arrest as a real test case for secularism in the Muslim world. My gut tells me that he will go to jail and that the Islamists will win, but I still hope to be suprised.
