#1 Actions like this are why Turkey will never be part of the EU. The only reason that Turkey is a cut above the third world fever swamp that is the Islamic world is because Kemal Attaturk had the vision to force a secular regime in which a meritocracy could flourish. This bill is but one more step down the slippery slope that will lead Turkish society into a dark age of 7th century islamofascism. Madrassa graduates don't know how to do anything except try and force other people to conform to their memorized strictures.

Too bad, Turkey could have been a contender.

#4 The move by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoganâs government is likely to further anger the military,

oh pleeease...how long are we going to live in this past? This idea that the military is somehow going to step in and save Turkey from itself is so YESTERDAY. Just like the terrorists keep thinking of us as America pre-911, we need to get over thinking of Turkey as secular and of having a military that will save the day.
