#1 Muhammed was a political leader. Unlike early Jewish and Christian communities, the social structure wasn't split into a religious and secular structure. Everything was integrated.

The Turks are only tossing out secularism so they can get into Europe, allowing millions of Turks to freely cross borders. When Muslims have the numbers: its final jihad. Turk Seculars believe they have to pave the way to an Islamic society. Its like Lenin's theory that communism is a final stage (the Soviets didn't claim to have reached "developed socialism" until 1961, and they put out a blueprint to the future).

#2 The Kemalist secular state preceded the European Community by decades. Modern Islamism is itself partially a reaction *against* the Kemalist liquidation of the last caliphate.

#3 Just as the Muslim Brotherhood arose as a reaction against Nassar's socialist government in Egypt.
