Could it be that it's not Islam they care about - it's defiance of Imperial America?

The Turkish Muslims are not funding terrorism.
The Iranian Mullahs are funding terrorism in many parts of the world.
The Iranina Mullahs are buying the technology to enrich Uranium to weapons grade. Once they succeed the will almost certainly transfer some of that weapons grade Uranium to terrorists.
Turkey does not pose a terrorist threat, Iran does.

It's because Turkey has been a secular state since it was first established in the wake of the Ottoman Empire after World War One. The results of this election don't change that. Even though a majority of Turks are Muslims, there is no desire for a government modeled on the one in Tehran or being dreamed up by the Salafist Jihadists.

yeah youre pretty much right. islam in turkey is practiced like christianity in the united states- half-assed. the islamics in turkey arent anti western terrorists, they dont have nearly the zeal and violent agenda as many of their arab counterparts deeper in the middle east. so yes, youre totally correct, the "islamophobic right" doesnt give a crap. i dont see what the point is that youre trying to prove though, other than that maybe the right isnt as "islamaphobic" as you are claiming they are...

duhhhhhh. so bascially now youre saying that they ARENT bigots as you claim, they are simply looking out for their country which is under attack by radical groups. kinda makes sense to me. go move to canada.
and just so you know, many of the muslims in places like iran do in fact want to kill americans, even those who sympathize with them like you...

I listened to the BBC Sunday. It seemed only the moderates and progressives of Turkey were freaked out. The balance of power hasn't changed that much.
Just curious...have you ever wonder why so few long haired freaky people live in Turkey and so many live in imperial America?

Well, Turkey is mainly Muslim. The government is secular rather than religious as in Iran. I do know not all Muslims are not Islamic, just a majority.

Islam is worse than christianity.
at least christians dont cut off women's clits or send our kids to die, then celebrate that death
