update: Over 600,000 people demonstrated AGAINST having an observant muslim for their next president. Does this give the rest of you a clue? If a nation full of muslims is so violently against being ruled by a Fundamentalist muslim, then you KNOW Islam is bad news. Who would know this better than them?

Read on…

Turkeys new PM Erdogan is pro-Islamist and supports another Islamist, Mohammed Gul, for President. While 99% of the Turkish population are muslims, they’re pro-Western muslims and don’t want to fall under a Fundamentalist Islamic yoke the way they see Iran has. Turkey has had a strongly secular government since it was created by Ataturk in 1923.

“Turning part of Istanbul into a sea of red with Turkish flags yesterday, hundreds of thousands of secular Turks protested the possible election of a pro-Islamic president.” (Gul).

The outgoing president and the army have strongly protested the possible election of Gul, who is the only candidate for the office, and the army has threatened to intervene. This wouldn’t be a first as the army ousted an elected Islamic government a decade ago and mounted three coups in decades before that. The Turkish army considers itself to be the lawful protector of Turkish secularism.

If Turkey were taken over by Islamists, this would have as much disrupting effect on the Middle East as Iran getting the A-Bomb. A civil war would erupt between the Turkish army and the Islamists. If Turkey has gained entrance into the EU before this, it will have a damaging effect on European international relations and could possibly cause enough disruption to bring on an economic recession. Certainly Iran would interfere on the side of the Islamists which might bring some of the EU states in on the side of the Turkish army.

If Turkey fails to gain EU membership before this possible internal conflict erupts, Russia (Putin) will no doubt find a way to profit from it that upsets the global status quo even more, and the internal leadership of the EU may well get some shaking up as there’s been a lot of argument over Turkeys membership for a long time now. This demonstration of Turkeys instability, due entirely to the influence of Islam, may also result in some needed changes to EU immigration policies. Certainly Great Britain is fed up with the muslims in their midst.

This is why the uproar over the possible, and actually very likely, election of Mohammed Gul to the Turkish presidency. Nothing about it is going to be smooth, it’s going to affect all of Europe, and the outcome can only be war.
