In reply to Dave.

One cannot generalize Islam just as one cannot generalize Christianity by the case of that US pastor who wanted to burn the Koran, or that US preacher who called for the assassination of a democratically elected head of state (Chavez).

When the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, the US responded by supporting Islamic extremists, who shortly after attaining “victory” turned against their (infidel) supporters.

That extremist version of Islam is Wahhabism, is exported from Saudi Arabia to all corners of the world. But without the support of the US it could never have become so powerful and destructive.

In many Islamic countries, the popular and nonviolent version of Islam is (related to) Sufism.
But for Wahhabi extremists, Sufis are as much infidels as atheists and believers of other religions are.

As the US supports the exporter of Wahhabism via the mechanism of the petro-dollar, war spreads and govts have to organize crackdowns on minority groups to preemptively keep order.

With Wahhabi infiltrators active all over the Middle East and Pakistan, Turkey is affected as well so the govt has to make a choice: either defend the present nonviolent version of Islam or risk popularity of extremists.

And in case it was forgotten, it was the puppet (shah) installed by the US in Iran after the CIA toppled a democratically elected head of state, who caused the present regime of mullahs.

So the only cancer is the US plutocracy that profits from war and its spoil, that also spreads financial cancers (economic bubbles), GMO products causing diseases and herbicides that result in so called superweeds.

The best example of that, glyphosate-resistant coca plants – a guarantee to keep the war on drugs going forever, with high profits that can be used in illegal operations like toppling democratically elected heads of state.

What do we all expect, the whole area is muslim, Turkey is progressively leaning away from secularism in government so we can expect this country to be more and more supportive of Iran and other terrorist Islamic countries, they should not be allowed into NATO or the EU, the cancer of Islam is spreading uncontested in Europe.

I agree with Casey, it’s time rethink some serious strategy when it comes to Turkey. They have continued to be a thorn, and I see the topple of Turkey soon enough. Either play by the NATO rules or get toppled!

It’s time we rethink Turkey’s membership in NATO. Turkey’s political leadership is leading this onetime ally into the arms of radical Islamic terrorist states.

US is down right now – if it changes its policies there is a chance it will bounce back – so it is good for Turkey to have fair relations with US.
Europe except Germany – no country counts – UK is has been, it had no respect in the world. people around the world think it is a gutter, garbage or trash country which is still trying to live today by focusing what it was 100 years ago. Other European countries are too small to make a difference for Turkey or any other nation.
Emerging Giants China, Brazil, India, Mexico are the one’s a country should be closely allied with which Turkey is. So Turkey is fine – and can say No to US.
It dosen’t even have to listen to UK or any other european nation except maybe Germany.

All the more reason to reject Turkey’s entry into the EU.

They will not be missed.

The US is technically bankrupt already so the better alternative for Turkey would be to switch trade to China, Iran and Russia. The EU, satellite of the US, only has to lose as regarding resources Iran has a lot to offer whereas the US can only peddle toxic GM stuff, financial trash and downgrade the debt of countries like Greece and Ireland to hide its own, unrecoverable economic depression.

It is not really surprising to see that NATO boycotts and wars are a debacle and the US only managed to succeed with the invasion of Grenada.

Apart from that, boycotts rarely work, the best example is how Israel helped the Apartheid regime in South Africa to obtain nuclear arms thanks a so called “boycott” – it only increased the profit for the little rogue state.
