RESTORE the proper Allah — what is that supposed to mean?

Did they worship the true God at one time?

I cannot speak for Mr. Buckley but IMO Islamism is a dangerous mix of religion and political (socialist? Marxist?) ideology aligned with both the Nazis and the Soviet Union approach to governing.

Personally I have worked several years with Muslims and lived in Ankara (as a civilian) for about a year. I have a great deal of respect for the Turks.

Turkey is a secular country. I am aware that the current government (elected) is pushing Turkey into a kind of Iran-like Islamic "republic."

There's a huge divide. I have oft posted images of hundreds of thousands of Turks in the streets protesting against Islamism and sharia law. They do no want it. The current government will fail.
