DO NOT lump the Turks in with the Crazies. Turkey has had it’s own Muslim problems with the Crazies (as they call them) for years.
Turks proved themselves in Korea and elsewhere. If you want to see a history of a man who brought peace, stability and democracy to a portion of the ME, read the history of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk at Wiki.

Turkey is now governed by the Islamist AKP. This is not the Turkey of Attaturk, who killed the last Caliphate, but of the Muslim Brotherhood allied Gullen movement, which seeks to restore it.

T.E. Lawrence threw the Turks out for a reason.
