“The Brits are going through another Neville Chamberlain moment where they are allowing themselves to be ‘distracted’ with talk leading nowhere except to the next day. In short, they lack courage to confront the Islamic menace.”
It isn’t just Britain - it’s the whole western world with the possible exception of eastern Europe.
As for Turkey, Ataturk liberal ideas has is quickly being undone by Erdogan’s fundamentalism and desire for a caliphate.
And the threat to the west isn’t just cultural/religious but racial as well. Importing millions of africans with significantly lower average IQ is going to bring to Europe all the racial diversity joys we’re experiencing in the US.
The mention of Atatürk was to inform viewers of history, a history that actually worked until it was undone by contemporary Radical Islam.
There are reasonable Muslims in Turkey who grew up in families that experienced Atatürk’s Kemelism. They cannot stand Erdogan and they currently have no alternative. One of Erdogan’s powerful opponents Fethullah ‘Feta’ Gulen is a narcotics trafficker aligned with Hillary Clinton where he stashes in Malaysian banks 2+ billion USD for her among his 40+ billion.
The larger point is the Turks do have a legacy of secularism and also had Kemelism policy for their religious groups. Kemelism allowed Christians and Jews to live peacefully in Turkey while respecting the Christian monuments and history while at the same time allowing the Muslim population to carry on.
So there is precedent. But Atatürk was not able to do this by persuasion alone. He had to defeat Islam and humiliate them so they would accept defeat as the will of Allah.
The same scenario happened in Iran. At one time Iran had a large advanced middle class that attracted diverse groups. But no more. There are however large groups there that see what happened and are positioning to rid the society of those practices that have made their country a hellhole.
It’s important to understand the detailed history in order to plan for the elimination of Radical Islam. Those who plan for war and peace must understand history, what worked, what didn’t.
