But it was intevitable. It was inevitable that Ataturk’s movement would fail in the long run. The whole foundation that Ataturk based his idea on was the forced repression of faith. He banned new mosques, he banned the wearing of the Fez by men, he banned the hijab for women. Now you think those are great ideas, but... what would you do a President single-handedly declared that churches would now be suppressed, and that your religion was a backwards thing to be practiced privately and in shame? That’s essentially what Ataturk did to a nation of Muslims. It simply wasn’t going to work forever, even with the Army enforcing it by military dictatorship. Ataturk's idea is the only hope for living in peace with Muslims.
Sharia is in conflict with the US Constitution. It is either them or us. If we have to kill a couple of billion, that is not too many.
You cannot long suppress a religious people. They’ll win eventually. Kemalism is dead. It could only succeed with constant, brutal military oppression. Even when that’s the case, faith tends to win in the long run (even faiths we don’t like).
Brutal military oppression works. It just requires will! Ask HST!
