It is clear what Erdogan the Islamist, thinks. And his actions follow all of the jihadist group's paths.
If Erdogan wins the Referendum and gains his expanded "super powers', what are the consequences for Turkey?

Who is the Terrorist?
The Kurdish people had more local autonomy under the Ottoman Empire, but the Turks, needing for their own nationalist aims in a fallen empire, found it cause to declare “Turkey” for the Turks and all others within as subject “minorities” to the Turkish majority. It has worked much as Islam and declarations for Islamism has worked in Pakistan, as the identity call and cause for separation from the rest of what had been greater India. And in Pakistan, as in Turkey, “minorities” have seen reductions in local power and autonomy as the rulers tried to bend the country to the new, state declared identity.
But in the case of the Kurds, they were in the Anatolia and Mesopotamia region since ancient Greek and Roman times, long BEFORE the arrival of the Turks from central Asia.
