I wonder how close the last vote was? Didn’t know about Turkey’s involvement in Korea and soviet invasion plans. The thing is that if even only 20 percent of muslims support sharia and isis, that’s 200 million people or more. Boy that’s a lot.

Not sure about the last election but the AK Party did win.

Economically Turkey was doing well at the time. Since then things have changed and Erdogan has faced charges of being corrupt however he has more power than ever;

but maybe most important there was a rift between the AK Party and Turkish Islamist leader, M. Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the U.S., has become a U.S. citizen I believe. Gulen has been very active in Turkey over the past couple of decades.

Here's article from a few years back about the numbers of Turks who totally reject Islamism and sharia.

I recall it was high as 38% when the poll was taken a few years ago.
