The Turks are far more progressive then you believe and keep dreaming if you are having wet dreams of an Islamist Turkey.

Did you know that Turkey's prime minister Edrogan, was an Islamist firebrand who served a 9 month sentence for inciting religious hatred?

Did you know that Turkey recently tried to criminalize adultery, only backing down because it endangered their admission into the EU?

Edrogan has an Islamist bent. AK whips talk openly about introducing more Islamist legislation once Ankara gets its green light on EU accession. In rural areas, AK-appointed district superintendents have been demoting female teachers who come to school in trousers. Municipal police in Samsun warned couples against kissing in public on the orders of the local AK Party mayor.

In Turkey, some modernist Islamic theologians, who publish the academic journal Islamiyat, in the footsteps of Fazlur Rahman, are calling for a complete renewal of the shariah (Islamic law), including the Koranic rulings on the penal code, women's status and the doctrine of war.

Turkey is about to go full blown Islamist, they are just hiding their nature temporarily until they get admitted into the EU.
