Still not convinced about how "progressive" Turkey's prime minister Erdogan is?
Did you know that as mayor of Istanbul, he tried to outlaw alcohol in many localities? That he used to refuse to shake the hands of women?
Did you know that the religious minded party that has risen to power in Turkey today, was created out of the remains of two banned Islamist groups?
Ban alcohol in many localities? Have you ever visited TEXAS?!? Alcohol is banned in MANY localities. :)
