Why is our government supporting Islamofascist Turkey for this.

Turkey isn't Islamofascist. It's a pluralist, liberal democracy. Go to Saudi Arabia, then go to Turkey. It's a world of a difference.

My concern would be the border situation. Turkey is far more western than other primarily Islamic nations, but it could be a gateway for extremists to enter Europe in mass.

Their heading down that road, though. If I remember correctly, they voted in (as President or Prime Minister???) a Islamic fundamentalist. Recall also that Turkey, who had been a staunch secular ally of the US for years, refused to let us use their soil for the Iraq invasion, which screwed up the plan. This shows the change of mindset of this country since the new governmnet (Islamic led government.

As I said, it is only a matter of time. Giving any fundamentalist Moslem country a seat at the table is suicide for the west.
