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.

True, however border controls are already back in place throughout Europe, following the Madrid bombings, so terrorists would still have to sneak across several guarded borders. Not a guarantee, certainly, but a safeguard. In any event, it doesn't seem like terrorists are having too hard a time getting into Europe at the moment, so I'm not sure how much worse things will get.
