I can see how the EU bootlickers would want to see another Islamic dictatorship — they think it will help them usher in their own monolithic single party state in a united Europe — oh, and keep their Moslem yoots from burning cars (as if that will work).

And simultaneously, it undermines US influence and foreign policy.

And simultaneously, it gives yet another alibi for denying Turkish membership in the EU, something dangled in front of Turkey since the EEC days, in 1960.

I think that the main reason for the position of the EU officials is that they can only think that a political system has to converge to the one that they have in the EU. They just can’t get it that if there is a Muslim majority there has to be system that guarantees the civil rights and freedom as we understand it in the West. In Turkey this guarantor is the Turkish Armed Forces. I think that there will be a new general election soon.
