Blogs are sometimes more informative and better researched than media organizions with massive budgets. Here is proof
Is Irak, a country that was liberated by the US a western style democracy? Is Afghanistan, a country that was liberated by the US a western style democracy? The “nation building” if we orientate ourselves on existing “western style democracies” in that area was not very successfull so far. All pre-war estimations about the learning aptitude of Muslums in Iraq and Afghanistan were wrong and what should have turned out as a example of freedom is a death-trap of collective cretinism in the meantime.
We should be happy that the Turks found a way to canalize their weird religion into privacy trough a quite secular system. It is for sure not perfect and far from our standarts, but Turkey provides a quite free platform to live in the ME. Together with Israel it is de facto the only place there where the individual has some rights. Therefore I think Turkey could be the example for other muslim nations. I doubt that we westerners will overcome this false religion. Arabs, Persians and Turks will continue to believe into their weird and funny Mohammad or whatever is his name. Therefore we have to look for secular gouvernment systems we can deal with. It is indeed possible to deal with Turkey but it is de facto impossible to deal with theocratic Irak or Afghanistan in the long turn. Not to speak about Iran, Syria, Pakistan etc. etc. pp.
This is something that should be understood soon.
P.S.
I do not care about headscarfs or other muslum BS as long as it happens in privacy.
I hear they celebrated the win in Greece with a big ole bonfire.
