The headscarves are a public manifestation of Islamofascism. Turkey’s religious repression happens in private. Coverts from Islam are jailed (and in some cases brutally murdered, as those bible publishing company employees earlier this year); three Catholic prists have been murdered (one while he was knelt in prayer) because many Turks believe that Christian charity is given for the purpose of buying conversions; Armenian and Greek Christians are not allowed to build, own and maintain churches (and in many areas of Turkey Armenians must hide their identities by worshipping a t mosques). This is your idea of a democracy?
It might be a tragedy, but simply have a look to America's number one ally in the area: Saudi Arabia
I hope you understand that the situation in a relatively free muslim nation like Turkey can not be compared with other countries in that region. BTW - the US failed completely to establish secualar gouvernments in the ME-countries they invaded. Just try to open a church in Kabul. ;)
Therefore it is complete affectation to ignore the way of Turkey as a example for other muslim nations in that region.
P.S. The murderers of the priests have been punished and are jailed.
