I think sarcasm tags would have been more appropriate around the description of ‘Islamofascist Turks’ and ‘Christian Kurdish brothers’. Turkey is an avowedly secular country and an ally, and the Kurds are by and large practicing muslims who are not above a little honour killing every now and again to put women back in their place...
‘Turkey is an avowedly secular country’ — you forgot the part about that they recently elected a very conservative, pro-sharia law person, they are killing/ bombing/ torturing and killing/ etc. Christians in Istanbul, the women are very heavily ‘bagged’ in that country, etc. I have a Turkish friend,Christian, recent immigrant here. “You do NOT want to be in an Islamic country,” she said.
