It's curious how the Turks (the seculars and the military) applauded themselves on how their secular, nationalist state, the legacy of Ataturk, was stable and enduring, while the Iranians failed to upkeep the secular, nationalist legacy of Reza Shah Pahlavi, and succumbed to Islamism.

Now creepingly Turkey is being eroded by Islamism as well... the population is alarmingly anti-American, and considering how radically pro-US Iran turned hostile, I don't want to imagine how Turkey would transform once falling completely into the hands of Islamism.
