By forcing Turkey to curb its military's role as the guarantor of Turkish secularism, the EU took away the secularists' last line of defense against the rising tide of the AKP. By forcing Turkey to treat its political prisoners humanely and cancel the death penalty, the EU eroded the secularists' moral claim to leadership and weakened their ability to effectively combat both Kurdish and Islamist terror.

Didn't know the Euros has done that, and wouldn't have thought that even they could be that stupid. Attaturk knew what he was doing when he made the military the guarantor of Turkish secularism, and he knew why he did it. And here come some Euro fools decades later to give Turkey a big shove toward the world of Islamic fundamentalism.

We’d be fools to let the Turks into Europe you fool.
