The real cause, as I read it here, is the relentless march of islamism.

Ataturk has been revered as the man who saved Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. If his memory and philosophy can't stop radical Islam I don't know what can. I don't think the game is over in Turkey, however. Very powerful interests want to keep Turkey oriented to the West and out of the sinkhole of the Middle East.

I don't, either.

Good. That is better than wishful thinking on my part:-)

Kemal the pedophile Ataturk was responsible for the first genocide of NON Muslims the 20th century.

The only types who revere the pedophile are those weirdos who revere Hitler and Stalin.
