The last caliphate was unified when the Turks defeated both Egypt and Persia. Who will head this new caliphate? Egypt, Persia, or Turkey? May the best men win.

world war 1 ended turkey’s dominance.

but my suspicions about turkey were raised about 2004 when i picked up a copy of the sunday nyt magazine

to find ergodan and his wife on the cover.

his wife was wearing a headscarf, signalling a change in

“secular” turkey.

it used to be that the turkish military guaranteed secular continuity in turkey, but recently some of the generals have been jailed and forcibly retired.

i think turkey is surging. turkey has a modern economy. germany’s support of turkey is interesting.

egypt’s a loser. they have a small economy and the moslem brotherhood will eventually destroy the tourist economy.

persia’s danagerous. iran means aryan a la hitler’s influence.

the competition will be between “moderate” islam of turkey and the wild shia of iran.
