You can see it happened in the secular Republic of Turkey. Yes Turkey almost 100 percent Muslim but millions have demonstrated against the ruling party's Islamist practices. They do not want sharia law.
Journalists, retired and active military, professors, anyone who opposes the AK Party and the Islamists are arrested and jailed accused of all kinds of crimes against the state.
Some say the whole Islamist infiltration in Turkey was encouraged by the Gulen Movement headquartered here in the States (Pennsylvania).
It is happening here, whoever is doing it. Only one day they are going to yank a little too hard on the junk yard dog's chain. Then, "Pow! To the moon, Mohammed"
There are many aspects to things Middle Eastern that affect modern Turkey such as who is going to dominate.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
