My BIL is Turkish. Not religious. A brilliant engineer who has built a business here making special tooling for the aerospace industry. He loves America, but also loves his home country and has a business there. He travels there about a dozen times a year, I worry about him. He hates Erdogan!
A lot of the Turkish people hate Erdogan. Turkey prospered for almost 100 years under Kemalist secular government. Erdogan is playing with fire and may find himself Ceaucescued before it’s over.
