#1 So a handful of Turks stand up to the Islamists while the rest vote them into office.

What was that about a "small handful of extremists"?

#2 Turkey is no different than Pakland or Algeria or Indonesia - they all love to behead the infidel. The Saudis are doing today what they successfully did in numerous other countries: They funnel billions of petrodollars evry year into Turkey under the guise of "cheap capital for development" - the price that Turkey and the Turks will pay in 10 or 15 years is that they will become no different than Iran or Pakiland or the rest of the bloodthirsty Islamo-fashist world, thanks to AKP and their Saudi/Wahabi cronies & money.

#3 In mitigation, I suggest that Turkish secularists are not like their squishy liberal counterparts in the West. That being said, at a particular point, they will rise up and smite the Islamists, a reoccuring motif in Turkey.
