Amazing! Looks like Ezekiel's prophecy is lining up for fulfillment (Ezek. 38-39).

Of COURSE Turkey's military lost out to its politicians: Turkey is democratic nation where the rule of law prevails. Things are as they should be.

Didn't the EU force Turkey to stop dealing harshly with Islamist militants a few years ago? Western civilization seems to have a death wish, at least most of the leading bureaucrats and politicians seem to.

This is a deeply, deeply disappointing development. It represents not only the end of a very good friendship but, more importantly, the end of the brightest example of liberal democracy in the Islamic world. Truly disturbing.

Encouraging the Turks in their own holocaust denial in order to buy their allegiance was foolish at best. Now, finally, Israel understands that Turkey never was an ally.

Turkey : Why is the AKP doing all this now?
The AKP is doing and saying what it believes: the party, rooted in Turkey’s own Muslim Brotherhood movement, has always hated Israel, and now that the AKP is comfortably in charge in Turkey, it will oppose Israel with any means available as well as promote other aspects of the Turkish Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda.

I was reading slate the other day and came across this little gem...

http://www.slate.com/id/2233122?nav=wp

"Why Islamic creationism has exploded in Turkey is a complicated story that may have as much to do with politics as religion. Unlike most Muslim countries, which simply ignore the science of life's origins, Turkey's high schools have taught evolution for decades—the legacy of Ataturk's campaign to secularize Turkey's public culture. Creationism has become a way for political Islamists to attack the secular elite that governed Turkey until the recent rise of the AKP. Oktar's own agenda isn't confined to evolution. He's calling for a "Turkish-Islamic Union," a Turkish super-state that would stretch from Kazakhstan to Indonesia and western Africa—a revamped Ottoman Empire for today's Muslims."

No caliphate to see here people, move along.
