First, we would have to define about how many people we talk about that classify to your quote.Munin said:I m not even sure a very religious turk can really be a "Turk" (meaning that he identifies with the state that attaturk created).
In my view, there is not rejection by even the most hardcore Islamist, but disagreement.
The rift here is clearly on the university head-scarf issue. It is a never ending debate.
But Turks don't bomb each other over this issue. It is heated debate but civil.
The core understandment of the headscarf-ban has shifted into being a question of liberty.
In the end, everyone is happy to be born as Turkish citizen and not be born in Falluja, Torabora mountains.
Turkish people, including the small part of hardcore Islamists have hope into the future.
In foreign policy there is common sense under Turks.
All support integration of the Muslim periphery under Turkish guidance and a common economic market with them.
And happy not to be born as kurds I assume?
Are you sure that all support the integration of the Muslim periphery under Turkish guidance?
