While it does appear to emphasize a more modern worldview for Islam, it's not entirely secular either. It could be seen as a gradualist Islamist movement within Turkey, and among Turkish diaspora. Again, it's too early to tell.
The sooner everyone realises the role the Turks are playing in the middle east unrest the better.

Quote:Seems the coup is being overturned by the public. aww I hope not, I'm #teamcoup

Apparently, some people within Turkey believe that this coup might have been staged by Erdogan in order to seize full power and turn Turkey into a Presidential regime.
Fascinating stuff.
The Turkish military has a right in the constitution to overthrow the government if they are not being secular enough.Also the government does not control the military so if this coup was real it was actually completely valid.
The majority supports Erdogan and even Erodgans opposition in parliament stood behind Erdogan against this illegitimate coup.
There is nothing democratic about shelling and bombing the parliamentary buildings in Ankara so whoever said they are team coup can eat [BLEEP]. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Quote:The majority supports Erdogan and even Erodgans opposition in parliament stood behind Erdogan against this illegitimate coup. that was me. I'm not a big fan of Erodgan and was hoping the military would restore the secular state of turkey instead of it becoming more islamic based. That country has slowly been converting from a democracy to a dictatorship and the coup failing last night will only push it that way faster.
Go Jags!

Erdogan has removed 2,700 judges after this coup.Approximately one third of Turkeys judges.

This seems to be happening. Good call by "some people." "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"

Erdogan has cut power to the base, closed airspace, and may be holding U.S. nukes hostage. http://www.stripes.com/news/middle-east/...e-1.419447 |
