From your last post it seems the main issue is the need for strong leadership in order to not create a power vacuum which would result in a divide in fundamentalist and non-fundamentalist islamic groups. Is Erdogan the guy to do this? I am also wondering how secular is he? Also you seem to have an issue with the idea of “puppet country” being created if there is a Kurdistan. If the West is not involved in the shaping of this new country who would be the alternative? There seem to be a ton of Fundamentalist countries that are very powerful in the region that would push for a islamic state and frankly I think a lot of western countries fear that to the point that they will try and influence any change in the region as much as they can.
I have never been to that region of the world and everything that I do know about the area is filtered by western media so I really do no know much about life there. But what I understand is that there is a big fear of islam in the west both by secular and non-secular people. I don’t think the motivation of the west would be to turn Turkey or the proposed Kurdistan “Christian”. Rather I think the motivation would be to keep it from becoming fundamentalist state.
Again I might be talking out of my ass but I would like to hear your insights into this. Really interesting having your perspective on this, thanks for sharing.
- I think it's pretty well known Erdogan is an Islamic hardliner. And Islam seems to like how things were way back when. So I assume he'll go in that direction.robotron3k
