How dare he try to force Turkey's children into Taliban style madrassah schools, he probably wants them to be indoctrinated with ideas hostile to the beauty and glory of Kemalism. Death to the AKP

The secular turks make up less than 25% of the population. and they have been lording it over everyone else since attaturk..
no longer really, since the 1909 Young Turk coup.
The top leadership of the Young turks were "secularists"
and the 3 leaders in charge were all atheists.
The turks are back in control of their own lives.
may allah guide them back to greatness.
Stop spreading lies about great Turkey, kulaha 25%....where in the heck did you get that low number from? From my own estimates it's at least 50%. The only reason Erodgan won the election is because of a population explosion among the slum dwellers and the peasantry and the generally uneducated and poor folk who vote based on religion and not reason.
The Turkish secularist really are the lions of the world, more so than France, because they have their religious extremists fighting for the right to wear hijab or attend madrassha
.....they'll be fighting for the basics for the next century so they won't ever have time to go for any major islamist agenda
It depends on your interpretation of "Secular"
my defenition of "secular" is kaafir, one who is against Islam and fight it.
The vast majority of turks are not kafiirs.
im basing my number on the population of alevis and decendents of dombe sect.
they make up about 20% of the population.
and the 3% of turks that have claimed to not believe in god in the last annonymous poll.
The rest of the poopulation may look very secular, they may drink, the women may wear western cloths,
but they do not hate and fight islam like you do.
