Except Erdogan and his anti-secular movement was a project designed to serve US foreign policy.

Turkey will only be what its people want it to be. Not some people who are not its citizens think it needs to be.

That's fair and how it should be.

Secular democracies are freer, richer, more stable and more powerful than theocracies (technical exception made for the United Kingdom).

Outsiders aren't saying "you are wrong". They are saying "have you considered your current path will likely leave you less free, more poor and at a higher risk of living in a failed state in one to three generations?"

Look how good of an example you are. Your input is not biased and not above a layer of hatred of Turkey's peoples religion. I find this very constructive and just and above all very true.

I am not supporting it drifting away from secularism. My issue is that whenever someone gets a chance to splash some mud on the country's leader, people are never wasting time and it is always raised with a comment about Erdogans being muslim. Those people getting arrested had nothing to do with religion.

By the way, here is Erdogan prescribing secularism to Egypt.
