Another Country Heard From
This just in from Turkey: Turkish leader warns of terror wave if EU rejects membership:
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister, has told European Union leaders that they will pay a heavy price in continued and escalating violence from Islamic extremists if the EU rejects Turkey as a member and confirms itself as a Christian club.
Claiming to be "a country that has brought together Islam and democracy," the Turkish Prime Minister made references to "terrorism by such groups as al-Qaeda — whose local affiliates hit Turkey last year, bombing the British consulate and three other targets in Istanbul."
Essentially, this Islamic democracy wants into the civilized world (if that's what you want to call the EU) and if it is denied what it wants, it will blow up said civilized world, bit by bit.
"We are Muslim, we are Turkish, we are democratic and our country is secular. Nothing else need be said." -Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan claims be a "conservative democrat" but his background proves he is but another Islamic firebrand. Nothing else need be said.
That is the very clear and present danger and it is all around us today. -Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There are no "islamic extremists" unless you don't give the so-called moderate islamists what they want. Then, they come out of the woodwork to blow you to bits in the next wave of terror. Yup. That is the very clear and present danger and it is all around us.
Prediction: Europe will be Islamic in another generation.

Thanks for stopping by Linda. For a "secular" country, the Turks have that seethe-whine-threaten act down pat. It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday when their accession status comes up for a vote.
