Sure. It's horrible.
I've been out-of-country for a while, but my (very anti-islamist) family is basically saying "best hope is ending up like Iran, worst hope is Syria". There are continuing widespread, scary daily rallies of Islamist-supporters whipping up a frenzy, and secularists are completely cowed with no way forward. The secularist state is being completely dismantled.
- mathattack 10y agoApproximately 10 years ago a colleague of mine said, "Visit Turkey now, it's headed towards Iran. All the business people are visiting Mosques to get blessings on their deals." It seemed alarmist, and for much of the past 10 years I laughed at how wrong he was. Whoops!
