The attempted coup was from an islamist faction not secular one, I know it is more convenient for the west to think so but reality is not that white and black.

The attempted coup was from an islamist faction not secular one, I know it is more convenient for the west to think so but reality is not that white and black. Secular forces in the army, media and state were purged in by a coalition of erdogan and the gulenist(who attempted the coup) from 2007 to 2013. No one did care back then. What's happening in Turkey has nothing to do with religion, yes it is a huge step back for Turkey but we'll have sharia law sooner here in Brussels than in Turkey.

- mustaflex 9y agoNo one is denying it in Turkey even Erdogan's strongest critics. The fact that Erdogan used this opportunity to strengthen his position doesn't make it less likely. I really don't know what we have to prove it but this kind of dismissive attitude is really exasperating. Maybe they should've left some signatures and selfies.
