Mr Gul is a devout Muslim, but he actually shaves off his beard. What is a devout Muslim? Why is Turkey secular? To appease the non-Muslims? But you secular Turks actually kicked out the orthodox christians from your area because they were affiliated with the Greek orthodox church and are happy with a tiny number of them somewhere in the north or south.
:s1: subHanAllah, there are many Turkish families in my area and alHaduLilAllah they are observant of shari'ah, except a young woman I met working as a bank teller So what do we expect now? A coup by the military government as in Algeria? (even though that was against salafis/ikhwani/other wahabi offshoots who had formed a government) military intervention If it happens in Turkey, then that would clarifiy everything that it is actually the west who never wants to see a "Muslim" government. It will be so obvious. May be apply some other scheme for the case of Turkey now. The vast earthquake did shake western Turkey after all. It did not kill 40,000 Turks as the secular government says. It actually killed 300,000+ Turks, who were all living in building flats made by the seculars.
