How can Turkey be regarded as an Islamic State?

really sad incidence …no words to express my feelings

my prediction..despite a toothless civilian government and army leadership, I have a feeling that this incidence would unleash certain consequential geo-strategic and local political waves that would be beyond the control of all stakeholders (America, Pakistan army, Afghan govt ec) and in many ways will go a long way in reshaping this whole region…obviously nothing will happen overnight but if we try mapping future terrain, it is obvious that pak army will have no choice but to block NATO supplies for weeks (if not for a whole month) thus alienating Americans to its limits with a high probability that USA may take some other harsh military and financial steps…

even if US and Pak somehow cover up the mess in next few weeks and try to act buddy buddy, deep scars of this incidence will remain alive within the psyche of pak army (especially among jawans) and ISI…

PTI and Imran khan will gain immense benefit from this incidence as the single biggest worrying factor for a common Pakistani is not roti, bajli aur pani but how to restore pak’s ego, waqar, identity and independence…you may think that this is just another incidence but it will have a deep scar on pakistanis’ already battered psyche …the feelings that “we are sitting naked infront rest of the world to get raped”’ and that “our whole country has literally become an international gutter where anyone can come and puke” have become extremely strong …and both zardari and nawaz sharif are viewed as “na-mard”, toothless and US chmachays by majority of Pakistanis…only Imran has left with any credibility and thus he will cash on it big time (nothing wrong with it if he legitimately believes in what he says and not saying all politically-correct stuff to emotionalize Pakistanis)…remember this cycle started with raymond davis, matured with OBL incidence and now peaked yesterday and Imran’s popularity has also increased exponentially in last 12 months …so there is a strong correlation…and if PTI wins next elections and deliver, then this incidence will act as a main catalyst…

geo-politically, hatred against America all the way from Turkey to Iran to Afghanistan to Pakistan would become so deep and strong that it may become a NO-Go zone for americans…there is a reason why turkish forieghn minister was the first one to callyesterday and express condolence.

Lets hope that pakistan govt/army show some courage ands stand up for few weeks…

This!
