Looks like Islamists vs. secularists tussle has come to a head. It is kind of extreme that Turkey’s chief prosecutor would ask its highest court Friday to disband the ruling party for attacking the country’s secular traditions.
Are the secularists feeling so threatened just because Islamists want to lift the hijab ban? Or they are trying to dam the Islamist tide?
Let’s see what the repercussions for the actions of Chief Prosecutor could be! He is asking to ban for 5 years every major Islamist including the president Gul, PM Erdogan etc. 71 in total leaders.
A simpler outcome could be that the court throws out the case. But if it doesn’t what happens then?
Will these powerful men of the ruling party simply pack up their bags and go home? Or we’ll see a start of Muslim insurgency in the country? In that case what will be done to the Turkey’s admission to EU, or what kind of havoc will it bring to the country’s economy?
I hope the two sides back down in the interest of Turkish people. We know from Pakistani experience, that too much political heat is not good, not for any country. And if this heat is allowed to be fanned by Islamists, it may very well bake the Turkey. And who will feast on it? Only the anarchists and the Islamic militants!
