Turkey and the idiocy of the old Europe

Carlo Panella - The election of Abdullah Gul as President of Turkey sets the seal to the full and complete defeat of Kemalism with extraordinary consequences not only policy framework for the Mediterranean, but also for doctrinal reflection on Islam in modernity. To impose secularism, to "export democracy in Europe", heavily influenced by Masonic thought and Mazzini (the Young Turks copied the name from Young Italy). Kemal Ataturk abolished the caliphate and the sultanate, dissolved all the fraternities the immense religious and confiscated goods, abolished the Shari'a penal code replaced with Rocco and the administration of Neuchâtel and also abolished the Arabic script (written from right to left) and imposed the Latin alphabet, with a dramatic break that prevented the Turkish reading old texts in writing (in fact, the total censorship on Islamic culture). Atatürk finally put the national army to guard the secular nature, the overriding power in all institutions (nine years ago was deprived of a parliamentary mandate for the only reason to wear the hijab in the classroom). A reform that met with universal approval for 80 years, so much so that many more scholars (Bernard Lewis among them) see this as the only one able to combine with its violence-reforming-Islam and modernity.

past 83 years, Kemalism, is now dead. Because the Democratic "old mole Muslim" has crumbled all the constraints that kept Islam at the margins of power el'Akp, a modern and moderate party, but entirely Muslim, has been chosen by the people as turkish keeper of all the political power Government and President of the Republic. The failure of the Kemalist secular state model, although legitimated by the extraordinary military victory against the invasion of Atatürk greek-English 1920-22 (which also took part in Italy) is now evidence proven that no model, no political doctrine of secular-Western brand still managed to prevail in Islamic societies. Time for Reflection capital not only for Iraq but also Iran, where the Turkish experience shows that only a proposal for democratic politics in the Muslim world will be able to accumulate enough popular support to overthrow the dictatorship.

But the failure of Kemalism, playing mostly as a warning, unheeded, to the poor political culture of Europe. It 'was in fact the EU to do the immense favor of Erdogan to "impose" the elimination of the overarching power of the military government, the faithful guardians of the secular and democratic. It has been the EU to demand the idiot mechanical application of the "Copenhagen criteria" (designed to lead the former communist countries to democracy, not Muslim ones) that have allowed antilaicista Erdogan to take over, thanks to the votes of 46, 5% of the electorate, everything, absolutely all the power. Now, the turkish army, the only one in the world to have made three fully democratic coup, he has no political power and can no longer guard the secular. The EU, can only bring the candles to the Madonna of the AKP, Erdogan and Gul also thanks to the military coup of 1997 - is a fully democratic party. But the next election could be won by Muslim Brotherhood, or fundamentalists. As in Algeria. And you know how it ended.
