Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has warned that moderate Turks are becoming anti-American and anti-EU.

Mr Gul said many Turks were embittered by the US' support for Israel's actions in Lebanon and by Turkey's problems in joining the EU. Turkish anti-West mood 'rising'

Fine, the whiney turks can't get in the EU despite the best efforts of the dhimmis. Let them eat kebabs.

Well, this shouldn't be a surprise. One of the best sellers in Turkey is Mein Kampf! See this.

And here is a comparison of the Koran and Mein Kampf--a posting I recently published at Democracy Frontline, an Aussie blog which I just joined.

I have not regarded Turkey as a reliable ally since the crude extortion attempt at the begining of the war. Turkey has a genuine indigenous people with a greater claim to nation status then Pseudostinians. Lets see Kurds have their own language and a historical identity that goes back at least one thousand years. Where is Kurdistan??? I would like to form a Brooklynstan next.

Lets see Brooklynites do not have their own language but we do have our own dialect. Stop squeezing my grapefruits has another meaning. We can readily point to famous Brooklyn residents, sports teams and TV shows. One can not find similar acheivement in Pseudostinian culture that seems to date back to the 1960's. You point out that Brooklynites are no different then people in the adjacent areas. Well Pseudostinians have zero difference from Jordanians and 70% of Jordanians call themselves Palestinians.

I guess the message the world is sending genuine indigenous people like Basques, Karen and Kurds is to commit lawless acts and the world will grant you a homeland no matter how dubious your claim to ethnicity is.

Attaturk took them to the edge of civilization, and they had their chance. They blew it. Since Kemal, they have regressed back into the cesspool of Islam. They deserve their own version of the "Midnight Express."
