Turkey is definitely not a Muslim nation and some may argue that it may not be nation of Muslims either (Allah makes Muslims so I defer). The irony is that they have essentially mortgaged their identity and possibly even their national integrity to join the European Union. They ban the hijab, protest a leader that even remotely displays any adherence to Islam, and imitate their European neighbors despite their own rich heritage. Be careful what you ask for because you might get it, and it will be yours to keep. The funny part is that with all of the whitewashing and attempts at assimilation, they are still too Muslim for the EU.
