do you really believe that all the muslim world outraged over the cartoons did not know it was behaving ridiculous and hysteric?
Even though I agreed to your postings before and I never even remotely touched this topic, which makes me wonder why you ask me this question, I will state "no". I do not believe that.
But I believe that every country is more diverse then just one big block we put all our prejudices upon.
That those in power are not interested in a change of policy is a given. I do not expect any effects taking place anytime soon, Germany required 101 years from the first democratic attempts in the revolution of 1848 to the first working and lasting one in 1949, and it required several unification wars and two world wars to achieve this.
And Turkey has much more potential for a democratic islamic society based on human rights then I think she is given credit for.
But this is not so much about results "now", but investing into the future.
