Turkey has followed it's threat to block the naming of a new general secretary, on the main reason of not a Kurdish radio station allowed to broadcast from Denmark, but about the Danish prime ministre's defence of freedom of speech and his non-withdrawing stand during the Muhammad-cartoon rows when he refused to censor medias in compliance with Islamic demands. That way Turkey sends a clear signal that it wants free speech and free media being forbidden if they do not bow to Islamic demands, and stalls the NATO summit and prevents the candiate that all other 27 NATO members want. Turkey also lists as a foul excuse it'S concern about what other islamic nations may think abou NATO - as if non-NATO-members would have any word in the issue, or NATO has any obligation to comply with Islamic demands.

Just imagine the power given to Turkey to block all Europe if europe does not comply with the Turkish fundamentalist government's intention to push Islam in europe, if Turkey would be allowed into the EU. Instead of considering Turkey'S EU membership, we should start thinking about how to get this foreign, Europe-hostile power out of NATO as well. We have to finally learn it: Islam wants very different things than what NATO, the EU, and Western constitutions and cultural values want, and before sharing values with europe and being part of european culture, Turkey in the main is this: idslamic, and the AKP being a deeply fundamentalist party. Turkish society and adminstrative and government offices have suffered a seriouzs Isdlamisation since the AKP took over. The rural areas, I know by experience, always have been arch-Islamic and extremely conservative anyway. This is where the vast majority of Turkish population lives. Only tourists never leaving their tourist ressorts judge the country by it's Westenised hotel culture and metropoles. But you do not learn Mexico by drinking Tequila in a hotel lobby.

There is no doubt, however, that the western Islam-friendly masochists and the philantrophic friends of peaceful multicultural mankind will do their best to hammer home the message and burn it into our brains again that Turkey's objection is legitimate and that religion and Islam - as always - have nothing, really nothing to do with it. In the end, limiting free speech and free media in the name of free, unlimited Islam, is no limitation at all, but a cultural gain for all, isn't it.

Poor German hosts of the summit. Merkel without doubt will do her best to reinterpret the desaster as a success. But instead of doing that, the Turkish policy should be let shine in the mdia unhindered - so that finally, finally even the last sleeping drunk idiot in the most forsaken back corner of the european wilderness gets the message that islam and European culture are two very different and very antagonistic things, and that it is of utmost priority not to allow neither Turkey nor any other non-European, islamic country into the EU. It's bad enough that the gang-territories of Albania already have allowed into NATO recently.
