      To Joshua Pundit, the article by Daniel Pipes got me wondering :

      What is your opinion re Turkey's application for membership of the European Community?

      I have been following Turkey's manoeuvring for more than 4 decades. Turkey 1st sought membership of a predecessor of the EU called the Common Market, or the European Economic Community, (EEC), in the early 60s.

      The United Kingdom &, tacitly, the United States had always supported Turkey's bid ; whereas, France, including all the French presidents save 1 former president (I can't recall which 1 at the moment) had always opposed the bid. I believe that Germany & Austria are also consistently on the anti-bid side. President Sarkozy continues the French opposition.

      Critics had long accused France of simply not wishing for the admission of a new state that would automatically constitute the 2d largest voting block in the European Parliament of what is, after all, a de-facto state (a common European President, a common European Parliament, a common European currency : that sounds like a country, albeit, a loose, confederative 1, to me).

      The French insist that it is a cultural matter, & a number of things which have occurred in the last decade lead credence to their position : 1) the election of a Mohammetan party, circa 2002 ; 2) the efforts by that government to force universities to accept the misogynistic religious head scarfs (an European court maintained the ban, fortunately) ; 3) the re-election of that government by the Turkish people, & 4) all the detente & rapprochement with Syria & Iran mentioned in the article.

      Perhaps the French were right all along. Lately, I've been seeing everything from the French perspective.

      PS, I don't want to sound like a fanatic in my opposition to the head-scarfs, but we in the democratic West must draw the line somewhere.

    4. I think the EU is insane if it takes an Islamist country like Turkey in, especially giventhe problems Europe has withits Muslims.

      Among other things,Turkey would be privy to EU defenses and there would be an open border...which in this climate,means an openborder for anyone from Syria or Iran as well.

      To Joshua Pundit,

      I agree : that, alas, is my position. The de-facto state of Euroland should not try to swallow a Turkey. ;)
