Oh come on guys, argue, but don't insult each other.
As I've said before, in terms of DEMOCRACY, the Turks, while the government is unIslamic, is an example for the Arabs because they have been suffering from dictatorship and human rights violations for decades. They look just a little north or northeast on the map, and wonder, how can a country so close to us that is Muslim be so much more free than what we are?
Now, that said, Turkey isn't the perfect example, but it is an example. There's a record of human right violations in Turkey, and according to statistics, Turkey is getting less free under the current government everyday.
Also, Quasar, I must add, the Turkish soldier in Afghanistan may actually be thought of in a good way if the Turks weren't helping the westerners and NATO forces in Afghanistan to begin with.
But that said, the Turks are doing much to help the Afghan people, being the only Muslim nation aside from the Albanians to be in NATO, and sharing a rich culture with the Afghans, the Turks are actually benefiting the Afghan people with their addition into Afghanistan rather than not.
