Leaving aside religion who shouldn't even count as a factor don't you agree you have more in common with us than let's say,the arabs?
EU is acting stupid,pushing Turkey away right now will only fuel the radicals,if we receive Turkey now,they will integrate ,if we don't they will feel hated and neglected and than we will have a possible 1,5-2 trillion economy,well armed nation despising at our very borders instead of a powerfull new member with whom me might even dislodge the americans in the ME and project power.
Mate Turkey who has it's roots in the central Asia, it's religion from the middle east and it's interacting for centuries with Europe. has a real mixed culture.
I agree that e.u should be our first goal to achieve. But mate acting like the e.u is acting right now is making frustrations.
As far as I know, Erdoğan has made a deadline 2023 for membership to e.u.
If this won't work out, gcc or Russia and China is another option.
Now here is the bright side. USA will never allow that it comes to a point that turkey will join China Russia.
Because turkey joining them will basically mean losing a strategic ally.
Not to mention that this will form a new block.
So basically e.u will eventually accept turkey under pressure of USA.
