text: You would be arrested for saying as much in Turkey today and that highlights Turkey's regression towards an authoritarian regime. Islamism or the belief that all aspects of society should be governed by Islamic law (political Islam) is a scourge with an unquenchable thirst for power and hostility (often violent) to secularism and individual freedoms. It's rather simple, Erdogan is an unapologetic Islamist and he is "governing" accordingly. No free press, no free expression, and no freedom. And now Erdogan wants "expanded" powers? What could possibly go wrong... but we shouldn't talk about Turkey's regression under an aspiring demagogue, especially because he's an Islamist and that's not fair because it's 2017. Hopefully M-103 will solve this issue with some appropriate guides to "civil" and "rational" discourse.
