Protesting against Islamic takeover
Michelle Malkin

Thousands and thousands take to the streets in Turkey to demonstrate against rising Islamic influence over the government:

About 12,000 Turkish secularists marched in the capital on Saturday to protest against what they see as a rising Islamist influence under Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's government, Anatolian news agency said. ...

Meanwhile, in Germany, a priest makes a dramatic statement, via the Times of London:

A retired priest committed suicide by setting himself on fire in a German monastery in protest at the spread of Islam and the Protestant Church’s inability to contain it.

Roland Weisselberg, 73, poured a can of petrol over his head and set light to himself in the grounds of the Augustine monastery in the eastern city of Erfurt, where Martin Luther spent six years as a monk at the beginning of the 16th century. ...

That is a pretty poor showing for a city of almost 5 million.

Looks like (to me) support for the Islamic movement is growing in Turkey, while the secularists support is not doing so good.

I wonder if the officer corp within the Turkish Military is still predominantly secular or if the Islamic influence has infected them also.

I have a feeling we will find out way too soon.
