Turkey in Trouble

Turkey is always the example when we talk about secular democracy in the world of Islam. Unfortunately the Islamists have won a couple elections in a row and Turks who don't want to be ruled by the religious have taken to the streets only to be met with tear gas and rubber bullets.

It looks very bad.
