Good luck Turkey, a shining example of true democracy for Pakistan and rest of the Islamic world!

Turkey's enormous economic rise has left India in the dust and even surpassed China on a per-capita basis. Unfortunately, this has sent the alarm bells ringing in Israel and the West. The Ziono-Farangi world order sees the 10 Aug. elections as the last chance to derail Turkey's economic Jaggernaut, Turkey also presents an honest secularism which extricates the state from the affairs of religion, as opposed to our tin-pot "intellectuals" who want the state to oppose Islam.

@Mustafa Erdogan won't be derailed. He is quite hand-and-glove with Israel and the West. Let's not forget Turkey is a NATO member if I am not wrong.

Can Erdogan declare his father is a thing of the past. No modern Turkish leader can emulate great Kamal Ata Turk who was a thorn in Europe's bed of roses. Europeans started feeling complex and hatched intrigues with persons like Erdogan and that was the murder of Ottoman empire. That was history and not thing of the past dear friend of sharif and showbaz

I eat turkey for christmas and cold beer .

@Mustafa The higher they rise the greater is the fall .

@Mustafa Turkey and India's economy are not related nor they are competitors so no dust only you are full of hot air.

I feel proud every time I go to Turkey. Pakistan was almost there but the dictatorship and poorly educated politicians spoiled it.

@Mustafa I fail to see the link between your outburst against India and China while glorifying about Turkey's "enormous economic rise". Though one would wish the Turkish people success in their future years, your reference to India and China in the same breath with Turkey is like comparing apples and oranges. Both India and China are huge economies with a very large domestic market and impressive growth projections in the future; Turkey's economy fared well in recent years, but since nearly two years there has been considerable slowdown, accompanied by political unrest that is shaking investor confidence. This is not going to help Turkey's economy at all. Might I also recommend that you read World Bank and IMF reports, which you have ostensibly missed reading, along with other economic studies, before you making sweeping statements about one country's "enormous economic rise" while trying to belittle other countries, the latter driven, apparently, by your prejudices and bias and ignorance. It is also no surprise that many important world leaders, particularly from the West, are not enthusiastic about visiting Turkey while the line-up of world leaders and (more importantly!) investors to India and China is quite long and impressive. In case you are not aware, there have already been several important US, Europe and Asian leaders visiting Delhi in recent times, interested in trade, investment and business. Sharia, should it replace Turkey's modern constitution which had the handwriting of Ataturk Kemal, will take that country to the stone age, as Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan is trying to do with his ties to fundamentalists. Need I say more?
