The quesiton is not whether or not Turks are evil

Reader comment on item: Does Turkey Still Belong in NATO?
in response to reader comment: STOP ANTI-TURKISM

I don't see how anyone can generalize as you say, but the question is does Turkey belong in NATO?

As a American, Turkey has not exactly been an open ally. They would not allow us access to their bases in the Iraq War, yet they were increasingly concerned about Kurdish attacks. This makes no sense because we could have largely secured the North had Turkey helped.

Also, when your leaders tell Muslims to have more babies, the motives here are obvious.
