Bravo Dr. Pipes
Reader comment on item: Is Turkey Going Islamist?

Submitted by Bruno (Italy), Jun 10, 2005 at 14:41

Fine points, Dr Pipes: I wish many fellow Europeans had your insight.

Awareness is however rising, if it is true that theTurkey question did influence one out of three no-voters in the EU constitution referendum that was held in Holland.

Let's hope, the last thing I wish to see is Euroep falling because of a trojan horse.
