Moderate Islam In Turkey

I was surprised that you didn't mention the recent mass demonstration in Turkey protesting Islamist trends in the government there. I read that 300,000 Turkish citizens, presumably Muslims, took part in the demonstration.

There seems to be great support for moderate Islam in Turkey.
