I’d like to point out that Turkey is one of the more modern, liberal states in the Muslim world. From Yahoo! News – Army List Targets Minorities, Magicians:
Turkey’s largest newspaper Hurriyet on Wednesday published a document from the army command asking for information on people who supported the European Union and the United States, as well as ‘the socially elite, members of artistic groups and children of wealthy families.’Foreigners living in Turkey and ethnic minorities, including Circassians, Gypsies, Albanians and Bosnians, were on the list. Satanists, freemasons, sympathizers with U.S. white supremacists in the Ku Klux Klan and groups that meditate or congregate on the Internet were also targeted, Hurriyet said.
Even necromancers, or magicians who summon spirits from the dead, were included, the paper said. ‘Writers and thinkers who are working against Turkey’ were also to be investigated.
Oh, and Turkey’s army is one of the more modern elements of Turkish society:
The army has staged three coups since 1960 and sees itself as the ultimate guarantor of Turkey’s secular democracy.
