Critics say efforts by the AK Party to remove a ban on Islamic-style headscarves, to expand religious Islamic teachings, appoint religiously minded members to top positions in Turkey's bureaucracy point to the contrary. ********************

"We are all Hizbollah!" ?????

Turkey has a secularist ban on headscarves?

Separation of State and religion?

What's the Muslim Brotherhood's position?

What do the leftist allies of political Islam do when asked to choose between these two sides in the Turkish election?
