Media members are ‘in a fight’ with the EU
A certain prominent Turkish columnist who has — thank goodness — recently emerged from his fixation with “Christian Europe,” warned one of the “spokespersons” from the EU, saying, “Don’t listen to the tales that the Justice and Development Party [AK Party] spin, their real desire is for Shariah!”
Don’t think I am making this up; I am simply relating it to you as it appeared in this columnist’s writing: “Yes, you are really in error here. Had there not been concrete evidence that emerged about the AK Party’s desire for Shariah, the court case against them would never have been opened.” Well, this kind of reasoning deserves more than just a simple gold medal. This columnist claims that it was after the emergence of this concrete evidence bringing to light the AK Party’s desire for Shariah that the court case was opened. Well, since it appears that it has already been decided that the evidence was “concrete,” I guess we can already predict that the court decision will come down on the side of party closure.
