  1. Yep Arun, Kemalism is dead. We should refer to Recep Tayyip Erdogan as “Grand Vizier” instead of President. Then the only thing left for the Turks to do in order to restore the Caliphate is to restore the Osmanli Dynasty. That family still exists. I hear that some live in the US, with American citizenship, unfortunately.

  2. “Islam, this absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, is a rotting corpse which poisons our lives.”
    -Kemal Attaturk

    Can you imagine anyone in Turkey saying this now? Or any prominent statesmen in the Western world?

  3. Erdogan is working hard to become the new Caliph, his closest rival is Morsi who has more men and weapons.
