immigrants in Europe, the radicalization of the Turkish population,
especially its Kurdish segment, will likely replicate itself in Europe.
The AKP’s religious bent, disconcerting in itself, can easily spin out
of control. The lesson of the AKP experience for the Arab world,
particularly give that Muslim Brotherhood-led governments may take
over in the region, is that religious orthodoxy is an ideological beauty
contest in which the winner is always the ugly guy.
Soner Cagaptay is director of the Turkish Research Program at the
Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he is also a senior
fellow.
