No. Absolutely not. Secularity is on the wane since AKP took power. It's a fundamentalist islamic party practicing taqiyya towards europe whilst at the same time trying to reinstitute a theocracy.

treatise on present day Turkey: http://www.meforum.org/2047/islamists-approach-europe

quote:

Moderate Islamists want to Islamize, not democratize.[41] They are committed to the procedure of democracy but not to its pluralistic and peaceful political culture. Political Islam in Turkey is an important issue for Europe. Turkey not only has close relations to the West, but it also has a diaspora of more than four million in the European Union.[42] While many moderate Muslims seek to Europeanize Islam, the Islamism practiced by the AKP is an ideology of cultural divide, tension, and conflict, despite all of the pro-Europe rhetoric in which Islamists in Turkey engage in their pursuit to exploit the European Union for their agenda of Islamization.

Turkey has nothing to do with Europe. Their lack of culture and barbarism doesn't have any place in a civilized continent. Turkey belongs to Asia...If someone is from Turkey and reads that, I am sorry but the majority of turks is like that...(and live in Asia!). The only part of Turkey that geographically belongs to Europe was taken from the Greeks...

The more ridiculous point is why Israel are allowed to act like they are part of Europe, they even participate in the damn Eurovision song contest. So before some people harp on a bout secular Islam, try having a look at the Jews as well.

Israel doesn't belong to Europe...I don't think they belong anywhere...

"They"

Anti Semitic much?

and for the earlier post crying about Israel being in the Eurovision... that has NOTHING to do with politics. It's down to a countries TV stations choosing to be a member of the EBU

What? Israel is only affiliated to Europe in regards to sport competitions/events and the eurovision, but it ends there.

Israel has no plans or wishes to join the EU or anything like that.

btw Morocco and Turkey participated in the Eurovision as well .

I'd say Israel belongs to the Middle East but yea... that is kind of a problem.

I wouldn't mind if Israel didn't exist. I don't mind if they do exist. I really don't care about them.

Israel has preferred trade partner status. As for the eurosong festival it has nothing to do with the EU, (which is meant by the poll question) so who cares?

I guess Growled represents the 12 voters. And on first hand his comment seems logical.

But one should notice that Turkey has well over 76.000.000 inhabitants,

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/th...ok/geos/tu.html

making it the second largest nation in the EU.

Since the EU gives the votes on the base of population size, it would give Turkey an enormous presence in the European council, European Committee.

Think well, do you really want to hand that much influence on a platter to fundamentalist islamic government?

No more than I want germany to have the power they do in the EU.

so if those are the wishes of the turkish people... how is that different fromt he wishes of the german, or french or italian or english people ? because they're evil muslims ?

Because Turkey has no democracy. The military rules there and controls the goverment. Because Turkey has taken half Cyprus. Because Turkey wants to take some islands from Greece. Because Turkey has slaughtered millions of Armenians.

DO YOU WANT MORE REASONS? READ A BIT OF HISTORY!

They are uncivilized, with no intentions of living in freedom and peace. They want blood and they also want to take over Europe.

I live in Germany and I See them every day here. They don't integrate, they don't respect anyone, they don't accept other religions and they are dirty and barbarians. I am sorry for the few Turks that are not like that. I am sure there are a few but the majority is as I described.

PS: Istanbul's real Name is Constantinople and it was GREEK. Learn HISTORY

Turkey has only one goal: To destroy Europe's culture

How do you dare to think like that? Think again! Read a bit before you say the things you say. I have met so many Turks that I can have an opinion about them and I will never ever accept them as long as they remain the way they are...

Yes, how do I dare not share your narrowminded xenophobic views.

I have met a lot of turks to, and honestly, just from that one rant, I trust everyone of them more than you.

speaking of history.... glass houses and all that.

Probably, but you haven't met their leaders though:

http://www.meforum.org/2047/islamists-approach-europe

The AKP, however, does not accept Europeanization. Rather, AKP leaders pursue a double strategy: They verbally dissociate their party—and themselves—from political Islam while simultaneously embracing Islamic identity politics and, like many Islamist parties across the globe, also engaging in anti-Christian polemics.[16] The AKP uses education as its major instrument to further Islamist identity politics, introduce reinvented Islamic values, and de-Westernize society. And while the AKP claims secular credit for pursuing Turkey's EU membership, it defames Europe as an exclusionary "club of Christians."[17] Since its November 2002 accession, the AKP has engaged in a "creeping Islamization."[18] The AKP has sought to further this through politics of cultural Islamization, especially in education and media. Erdoğan has worked to expand Anatolian culture in the cities, helped by internal migration. The slums and shanty towns have become the AKP's chief base of support.

Xenophobic Views? Tell that to the millions that were killed by Turks. Tell that to their relatives.

I have no problem with Turks that are civilized and accept other cultures. They are unfortunately the exception...

PS: I was born in Cyprus and I am Greek. My parents have lost their house because barbarians (Turks) took over half of Cyprus. They killed, raped and slaughtered people. You live in a country that never experienced such violence and have never seen things like that. I understand where you are coming from but I suggest you go and visit Armenia and Kurdistan...After that go to Cyprus and see for yourself.

I have a Cypriot passport and I am an EU citizen. Despite of that I am still not allowed to go to Turkey! The reason? Turkey says that they are in a state of war with Cyprus!

If you still want them in the EU, then you are dangerous and an IDIOT

I hope you will at some point understand how mistaken you are. I hope it won't be though when Turks rape and kill all of your family, just because you are not a Turk

you need an effing clue.

and if we're going to go by history, I think there are nations already in the eu that have bigger historical issues.

You don't understand! Their history is also their present!!! They haven't changed!

If they had, I wouldn't have any problem accepting them as a land, although I still believe that Turkey is an asiatic country. Don't let the few civilized Turks fool you...Don't do that mistake

you need an effing clue.

and if we're going to go by history, I think there are nations already in the eu that have bigger historical issues.

Well i don't go by history, i go by present day. And since Turkey's double agenda is plain to see i prefer they stay firmly entranced in the middle east, the governments political stance has much more in common with the theocracies there and absolutely nothing in common with then EU's.

Secularism is barely on their agenda, the military have been sidetracked by EU cultural relativists so offer no more protection.

And furthermore Turkey adds nothing of any consequence to the EU except a desire to feed from the EU's gravytrain.

And those which dream of a positive role Turkey could play in bridging the ravine between the two cultures should better take notice of what Turkey's leader actually DO and less of what they SAY.

The more ridiculous point is why Israel are allowed to act like they are part of Europe, they even participate in the damn Eurovision song contest. So before some people harp on a bout secular Islam, try having a look at the Jews as well.

lol when was the last time a plane was flown into a building in the name of judaism?

My vote is no, until they can prove they are cleaning up their act, and sorting out their Human rights issues then no.

you need an effing clue.

and if we're going to go by history, I think there are nations already in the eu that have bigger historical issues.

No, you do.

I have been to and love Turkey. I think the people there are very moderate compaired to other Islamic cultures.

However, they still have their large share of Islamic nut jobs who like to blow things up in the name of Islam in order to repress the masses.

Do i think Turkey should be allowed in the EU? No. They are nice to visit and are doing well with their economy, partly thanks to the fact that they dont follow a state of Sharia and dont do their money matters according to Islamic laws, however, they are still Islamic and would open up the flood gates for illegals from other countries to claim they are Turkish to gain access to the UK (namely illegals who want to gain access in order to push their violent and repressive agenda).

We have enough Islamic mad men in Europe and the West as it is and dont need any more thanks.

However, it says in both the Bible and the Qu'ran, that the East will rule the west i believe? Therefore, they will likely be allowed to join the Eu and will likely further press the agenda to make this biblical and religious prediction come true.

    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
