what’s happening in turkey is not the clash of secularism vs islamism, altho that seems to be the only lens thru which msm see everything that goes on in what they like to call the “muslim world.” turkey is expressing the same resistance to neoliberal policies and authoritarian control that we’ve seen all over the world, including the US. here’s an interesting interview with a well-known turkish journalist. it starts at 21:00 and they discuss the secularism/islamism binary at 23.30. before this interview, u might wanna check out sara salem (egypt) debating the head of femen (france) about the usefulness of femen protest tactics. listen here.
