Keeping my fingers crossed that Turkey can shed its Islamist autocrat today.

Not least of all because it would be good to be able to visit friends and family again.

Funny thing when he first ran, he ran as an anti-Islamist. I have a lot of respect for the Islamic faith, but I think Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, or any other religion should not lead a country. It should give tomorrow underpinnings to the people that should not control the government.
