[PEN-L:32510] Re: AP: The US wants to showcase Turkey as an example

A while ago Jim asked:

I did not know how to answer this question at the time. Now, I
have an answer: No!

AKP represents liberal islam or islamic liberalism. Of course,
you need to use your imagination for a definition of what this
means. If you can come up with your own definition, however, then
you may want to call what they represent islo-liberalism, given
what we know about neo-liberalism.

To sum up, AKP is not Islamic Democrat but islo-liberal.

This is why I still think AKP is a US creation, though I still
don't have any proof.
