TURKEY'S ISLAMISTS CONTINUE TO EXPAND THEIR WAR AGAINST SECULARISM


Islamists continue assault on secularism in Turkey:
A former chief of Turkey's powerful armed forces has been named as a suspect and called in for questioning by investigators probing an Internet campaign to discredit Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party, state media said Tuesday. 
General Ilker Basbug, who retired in 2010, is the highest-ranking officer to be caught up in a widening investigation into the so-called Ergenekon network, an ultra-nationalist group accused by prosecutors of conspiring to topple the government. 
The Ergenekon case is seen as part of a power struggle between AK, which has roots in a banned Islamist party and swept to power in 2002, and the secularist armed forces, which have ousted four governments in 40 years.
ERDOGAN AND THE AKP HAVE BEEN AS RELENTLESS IN THEIR ASSAULT ON THE TURKISH ARMED FORCES AS THEY HAVE IN THEIR ASSAULT AGAINST ISRAEL.

IOW: IT'S THE DOMESTIC FRONT IN THEIR WAR AGAINST THE WEST.
