There is a small mistake: he got 339 vote not 337
And I hope he will be a good president, he deserves this...
 
Always this G.W. Bush-Attitude: 'If you are not my friend, you're my enemy. There's also a third party in Tureky, the ones, who say 'I don't care as long as he's a good president'

Here is a quote of Gul

"As long as I am in office, I will embrace all our citizens without any bias,".

So why again this 'enemy'-attitude ???
 
To me he seems an excellent choice. He is liked by orthodox Muslims and he embraces the West and Europe. It only proves that being a Muslim doesn't automatically make you anti-Western.
 
Secular Turkey was opressive for the majority of its people- muslims. So now , new president, ex-islamist (or not ex) should improve this situation.
 
when all the disbelievers consider him to be a good president it makes me worried :( mainly because it makes me think he will govern by the secular standards...

It's not the anti-bush attitude, it's the anti-religious secular extremists attitude. The secular extremist army has ousted 4 presidents and toppled democratically elected gov'ts by the people for fear of being under thread of loosing their secularism. They threatened him twice already about taking over if he goes islamic on their a$$. All this becuase he is proud to be Muslim and his wife wears the headscarf which is a commandment by God in the Quran and yet banned by the secular extremists in a 99.9% muslim nation. These morons also forget that while they lay in their filth of hate, it was Gul who made most progress in establishing diplomatic relationships with Europe and pulled turkey into modern age with all the reforms and what not.
 
Secularists are in the wrong - if you see the reasons for their ways, its all selfish and greed, much like how the western world works. Im not targetting individuals - but when you actually understand the Economics of the Western world (infact, most of the world, because none really do follow the Islamic way) it is just a disgrace, yet people blindly believe they have this so called freedom, when they truly are being controlled without noticing :).
 
They are making a big deal that he is a muslim...


All over the western world,lncluding here in Singapore, its plastered over the paper that "ISLAMIST become leader of Turkey"..double standards.

InshaAllah... I really hope so too. :)

MashaAllah, he seems quite nice.
 
As long as the people of Turkey are happy with him and he does a good job with his position, who cares what religion he is and who cares how his wife chooses to dress

Huh? "Economics of the Western world"? What the heck does that mean? Do you mean unrestricted Capitalism (like the old Hong Kong or to a lesser extent the US) or Communism (like Cuba)?

Is Islam an economic model too?

Every description of Gul I have heard is that he is a "reformed" or "former" Islamist.

One does have to ask why, without oil, Turkey, has one of the best economies of the Muslim world.

Can you say Ataturk?

I think majority of turkish muslims have adopted to a secular mix of lifestyle with Islam ignoring the clashes. I dont think they will be shedding their secular ways anytime soon.

Turkey will be re-opened to Islam with two words insha'Allah!

:w:
 
i think this is good news for turkey. it could become a model.
the people that are all freaked out that he may be a bit too muslimmy-yummy for their taste needn't worry. i'm pretty sure if the gov't got too islam-friendly, the military would step in.
 
Please tell me more about his character and his view on secularism.

And his plan for the country.
