I dont think that Turkey will join EU in near future. Since Turks chose islamists and Erdogan, they also chose some way of thinking which is far from being euro-friendly. In Europe, for our liberals Erdogan is unaccaptable because he wants to ban divorces and supports religious fundamentalism. For european conservatives he is not to accept because he flirts with Hamas and often he and all Turks show fierce anti european and anti western attitude.Besides, majority of the european citizens would be against joining of Turkey to EU.

I will recall a hadith which says that before the Day of Judgment, Constantinople (present day Istanbul) will go back to Romans (i.e Europe). I see this coming true.

Moreover all the other EU nations are industrialized, but Turkey is still based on its agricultural sector.

Turkey's dynamic economy is a complex mix of modern industry and commerce along with a traditional agriculture sector that still accounts for more than 35% of employment. It has a strong and rapidly growing private sector, yet the state still plays a major role in basic industry, banking, transport, and communication. The largest industrial sector is textiles and clothing, which accounts for one-third of industrial employment; it faces stiff competition in international markets with the end of the global quota system. However, other sectors, notably the automotive and electronics industries, are rising in importance within Turkey's export mix. Real GNP growth has exceeded 6% in many years, but this strong expansion has been interrupted by sharp declines in output in 1994, 1999, and 2001. The economy is turning around with the implementation of economic reforms, and 2004 GDP growth reached 9%, followed by roughly 5% annual growth from 2005-07. Inflation fell to 7.7% in 2005 - a 30-year low - but climbed back to 8.5% in 2007

And btw about the hadith. There is another one, "Constantinople will go out of the fold and it will return when a group of the people chant "allahu akbar" out side the city gates"

Take a pick
 
I read some last polls about the will of Turks to join the EU and only about 30% of the Turks were saying - Yes. I would risk a thesis that at least 70% of europeans dont want Turkey in EU also.

Every year such surveys are made in Turkey, in the last years the support for joining EU has dropped sighnificantly. It used to be about 60% at the begining of the XXI century, since the 2002 it started to fall. Now its about 30% and I cant give You a link to an article that I read in Newsweek :).
So it seems that neither Turks want to enter EU, nor we europeans want them among us.

In my country if an Asian married a European, their kids would be called as Eurasians...or Pan-Asians...

Most of the Muslim Eurasians in Malaysia have British and Irish ancestry..

I think that the asian entity, pan asianism is something that doesnt exist. What have in common Taiwanese with Indians and Indians with Japanese and they with lets say Malaysians. Those are various cultures and civilizations.

Really? Can you provide a source for this Hadith bro? Is it in Bukhari? Because I really want to read this... Interesting... I didn't know that.

I have seen a video "The End of Times" by Dr. Shahid Masood. You can find this video on Youtube and it is really an eye opener if you understand urdu.
 
clear no - as a Turkish man i am asking everyone here, what do I and a Danish man have in common? Really nothing much. If a union has to be - than pls. with the ones that we have anything in common with.

OOO, please define "islamization". And is it really about islamization or Turkization of Europe? (looking at what happened with the Poles when they joined as well as the *ahem* Roma people)

In the end I argued that the people he is talking about do not mix with politics and that making individuals love God and Islam is their real mission, not to islamise states.

I mean by "islamization" European people will get more chances to know Islam closely.I think a good deal of people are drowned in the sea of metarialism and darwinism.And people studying Risale-i Nur in Turkey has the formula for these sorrowful people.
I am not talking about forcing anybody or making use of politics or arms.What I mean is people in Europe will just have more muslim neighbours.And if this happens I am sure the number of Muslims in Europe will increase.Because,I think if a fair and unprejudiced person read the truths of Islam, he will embrace it, accept it.
