After WW1, as we all know, Turkey emerged from the decadence of the Ottoman age into what appeared to be a bright new secular future and an example for all of Islam. Under Erdogan in recent years that has slowly but surely receded. Next week a law is likely to be passed legitamising sex with girls of 12 in marriage. A couple of weeks ago a women's rights march was pepper sprayed. The oppressive forces of traditional Islam wield ever more power.
But in NZ they will broadcast the medieval call to prayer nationally?
