Turkey's Election

Reform-minded, mildly Islamist nationalism, not Islamo-fascism as the real future. A future better than "moderate" autocracies and corrupt secular Arab nationalism.

clipped from news.yahoo.com ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey's Islamic-rooted ruling party won parliamentary elections Sunday, taking at least 331 of 550 seats despite warnings from the secular opposition that the government was a threat to secular traditions. The state-run Anatolia news agency said the ruling Justice and Development Party had won with 85 percent of the votes counted. Two secular parties, the Republican People's Party and the Nationalist Action Party, won 124 seats and 76 seats respectively, Anatolia said. Independents won 19 seats.
