Turkey is a strong police state that is ground zero in the war between secularists and radical Muslims wishing to establish a theocracy. The terrorist attack in Turkey was just one of many failures of ISIS to win the hearts of Muslims worldwide and in making an enemy out of Turkish president Recepp Tayyip Erdogan who had let this terrorist group free-reign to wage war against both the Kurds and Assad's forces in Syria. however, like most terrorist snakes the head can come back and bite the tail and eventually the Islamic state would have its snake eyes on Turkey. Once Turkey made reconciliation with Israel and put a tougher stance on the terrorists battling the Kurds Istanbul has become a target. Fifty Turks were killed in airport attacks in another ability of ISIS showing the extreme carnage they are still capable of in a crowded area to make a government look bad. All this will do is further erode their base and create another state enemy that will go after them and ISIS will continue to recruit suicide Muslims from around the world that just cannot handle life without Sharia law. The further encroachment of Gay and lesbian event and lifestyles in pride weeks being celebrated in the Turkish capital is further evidence of urban-country divide in this country that divides Asian from Europe. Perhaps the Turkish dilemma is best summed up by Turkish expert and his quote that the capacity of IS and similar Sunni militant groups in Turkey is set to grow as long as the country allows political Islam in the hinterland to grow unfettered," said Ege Seckin, analyst with IHS Country Risk. This comment resonates as the hinterlands of Islamic countries continue to fall behind the cites and all is left are the insane rabble rousers who cling closer to the beliefs of their ancestors and generations past as they see change they are extremely uncomfortable occur before their eyes.
Seckin warned that "the semi-autonomous and non-hierarchical nature of IS cells in Turkey", which the intelligence services estimate to include some 3,000 Turks, makes it difficult to detect them before they act.
