If this is the secular portion of Turkey, this is outstanding news. Erdogan is a fascist Islamist that is bringing that country closer to the Muslim fanatics.
I hope the military and Kurds ride his arse out on a rail. He's a war criminal and piece of shite.

You summed it up perfectly. If this is a secular coup attempt, it's HUGE!!! And GOOD!

According to the twitter reports posted in the thread on the Pt board, it is.

I'm super excited about this. Turkey has gone from one of the most progressive Islamic countries in the world to slowly sliding back toward the looney fundamentalist model.
Erdogan is reigning in freedoms and trying to Islamicize the nation. frick him and frick fundies everywhere.
Let's go secular Turkey! Take your country back!

I sure do hope they run that Erdogwan out of power. A country fighting to maintain a democracy is cerainy something to be supported and celebrated. Maybe they'll quit supporting terrorists now.

Good if the military wins out and guides an election where a secular politician is victorious. The military is staunchly secular and loyal to the ideals of Mustafa Kemal.
Bad if the military loses and Edrogan stays in power.
Bad if it all crumbles into chaos and the Islamists take over (more than they already have).
