I lived in Turkey, in the early 60's. I learned about Islam there.  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk brought Turkey into the 20th century by ousting Sharia Law and instituting secular law.  My Turkish friends would always laugh and kid whenever i said something that was contrary to Shari Law.  "Oh, we have to kill you now, you infidel." And I would say WHAT?  And they would say "NO, no, no not anymore, we want to be part of the 20th century."  But the Muslims today, that want to follow Sharia Law, aren't kidding. They want to kill all of us, because we are infidels, and will not convert. And what REALLY scares me is that Erdogan of the Turks is steering back to Sharia.
