Comment: Meanwhile Erdogan is bullying any opposition into submission through intimidation and fear in order to gain absolute power through 2029.  The Globe barely addresses Turkey's regression under Erdogan after 70+ years of secularism because of some misguided commitment to political correctness.  The religious implications of Erdogan's government conflict with the Globe's "progressive" agenda; essentially, Erdogan is an unapologetic Islamist and the last 10 years are a reflection of Islamism's natural progression as a political force to suffocate liberal secularism and individual freedoms in favour of an authoritarian state governed by religious law. No free expression, no free press, no freedom of association, and a constitutional amendment that would give Erdogan the powers of a Sultan. The fact that the Globe's writers would be arrested in Turkey if they covered Erdogan the same way they do Trump highlights the Globe's shameless bias, the irony would be comical if not so pitiful.
