Turks elect ex-Islamist president

Just before you are wondering what the hell is 'ex-Islamist', it basically means he has a Islamist background, Islmist (the term obviously invented by favorite kuffar politicians and extreme secular western lovers) basically means he's a practicing Muslim.

Abdullah Gul pictured above with his wife, who by the way has been criticised for wearing the headscarf became the first politician with an Islamist background since the creation of the deeply stupid secular Turkish Republic in 1923.

By the way the headscarf is currently banned from public institutions in Turkey.

Mr Gul secured 339 votes in the 550-seat parliament but he had to take oath at a ceremony in parliament, pledging loyalty to man made law (democracy) and to the deaf, dumb and blind secular Republic. He had to say: "As long as I am in office, I will embrace all our citizens without any bias,".

Even after that on Monday the military warned about threats to the secular constitution. Turkey's military and secular establishment suspect he might harbour a secret Islamist agenda because he is considered to be a devout Muslim.
