In the new 'Islamist' Turkey rulers are only Accountable in the ‘presence of God’.

In the new 'Islamist' Turkey rulers are only Accountable in the ‘presence of God’. (HD). By BURAK BEKDİL.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has pledged that from now on, “with God’s permission,” no prime minister shall be held accountable at a court, he will only be accountable “to those who vote for him, and in the presence of God.”

That is a perfect expression of Islamist democracy featuring worship of the ballot box as long as it produces votes “for us.” It might be useful to recall some names and numbers. Hmmm.....Burak Bekdil is one of the best journalists Turkey has to offer. Read the full story here.
