Turkey complains about the way the EU treats it - again

[REDY]

It seems about as European as some other places I've been like southern Italy, Andalucia and the Czech Republic. Just with a few more mosques.

Southern Europe, Andalaucia and the Czech Republic are uneuropean hellholes. They should be kicked out - poor and on the edge of civilisation. Dont forget that Catholics civilised them quite late and unsuccesfully - south of Italy was ortodox, Andalaucia was contolled by muslims and in Bohemia raised hell hussites. Not much changed - In the Czech Republic is still hussite church, in Southern Europe mafia and in Andalaucia are still some mosques

If we want some European identity, we need firstly kill some infidels.

Are you freakin serious? Or what is this, a poor attempt at sarcasm?

The latter, I suspect.

In that case, I'd like to put an emphasis on the word "poor" from my previous post.

Not really, if you translate it from Czenglish, he has a point. European identity has indeed been seen mostly as a contradiction to something else. Like, "we don't really know what exactly makes us European, but we're definitely not like them Africans, Asians, Indians, Turks, Muslims, etc." Which means that the lowest common denominator was Christianity and the culture based on it (and on the Classical heritage, barbarian traditions and later the great movements that shaped Europe - the Crusades, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment...).

Winner's views on Christianity are like some weird version of Heisenburg's uncertainty principle - Christianity is either dogmatic backwards superstitious religion and thus very bad, or essential to Europe's identity and thus very good, but can never be both at the same time.
