well just to make it officially clear, the AK party in turkey never declared themselves to be islamist. they have always maintained that they are a conservative party that has the support of the religious right. Plenty of conservative parties in secular nations do the exact same thing. It could be India, it could be germany, the UK and even here in the u.s. the repulican party has the backing of the religiouis right, and even one of thier own fundamentalists is currently sitting in the white house.
