Turkey's 'Islamist' party doesnt even call themselves that, they call themsevles a 'conservative' party on par with western conservative parties. I find them to be the a shining example however for other islamic political parties throughout the Ummah. In other words, they are hardly the Taliban. But it is true, in cases where they have been held back from the political process, violence has broken out. Let them take part in elections, let them take thier message to the voting masses. if it's what the people want, then let them vote them in. I dont like the fact that jamaat i islami is ruling NWFP province in pakistan, but i know given thier policies that they have instituted, that they will be thrown out of office once election time rolls around. It is a proven fact that when these parties are allowed to take part in the political process, politcial violence is almost non-existence.
