You have to laugh (almost) at the pathetic efforts of some Islamists to impute a Jewish conspiracy to an elected government in power anywhere. But it is particularly odd when the government is a supposedly "religious right" Muslim government, as is the case in Turkey.
And who is leveling the anti-Semitic smear? Folk connected to Turkey's secularist movement!

Once again the estimable Turkish journalist Mustafa Akyol of the Turkish Daily News pins the tail on the jackass. Congratulations also to the Washington Post for savoring the irony on their pages.
Who's Who is seldom easy to figure out in the Muslim world, but there are a few invaluable guides. Mustafa Akyol is one. Here he drives home a key judgment: don't trust "secularists" to save civilization from violence and prejudice.
