I'd be happy for the people of Turkey. Personally, I could care less if the man spontaneously combusted as I type this.

I'd have mixed feelings.
He seems to be engineering a slow transition to an Iran-style Islamic republic, but, on the other hand, the sudden removal of a head of state -- even if despotic-- does not have a rosy historical record.

I'd want to understand what is waiting in the wings to take over, before I answered this question.

Depends who is behind the coup.

Gulenists behind the coup means more islamic Turkey. Secular atheists behind the coup means gay pride in Istanbul 2017 close to the mosques.

Ah i see

Now that the people of Turkey wants him, are u happy for them?

 

[Valjean]

Perhaps we need a new Ataturk.

Nope. Not everyone in Turkey wants Erdogan heading the ship of state and god help anyone who even shows signs of being in his way.

You say that as if it would be a bad thing.

I'd be happy if all religion was purged from all states and people could go on about their lives without concern that their disagreement with a religion could mean a various range of punishments, including execution. I don't have a problem with religion, but I do have a problem when someone who runs a state demands that everyone be observant to their own personal religious views.
As for the coup, I would have seen it as a god send for the Turkish people, as their secular status has been corroding and evaporating before their very eyes.

Which means more freedom and power for the people. If your mosque cannot stand the sight of people who live a life that you believe is wrong, then it is your mosque (or church, synagogue, or whatever) that must examine their own views because it is not their right to dictate the lives of others.

Personaly i think Turkey was better off as Ottoman state or as islamic republic.

The great sadness is that many Turks are good with that erosion.

I don't understand the last line. It has no meaning in English.

I know. I fear this failed coup may push Turkey closer to being a theocracy.

It means, i exercise my universal right to oppose homosexuality.

 

[YmirGF]

I wasn't aware that that was a universal right. Are you good with my "universal right" to oppose Islam?

I'm thinking it's more than just these two scenarios, but I get what you're conveying.

Do you not know who's behind the coup? If not, then how do you answer the OP question (you asked)?

Why not within the mosques themselves? Install a disco ball, some strobe lights, a kickin' sound system and get some dance music pumping, and let the molly and poppers flow.
