"Britain warns of clash of civilisations in row over Turkey"

...Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, is warning of the geopolitical consequences of delivering a rebuff to Turkey. "We're concerned about a so-called clash of civilisations," he told The Politics Show, to be broadcast on BBC1 at noon today. "We're concerned about this theological-political divide, which could open up even further down the boundary between so-called Christian-heritage states and those of Islamic heritage. We need to see Turkey in the European Union and not pushed the other way."

It's so 21st century: instead of fighting the alien Ottomans we remove their dread threat by turning them into collaborators.

indeed it seems that the EU is intricately tied to the "war on terror" as it is obvious in the New World Order the agenda is about bringing the rest of the world more completely into accord with Euro-US hegemony.

whatever row there is about Iraq and the "how" to accomplish this "great work" fades when issues like this show the whole scheme for what it is.
