Under Turkish rule -The Jewish safe-haven myth
…true secularism does not mean just any secularism. It means secularism that protects individual freedoms and rights, not the ultra-nationalist kind that breeds an environment in which Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is a bestseller, the Armenian 'genocide' is denied and minorities are persecuted. Hrant Dink, the Armenian editor, was murdered by such a nationalist. It is this mix of virulent nationalism and predatory Islam in Turkey that makes the challenge for Turkish secular liberals greater than for any other liberal movement today.

I didn't read everything (too long) but it's an interesting and well documented story. Something to think about. Especially what Turkey did during World War II.
Cheers
The story is quiet revealing for me...
