Did anyone see that article, I think it was on CNN.COM, that referenced Turkey? I believe it had "Young Turks," in the header, and it described how western Turkey, "Kemalian" Turkey, the Turkey of Kemal Ataturk, was the pro-Western, pro-Democracy, pro-Secularism... whereas rural Eastern Turkey was the pro-Islamism, bumpkin half.
At any rate, as I know that you all follow world events, you'll know as I do that Turkey is moving further to the right. It is finding more in common with its fellow Islamic countries than it is with its fellow NATO countries.
What I want to say, is that the article called into question a very realistic trend that I have recognized before but never been able to scientifically verify.
The article said that Turkey was moving further to the Islamic right because, the Anatolian Turks (i.e., the rural, backwards, Islamic ones) are out-breeding and out-populating the city-dwelling, secular, western Kemalian Turks. This obviously means that Turkey is sliding backwards in time to it's Ottoman-era state, simply because the majority of the population that is growing the fastest is this naive pro-Islamic population base---the same base that elected this new leader who is suddenly so adamantly anti-Israel.
My point in this article isn't to bring to light this political topic, it's to bring to light the population trend.
Why is it that more-developed, intellectual, intelligent, refined and civilized peoples stop breeding? Whereas, to be frank, dumber, more rural, primitive ones seem to out-breed them?
We know that the native populations in Europe are stagnant and that they are being out-bred at home by immigrants... chiefly Islamic immigrants. And here in the US, while our situation is not so dire as France's or Italy's, we are being outbred and replaced by a nation of Hispanics.
Turkey provides a perfect microcosm for this, because in this case we have both halves of the puzzle in one country.
Why is it that more advanced and intellectual peoples are not prolific breeders? Why are the Kenyans and the Ethiopians and the Anatolian Turks outbreeding the English and the Italians and the Kemalist Turks?
You may cite this as all paranoia and coincidence but I see this as a very realistic trend in human biology. And at the risk of sounding a racist, I find it frightening as a caucasian.
