I wish best of luck to turkish military. They are the guardians of the secularity in this country and they are just doing their job. Erdogan is obvious islamist, so Im not really surprised that it finally happened. Kemal Ataturk would be proud.

What is the problem with Muslim country having Islamist leader. They are Muslim country to begin with.
What, you want a Muslim majority country ruled by non-Muslim or denied the right of Islam religion in Muslim majority country?
Unless that country declare they are no longer Islamic country.
We all hate bad leader be it Muslim or Christian or even an atheist.

I doubt that the military will attack the innocent citizens and hurt them more than that dictator Erdogan, who kills and imprisons people when they don't suit him. Erdogan sh!ts on human rights with every chance he gets, I'm glad if that monster is truly out of the game.
The Middle East - politically - is a binary place.
It's always either a secular military dictatorship or some variety of Islamist authoritarianism. Often these two factions are at each other's throats.
This is basically the entire story of Egypt in the last century, with Morsi being the most recent Islamist who was toppled by Egypt's military. In Turkey, however, the Islamist side - Mr Erdogan's party - played a much more cautious game and had avoided going too far for the military's tastes, though with Erdogan's ever increasing Islamism this was bound to happen sooner or later.
Nevertheless as long as the state in question is an ethno-state with a large degree of sectarian homogeneity, as in Egypt (Sunni Arabs are an absolute majority there), the conflict will likely remain local.
The real problem is those highly diverse states where sizeable percentages of Sunnis, Shias and different races and ethnic groups thrown into the same field, as in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Those failed states were and are regional time bombs.
And the only solution is their natural break-up into Sunni-istan, Shia-istan, Kurdistan, Pashtunistan etc.
Unfortunately, with the single exception of the Kurds, the peoples there are not interested in self-determination - they much prefer crushing other sects and ethnic groups into submission. Hence why those failed states will remain eternally unstable failures.
Turkey's Kurdish problem isn't going to be solved anytime soon but these things won't escalate into the disasters of the states south of Turkey.
So even if there is a civil war over this, it will likely be very brief and not too damage extensive for the simple reason that it will be Turks fighting other Turks - as opposed to Sunni fighting Shia or Arabs fighting Kurds (which are probably fights that will last for eternity).
thats interesting
well, as long as the innocent is safe and the corrupt is punished, i dont see the harm, though coup's arent really the best way to achieve it.
of course not, but theres always a reason why someone may say it is a good thing, its better to discuss and find out the reason, rather than calling names out.
perspective is important
It is good if its for greater good. Do you know why turkish woman in Intabul can walk freely on the street without chador or burka without any fear? It is becuase military took actions like that in the past.

Of course it is not the best way. But I guess it is the only way.
I also hope that the innocents are safe and won't be harmed.

She ignored me so it's impossible to make any kind of discussion. And sorry but if a Nazi or a terrorist came here wanting a debate you wouldn't consider his perspective at all. KonanX was promoting a military coup, declaring it's a good thing. It's possible she said it without thinking, if so she should apologize
What do you have to say about the logic that a military coup means freedom for Turkey?

OT: I'm expectant who's really behind this.
true
or so it seems :/
yeah, sadly the rest of the world are just sitting ducks, witnessing this happen
maybe shes ignoring you since you called her an imbecile (meaning: a derogatory term for stupid)
well, in my defense, I would love to have a peaceful discussion with a nazi/terrorist to find out the truth about any of their actions/beliefs so a solution can be sought out. Nothing ever good comes out in ignoring/insulting a person or his/her opinion, that will only spread/increase the hate among each other
all in all, always a better way to talk it out
