Going slightly off the point.... has anyone got any strong views on whether Turkey should join the EU? Will this exacerbate tension? I'm going to show my ignorance now but I'm thinking in terms of the supposed 'clash of civillisations' of Isalm and Chrisitanity and whether or not they can ever co-exist in any kind of harmony.

I do think that the West has some kind of need for a menacing 'other'.
