LATEST PIECE AT BIG PEACE: WIKILEAKS CABLES

After the latest round of Wikileaks cables were released this past weekend, we saw what many are calling the 'unvarnished truth.' The latest batch of documents are certainly the most revealing. There were two things in particular that caught my attention. One was Saudi Arabia's pleading with the United States to attack Iran and the other was the concern on the part of U.S. diplomats that Islamism in the Turkish government is on the rise.

In their eyes, Saudi Arabia is committing national apostasy and in Islam, being an apostate is worse than being an infidel or non-believer.

Another piece to the Islamic jigsaw puzzle involves Turkey, which has been aligning with Iran in recent years. The Wikileaks cables show American diplomats’ high level of concern over Turkey’s trend toward Islamist rule and even the neo-Ottoman visions of its Foreign Minister. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heads the Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) which advocates Islamist governance. Turkey is also ground zero for the Ottoman Empire, an Islamic Caliphate that was disbanded in 1924, after World War I.....
