'Islam problem' baffles Turkey

Here's a little BBC article about the influence of Islam in Turkey, and the differing opinions that European and Turkish citizens and politicians feel on the matter. It's not a hugely insightful article but perhaps gives a good overview. In my mind, European prejudices and misconceptions about Islam will be one of the biggest hurdles for Turkey's entrance into the European Union.

Also, this is another photo I took in Istanbul. It's a mosque in the early morning sunrise. I don't know which one it is, but it was certianly beautiful.
