The turkish constitution, as it is, goes to great pains to be strictly secular and to not grant any individual power without checks and balances. So, it's both, actually. One power hungry person and an Islamist on the side.

OK. I guess I've got no issues with executive powers as long there exists as system of effective checks and balances. If he is granting his own powers (or his majority backers) I would have an issue.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
