This is just another example of muslims voluntarily voting in an authoritarian. The failure of Arab spring was quite predictable but it is especially troubling that it has occurred in Turkey where Ataturk had taken extraordinary steps to try and keep Turkey secular. Erdogan is more than likely just in it to keep himself in power by using the islamic mindset to grant himself complete authority, but he won't live forever. The system he is putting in place will morph into full blown Islamism IMO and Ataturk's vision for Turkey is dead.
It appears to me that the mindset that Islam creates is one where there is a strong desire for an authoritarian to tell everyone exactly how to live and what to do. This is the pattern that Mohamed established and this, among other undying memes in islam makes it the most dangerous of all the religions.

If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
