In an earlier post I wrote Islam is mounting a three pronged attack on the world.

One of those attacks is coming through the education system. Now from Turkey we get:

Turkish education plan brings charges of 'hidden Islamic agenda'

From The Financial Times via Jihad Watch

Ever since it was established by Kemal Ataturk in an atmosphere of war against Islam, Turkish democracy has survived by alternating oppression of radical Muslims with concessions to them. From the Financial Times, with thanks to Nicolei:

Universities in Turkey are locked in a dispute with the government over a proposed change to admissions policy that has led to claims of a "hidden Islamic agenda" and has echoes of a previous clash between the secular state and an Islamic-oriented government. Some university rectors threatened to resign yesterday and opposition MPs walked out of a parliamentary commission in protest at a government proposal to give students from Islamic high schools the same access to secular third-level institutions as those from secular high schools

[...]

The government's measure would overturn a 1999 law banning students from imam hatip high schools, where they get a solid Islamic schooling, from receiving third-level education in secular universities and pursuing careers other than as imams and preachers. That law was introduced after Turkey's first, unhappy experience with an Islamic-oriented government, and it drastically reduced the number of students at these schools.

Some opponents of the new measure said it would lead to a revival of imam hatip schools and greatly expand religious education, violating the republic's official secular ideology.

Many university-educated Turks remain convinced that the AKP has a "hidden agenda" to force all women to wear headscarves and to shift the country, whose population of 70m is 99 per cent Muslim, gradually towards a stricter interpretation of Islamic law. Any suggestion of a move in that direction would almost certainly end Turkey's chances of joining the European Union.
