Eastwood meets Westwood

Выставив перед собой философский камень, Clean Harry неспешно подошёл к распростёртому на земле исчадью ада, и наигранным жестом поправив очки, сквозь зубы процедил:

- I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, "Does this thing still have power, or is it all gone?" Well, to tell you the truth, I've forgotten myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a Magnum Opus, philosopher's stone, the most powerful thing in the world alchemy can produce, and would save you clean right on the spot, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I want to be saved? WELL, DO YA PUNK ?!

No - I don't want to write usual crap about "impotent European liberals", "backward Muslims" and arcane question of "joint Dutch and Moroccan nationality".

What I do want to consider is that the problem of "militant Islam" is clearly rooted not in Muslim world, but in Arab world. Whereas Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia are adapting, Arab countries lag behind. And the lag is too great.

That makes me think that accepting/rejecting Turkey in EU is a most important political choice of this decade.
