You brought up Islam and have moved the thread away from NK...which isn't good....I don't mind myself but it's a bit confusing for those reading.

You make some valid points but your emphasis about Islam is just wrong. Your portray of it is just divorced from reality. Name me the Islam majority country you would permanently live in? The reality of that proves that you talk absolute nonsense. Nutters are everywhere, that is another deflection from reality.

Now you can carry on waffling about Islam on the NK thread or you could discuss NK.

What do your legion of 'Turkish friends' think of Erdogan?

Not answering my question but I see you feel that it's ok to ask me another one. Well, unlike you Kermy I don't bulk at answering questions.

A percentage will be Muslims, a percentage will be converts to Islam. A percentage will have business interests there. A percentage may just like the culture.... I don't know. It's not really relevant...what are you saying? Turkey is awful but it's hardly representative of most Islamic majority countries anyway which rather tragically make it look good.

Turkey is an Islamic majority country that voted in its non secular religious party....It's getting what the majority want.

Perhaps...but being pulled apart by horses might prove a big incentive not to.

NK are probably looking for full nuclear capacity and then protection money by threats....unfortunately similar methods have worked in the past.

There is no good answer to this....The only way to avoid conflict could be by making NK very rich......They have 13, 000 artillery pieces trained on Seoul. You could nuke them but they could still kill hundreds of thousands in Seoul before their artillery is silenced.....that's including the radiation from the many nukes you'd need.

South Korea can pay the blackmail.....If they threatened my children I wouldn't want to live in Pyongyang or Seoul.

There are no good answers....But we will get an answer soon enough whatever it is.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely....or something like that. When you've murdered all possible relatives who could pose a threat to your leadership, have a population that is brainwashed and is hell bent on developing weapons of mass destruction is a sure fire recipe for serious trouble.

What Trump needs is a war, with NK sabre rattling that is now a distinct possibility. An unprovoked attack on Guam, a US territory where it's citizens are all US citizens would be a declaration of war. This will not end well for anyone especially Kim Jung In.
