State visit of Turkish President Abdullah Gul
39 Answers
During the recent state visit of the Turkish President Abdullah Gul and First Lady, Hayrunnisa Gul, the Queen was reported as saying:
/// "We have come through a great deal together to develop what is, today, a very modern partnership," she said. "In Europe, the British Government remains committed to working with you to secure your place in the European Union.".///
it seems now that Turkey has already got the blessing of both the Queen and her government to join the EU, so if Turkey is successful in achieving this goal, will it have the dramatic effect of increasing the influence of Islam here in the UK?
One can only hope that France's opposition to them joining will be successful.

Hmm,
I don't think the fact that most of it is in what used to be called Asia Minor is really an issue. And part of the country, including the capital, is in "Europe proper" if you like. So it's either part of Europe and Asia, or neither.
I see you've belong to the Harry Redknapp/Tony Pulis travelogue :-)

“And if Turkey wasn't full of Moslems would anyone be raising the issue?”
Yes. I would. I don’t much care what religion Turkish people are. The thought of expanding the corrupt anti-democratic empire that is the EU even further is more offensive to me than you found this question, ichkeria.
The notion that another 70m people will have unfettered access to these shores fills me with dread. It may have escaped yours and Messi_Ten’s notice but there are more than a million 16-24 year olds in this country without a job. It’s perfectly true that a number of them, like their parents and possibly grandparents, have no intention whatsoever of working. Best that the government sets them to work or withdraws their benefits before shipping in ever greater numbers to fill the jobs they “will not do”.
