ISTANBUL - Whoever wants to understand the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan should look at his great idol: the Islamofascist poet and ideologist Necip Fazil Kisakürek.

The dream of Kisakürek was a totalitarian country in which Islam dictates everything, in which only Muslim Turks have a place (and minorities must be eradicated or exterminated) and in which women, above all, must have children. Ayfer Erkul went to Istanbul and found that Erdogan was well on his way to fulfilling his master's dream.
