Who you calling a moderate Islamic state? - Turkey

I read a couple articles that give Turkish perspective on Obamas visit. One was "Turkey in Full", an oped in the NYTimes.

The biggest deal to the Turks was that Obama did not call Turkey a 'moderate Islamic state' which it is not. This was basically what Bush and others called the state to support their own misguided foreign policy goals.

Turks HATE being called a moderate Islamic state - they consider themselves a secular democratic state.
