On anti-democratic thought in contemporary Turkey: Sena Karasipahi (Yeditepe University), "Muslims in Modern Turkey: Kemalism, Modernism and the Revolt of the Islamic Instellectuals" (I.B. Tauris, January 2009).
Quote: "Modern Turkey is the site of a powerful Islamic revival, with a strong intellectual elite dedicated to the overthrow of secular modernism. ... 'Muslims in Modern Turkey' is the first book to analyse this phenomenon, tracing the evolution of Muslim intellectual thought from the 1980s to the present day. It focuses on six leading Muslim thinkers ... who ... act as public intellectuals, ... arguing not for the compatibility of Islam and European values but the fundamental superiority of Islam over secular democracy."
