Or to further elaborate. Time and time again has shown that economic issues without changing the social issues leads to a huge backlash and possible eventual regression, making such efforts a failed effort.
Turkey actually being a great example.
Afterall the elected officials are doing everything they can now to repeal the burqa ban, but are being stopped by unelected officials.
How much did it really change opinions in turkey?

TURKEY: Murders of Muslim women up 1400% since Erdogan took office
Posted: February 27, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: EnemyWithin-foreign | 24 Comments »
Significant women’s rights legislation has been passed in Turkey in recent years, but now that a radical Islamist is in charge, those rights are ignored and (‘honor’) abuse/killings of women by Muslim men is on the rise.
The Balance of power between the forces of radical Islam and Western democracy underwent a monumental sea change recently when 58% of the voters in Turkey approved of a referendum that will bolster the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and serve to transform the once secular nation into an Islamic republic.
This is bad news for the secularists since Erdogan in the past has attempted to dissolve all distinction between mosque and state. He instituted legislation that would make adultery a criminal offense and attempted to lift the ban on women wearing head coverings and burqas in the public universities. “This is a radical decision point for the future of Turkey,” said lawyer Baris Aslan. “This is the spot between the religious and the secular, between despotism or democracy.
Despite the fact that Turkey under the AKP strengthened its bonds to Iran and Syria and severed its ties to Israel, President Barack Obama has been supportive of the Erdogan regime, lauding what he called Turkey’s thriving democracy.

I don't see your point.
Outside dodging the fact that i'm right by trying to get me to bite on the bait that the US is supporting them.

My point: Their is a good reason why the unelected officials are trying to stop it;.. The ones who are elected have an radical view about the Islam and with Erdogan who has been in jail for hate speech and have worrying ideas about the Islam and the rest of the non-muslim world.. If you then use those kind of people to show me that people wants to end the burqa ban then you are not helping the idea that an non- burqa ban is a good thing...in contrary..
And their is no bait here atleast I was not trying to let you bite, my point is that USA (the government) supporting a person like him is rather a mistake than a good thing but if you did some research you would find that their are enough persons in the USA who are worried about witch way Turkey is following with Erdogan and his supporters..
