Well they are burning every bridge with Europe. So they are becoming gradually more Arab. Turkey was once a very modern country. Now it is a corrupt dessert and a dictature so it's becoming pretty much an Arab country rapidly. Perhaps they will rebuild the Ottoman empire.

Going a bit far with that anti-Arab rhetoric don't you think?

A country can easily be a corrupt dictatorship without being Arab. Likewise, an Arab country doesn't stop being Arab if it's not a corrupt dictatorship...

At the moment most Arab countries are either a dictatorship or destroyed by the US and Russia. But a non corrupt and free Arab country could exist. The same way a free rich African country can exist. At this moment however both aren't in great supply. What I meant is Turkey is getting way closer to its eastern then western neighbours. Which are considered Arab or Middle Eastern. Before the cold war their where many free and rich Arab countries like Iran and Afghanistan. However in both cases that doesn't represent the current situation.
