The recent referendum on the possibility of building of minarets was won by the object to this idea. The Swiss and European politicians are now worried about this event and tried to minimize it. This behavior shows their separateness from the common feeling they belong to another reality. A public administrator and a fortiori a European politician should always know what they talk about having the good sense to gather information, for example, I recall that the European flag has its origin, which reads: "The choice of flag at the Council of Europe had a long and complex process that lasted several years (between 1950 and 1955 saw an override of the sketches submitted by the designer French Catholic Arsene Heitz, who then tied 's idea of \u200b\u200bthe stars of the image of Our Lady of the twelfth chapter of his' Revelation : "In the sky appeared a great sign: a Women clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars. " remember what are the reasons of our being and helps them make rational judgments. This first fact is added to a survey published on 21/11/2009 in Italy and 43% of respondents expressed opposition to Turkish membership in Europe compared with 31.9 who has said there is a clear favorevole.Insomma disconnect between the voters and certainly some of the elect. The argument was long at the expense of Professor Roberto DeMattei professor of modern history and the history of Christianity. For this scholar Turkey is an Asian peninsula, whose territory includes almost exclusively Anatolia, with the exception of a small appendix in Europe, Eastern Thrace about 25 thousand square kilometers. So we can speak of a great Asian Turkey and a small European Turkey, but more important is that of geographical history. Historically, Turkey has never been part of Europe. Certainly Tarsus was the birthplace of St. Paul at Antioch was built one of the first Christian communities under the guidance St. Peter's, died at Ephesus the Virgin Mary and St. John lived for many years, the first ecumenical councils were held in modern Turkey, but with the fall of Constantinople, Turkey has moved in contrast with Europe. The European monarchies have defined their identity by rejecting the aggression of the Ottoman Empire, although there was still no institution called the European Union. However, from Charlemagne, was born a European civilization, characterized by the presence of many different nations, but united by the same religion, a vision of the world, by the same law. Even when it developed the Protestant schism, Europe remains Christian. Venice was an outpost of European civilization in the East, Vienna, besieged by the Turks in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and Budapest have also been two major political and cultural references of Christian Europe. What has characterized European civilization is the distinction between the two spheres, the religious and the political. The Islamic doctrine has never known the distinction between the two spheres: the Ottoman Empire was a power in both politics and religion. The Ottoman expansion was political, with clear political objectives, and religious at the same time, given the intimate connection that exists within Islam between the two spheres. For the Islamic expansion in Europe is increasingly was seen as a religious war against the West. The concept of evolution of Turkey Professor De Mattei suggests that it is an evolution in the sign of a gradual estrangement from the West Country. The reason is simple says, the Turkey of today is no longer that of Ataturk, the secular or secularist, who was born in the twenties of the twentieth century. Certainly for some decades Turkey was an Islamic country, yet secular and nationalist, entered the NATO and was a bastion for the West. But starting from the eighties in Turkey has begun a process of Islamization that is innervated throughout his public life. The Turkey of today is one of the Member where you build as many mosques, about 85 thousand today. It 's a new Turkey, led by a neo-Islamic dell''ex mayor of Istanbul, Erdogan was imprisoned for ten months in 1998 because of his fundamentalism. For Professor De Mattei then the most effective way is to establish partnership relations with the countries closer to Europe. And 'better a Turkey outside the EU, but with it in friendly relations: the transition from Turkey's pro-Western and Islamist is happening more slowly than the Iranian revolution, Khomeini and is covered by a blanket of hypocrisy. And 'this passage that the European negotiators today's refuse to see: the "party of the film" Turkey has about 75 million people, intended to reach 90 in fifteen years, then become the first country in the EU and also in the parliamentary seats in the committee. Also should not forget the strong Turkish minorities in various Western countries. Again: the gravitational pull on Muslims in general, the granting of dual citizenship to the Turkic Republics of the Caucasus. At the time of the elections to the European Parliament, a block party transnational turkish-Muslim could become the first European party, with all the institutional implications of the case. Finally, it is the thought of Benedict XVI recalled that on two occasions, when he was still Cardinal only in August (Figaro in an interview with ) and September 17, 2004 in Velletri was expressed in an articulate against Turkey joining the EU. At Velletri spoke of "big mistake" and an input "unhistorical".
