Could America’s push for Turkey’s acceptance in the European Union lead to a greater Islamic influence in the Union? Diana West, Washington Times columnist, discusses this weekend’s upcoming elections in Turkey, a nation whose recent secularization may be misleading as she asserts its tendency to “slide into default Islamic Shariah culture.” Diana rejoins Frank for a second segment to chime in on Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi’s study examining the advocacy of violence in American Mosques. Cliff Kincaid, President of America’s Survival, argues that associations in Secretary of Defense nominee Leon Panetta’s background should be examined, in light of his ties with Communist party member Hugh DeLacy. Bill Gertz, author of “Inside the Ring” at The Washington Times, updates Frank on the Panetta hearings, outgoing Secretary Robert Gates, and the possibility of a “reclama” to resuscitate the best jet in the world, the F-22 in the defense budget.
