Turkey bans another writer ... Gobble Gobble!

Turkey is distancing itself further away from the EU. Writer Nedim Gürsel, who is accused of offending offending Islam, is being harrassed by Turkish judicial authorities. His last fiction novel 'Daughters of God' is not winning him many friends in Turkey. I ask myself, does the EU need a country that still has a long way to go to reach a lay government? I am not saying there is no religious problems in Europe, but I believe this is like being turning on the tap during a flood.
