    Turkey under Erdogen has been moving more Islamist every day. If the people pulling the coup are indeed secularists that want to push Turkey back in a secular democracy direction this is a good thing.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
