Note: The bearded fellow on the right represents Turkish Muslim fundamentalism with which the ruling Turkish political party (the AKP) is generally associated now (in August 2003). The three gents at left represent different secular segments of the Turkish population who are trying desperately to believe that 'the leopard has changed its spots'.
The first gent at left says:
In my opinion, he's not tricking us with takiye. The second gent says: No no... his political philosophy is just a little right of center.
The third gent says: In my opinion he's changed quite a lot...He's become democratic...
The crafty Fundamentalist muses to himself: This is much more than I could have hoped for...
