book and a great panel. i want to ask about strangely enough islam. we really haven't heard all that much from any of you about the specifically religious islamic aspect of either erdogan program going forward, his appeal to voters, what effect that has on foreign policy and i guess my conclusion from what you've been saying is that after 15 years in power erdogan and the akp have not managed to further islamized turkish society and politics. is that a correct conclusion: what else can you say about what specific aspects of islamic issues might come up in the future? >> implications of having no friends. islam in turkey and lastly, just for the record, is this the last election erdogan wins or do you expect them to win again when he comes up for election in 2019? >> were going to market in the history books. [laughter] >> i can take the last question on islam. he managed to islamized society but he hasn't really, he hasn't tried to islamized the state. that's why, especially, i always argue that turkish islam is somewhat different than middle eastern islam is a in the region of other

would become in his vision, islamic politically that is. religious and middle eastern. and conservative. and that is the method that i think erdogan is checkbook but erdogan has a problem. he has a democratic mandate or should say he had one until sunday. his widespread consensus that the election process was not there. and there is emerging consensus that where there were irregularities the day of the voting. we do not know about the irregularities but that is where the problem is because erdogan suggested to move forward. he said that we are not going back so he has a mandated question for half of the country that does not support him. and that only exacerbates turkey's deep societal polarization. and it does not alleviate it in exacerbates it, the divide. turkey split and in the middle. turkey as you know, in the surmising some of my friends and former students from the state department. we discussed this many times. it is a very complicated country. the political ethnic religious and social groups. and erdogan is difficult that he will impose his vision on the country.

that out -- our western values of human rights are incompatible with the religion of islam. it is an ideology that is a perversion of islam and a perversion of the truth. defeating this ideology is one of the great challenges of our time, but it cannot be defeated through military intervention alone. it will not be defeated by the maintenance of a permanent, defensive counterterrorism operation, however skilled with leaders and practitioners. it will only be defeated when we turn people's minds away from this violence and make them understand that our values, totish values, are superior anything offered by the preachers and supporters of hate. host: this morning from 10 downing street and charlie ries, the headline -- attack on london , your thoughts on what she had to say? guest: i think she did a good job. i think the meeting with her emergency action committee, which is called the cobra committee, and stepping out on downing street and lay now, we will not put up with this anymore, is a way of channeling her inner margaret thatcher and recalling great, tough prime minister's in br

youngsters. it also means extending the ideology that is a sectarian version of islam. in short, we have to work together at the local level, at the national level, in cyber, in real life, and across of course across the border. the question is often posed to me as national courted for security and counterterrorism these days is, why -- not hit by any attack? intelligence and police service or effective? or your local community programs as successful tax ladies and gentlemen, yes, they are. but the terrorist threat facing the netherlands resembles the threats facing the rest of western europe. the chance of an attack in the netherlands is real, as real as in any other country in western europe. and that is why we set our threat level as the essential, four out of five. five is critical which means an attack is immediate. to say we are the most effective instrument, the smartest people are the best intelligence and, therefore, we escape an attack would be close to a pact with the devil. i would like to emphasize, an attack in the netherlands come since it is happen in the countries r
