Abstract

Christian Democrats in the European Parliament have an obsessive religious mindset that shapes their antagonistic political stance against a Muslim-majority country such as Turkey. These "Christianists" are referred to by some as the "hard-right Christianist crusaders". This mindset is analogous with the term "Islamism" created in Western public and academic contexts. Manfred Weber, the European Peoples Party's (EPP) lead candidate for the upcoming European elections, said he would end accession talks with Turkey if he becomes European Commission president. His reasoning for this is mentioned in Kati Piri's statement: "Turkey is a Muslim country". Turkey has a well-established experience of parliamentary democracy that traces its roots back to 1877.
