Expatica - EU Constitution: for better or worse?

"....It is ironic that independent conservative MP Geert Wilders agrees with them. His main concern, though, is that the constitution will allow Turkey into the EU. The fact that the constitution doesn't do anything of the sort appears to be irrelevant.

Why doesn't he want Turkey in the EU? He could have pointed to the unresolved Kurdish conflict, the country's bad human rights record or the control the military has in the political sphere.

No. The central issue for Wilders and his supporters is that the majority of Turks are Muslim. As far as Wilders is concerned, no Muslims need apply."
