"The Pope did something courageous. Two camps oppose EU membership for Turkey, the culturalists and the institutionalists. The culturalists believe that Europe is an association of free peoples bound together by tradition and identity. Europe has borders to protect this and Christendom helps define those borders. In other words: Muslims don't belong in Europe. To the culturalists, the Siege of Vienna never ended. 1683 equals 2006. And EU accession is the newest incarnation of the long-standing Turkish desire to conquer Europe. The institutionalists believe Turkey can't join because the EU isn't ready for it."
