The National Security Council, which is made up of top generals and political leaders, discussed the topic in a Dec. 28 meeting to push Parliament on measures to curb the rise of political Islam -- perceived as one of the greatest threats to the officially secular nation, the Hurriyet newspaper reported Thursday. The measures, such as controlling activities of Islamic businesses suspected of funding Islamic groups and imposing new bans on Islamic schooling, are likely to increase tension between the secular establishment and Islamic circles. "We are on the verge of implementation of practices that could lead to polarization," Ali Yasar Saribay, a political analyst at the Uludag University, told private NTV television. "Adopting tough measures would not serve to the good of democracy." Most Security Council decisions are not announced and officials were not available to comment. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, leader of the pro-Islamic Justice and Development Party, criticized the measures Thursday. "Avoiding practices that harm social peace is extremely important for the country's future," Erdogan told members of Parliament. While most Turks are Muslims, the government is staunchly secular and has striven for years to reduce the clout of Islamic political groups. The powerful military pressured the government to close down religious secondary schools and Koranic courses in 1998, one year after the army forced an Islamic government out of power.
