personally you have to leave religion out of geopolitics. When you allow a romanticised view of the world to decide political decisions, you will in most cases end up the loser.
Turkey is surrounded by many enemies, these include Greece, South Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, the Gulf states, Armenia, Russia, half of Libya. Turkey couldnt really afford to also go against Israel. It was a dumb move.
If regional muslim majority states operated under cold hard logic, they would have united long ago. You would have seen something similar to the european union. But it operates under emotion and short term regional vision.
