Bernard Lewis asserted last November or December at a talk in Jerusalem that Iran and Turkey might be switching positions. Iran would become the secular democracy and Turkey the Islamic republic.

I’d take that bet whatever the odds. I’ll give him 10,000:1 against if he bets at least 10k, even. And not just because I’ve never known anyone who’s actually predicted anything of importance, but also because I think he is spectacularly wrong.
