Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's prideful fall from grace with the Turkish people is almost biblical in its proportions. The speed of his demise is only enhanced by the fact that the religion, so called, about which he has been so chauvinistic, has clearly been proven to be on the wrong side of histoy and humanity.
