Religion and population could keep Turkey out of EU
If the current crop of new members is causing an identity crisis for old Europe, consider this. If Turkey joins the EU, there will be more mosque-going Muslims in Europe than church-attending Protestants. In a decade's time, Turkey's population will have outstripped Germany's.
And under a new population-based voting system, Turkey would have as many votes as Europe's smallest 18 countries combined in the Council of Ministers, the EU's most powerful institution.
