Because they (Turks) are muslims.

No, it's something else. How about the muslims who live in EU countries? According to your rationale those would be send back home
Have a guess

Fine. But don't complain about Turkey's lack of willingness to play by EU "rules" when you have Brits doing same.

We're talking about the requirements for joining the EU in the first place here, not about the "unwillingness" of certain states to become fully integrated members. Being/not being muslim does not constitute a requirement - as far as I know.

If either of them ever gets in.

Will see about that. i think both will be.
They will, trust me. Be a little patient.
So what?

So why are they not in yet?
|
Greece was waiting for more than 15 years before they were allowed to join. We also had to wait for a further 3 years for economic unification - after everybody else who wanted to be part of it, became part of it.
No, they aren't.

But that doesn't prevent them from entering EU
|
Yeah, but we're not talking about one or two instances; Turkey used to systematically abuse human rights until recently.

What about US and how does US affect Turkish entry in EU?
|
It doesn't, it was just an example. But I think the US does engage in human rights abuses.

Are you aware that this process is going on for some 20 years? Lest we forget.

Really, 20 years seems fair enough to me
To sum up with, I don't believe being Muslim has anything to do with it.
