Turkey is supposed to be a secular "bridge" to the Middle East and close ally of the United States. But as Turkish voters head to the polls this weekend, there's increasing tension about the role of Islam in this evolving society. We'll look at that issue as well as a poll that shows only nine percent of Turks have positive attitudes toward the U.S.
