Turkey, if anything, is a country with a split identity. It wants, to some extent, to become Westernized and European through NATO and the EU. On the other hand, there are traditionalists, social conservatives, and Islamic movements that want a Turkey under Islamic law and further away from the West.
Most Middle-Eastern countries actually seek modernity, but not Westernization. They want technology, varied economies outside of oil, and to have a strong presence in world politics, but don't want to adapt American or European cultures or values. The UAE (especially Dubai) is a perfect example of this. As I've heard from friends who've travelled, Lebanon is almost a splitting image of any Western European country.
What most Islamic countries are doing is trying to establish cultural unity and find a common identity among each other. They do this by turning back to Islam as a source of values, laws, and their way of life.
When the US and Europe comes marching into Afghanistan and Iraq and bringing Western ideals with them, this adds fuel to the Islamic parties and nationalists. While the US is inherently good-intentioned in wanting to rid the world of dictators such as Saddam or the Taliban, it's doing nothing to end the fact that most Muslim Arabs want Islamic rule, Islamic culture, and Islamic identity.
