That's a common criticism of these measures. Helps the extremists, helps Erdogan. But a country can't just tolerate anything for fear of that. 

Obviously I am coming from an American view point where freedom of religion has always been a given. Shutting down places of worship over concerns with radicalization is an overstep here unless they're engaged in terrorist activity.
