There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”<BR/><BR/>http://www.thememriblog.org/turkey/blog_personal/en/2595.htm<BR/><BR/>The Islamists are begging the army to intervene. The president's wife wearing a headscarf is a symbolic victory. If the army doesn't stop that, Turkey is gone.Abandon Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817952603388886644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408835661469732810.post-90783478470705956232007-08-29T04:15:00.000-07:002007-08-29T04:15:00.000-07:00Dear Abandon Skip, there was an article in 'The Ag...Dear Abandon Skip, there was an article in 'The Age' about peculiar Turkey...<BR/><BR/>Pete: "This bloke came up to me and said he found an article in 'the Age". Dud: "Oh,yeah? Arsehole?"<BR/><BR/>Pete: "Yes if you are referring to his designation and assigned status as priori an 'Age' reader, that is a reader of the said 'Age' newspaper". Dud: "Oh sorry, a shitbag then". Pete: "Thankyou".<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the article particle seemed to show that secularism is pretty thin in Turkey, maybe even thinner than Peter Garrets hidden ladies vestments. <BR/><BR/>That the secular party in power even has a slogan along the lines of 'Democracy is a train we ride until we get to the station'. Ie: next stop Islamic Crazytown. I'll try and hunt it down. All the best colonelrobertneville.blogspot.comColonel Robert Nevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846514965728659622noreply@blogger.com
