The numbers are far too large to dismiss as mobsters. You are a politcal/religious racist - anyone who doesn't fit the right colour of religion, you despise. There is no possible mechanism for some mysterious conspirator to galvanise tens of thousands of people for this protest. And it's utterly ridiculous that anyone would chose the cutting down of some trees as the issue to start a rebellion.جوري;1587830 said:The govt. has every right to intervene to to protect its citizens from mobsters
It's a bizarre protest all right, but it is genuine enough. This is a case where truth is stranger than fiction. Disappointingly, Erdogan has taken the Mubarack/Assad/Gaddafi route and blamed 'foreign' influences. But it's not clear he is referring to the west (if he's referring to anyone real at all). His main enemies are other Muslims.
Yes it does and it is to be admired as a proper functioning parliament that is rare in the Muslim world. That's why it's worrying that Erdogan wants to emasculate it and set himself up as President. In the exact reversal of an ideal Islamic leader (who doesn't look for power but is asked to take it) Erdogan is changing the constitution for the sole purpose of prolonging his own, personal power. The company that is to develop and profit from Taksim Square has links to the AKP.جوري;1587830 said:Turkey has a parliament
I'd like to think that most people don't realise that here she is referring to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which ranks alongside Mein Kampf as one the most evil books in history - and which was indeed a particular favourite of Adolf himself. He got some of his best ideas from reading it.جوري;1587830 said:a stupid ploy not unlike those mentioned in the protocols
The Protocols was long ago exposed as a childish fraud - that of a child of the Devil. It claims to be a record of a conference of evil Jews in the early 20th century. In fact it is blatantly plagiarised from other books including one written many decades earlier. It is absolutely impossible for it to be what it says it is. This book is practically the definition of anti semiticism. Unbelievable that in 2013 we should still have to talk about this pathetic, vicious fraud that directly contributed to the gas chambers.
