Right now when we look at things you are the one supporting the military so who is a more democratic person is obvious. I don't have hatred against kemalism or secularism, but i do indeed dislike the former kemalists and secularists who dumped our country and turned it into a garbage. As a Muslim i do indeed put my religion before the constitution, but that doesn't mean i don't respect the constitution (double negative makes one positive, for those who have hard time comprehending it), if i didn't i wouldn't study now i would instead probably end in prison for not following Denmark's constitution.
Also i have never said anything regarding islam and democracy cannot work. To your surprise i support democracy because it is in fact the current best system, since the majority decides their rulers. Lastly the true hateful people are those who cannot tolerate a democratically elected party and want to overthrow it since according to them they go against secular "principles". The military is obedient to its people not the other way around. It seems you don't have the simplest clue about what democracy entails.
I said that Islam and democracy don't work. I did.
I'm not a military fanboy, infact I would rather pay a few thousands instead of doing my military service. But our military is the safety officer of our democracy, cleaning the system from people that put the constitution before religion is just the first step with aim of theocracy.
Now lets put all that aside. But why, democracy loving Zulk, don't you answer one of my other posts instead of reacting to the provoking one? What is it that Erdogan has done in terms of democracy (for now we exclude the Ergenekon/generals in jail-thingy, because thats apparently pro-democracy for you), tell me what? Don't bail, just answer the question.
Question to all out there: Do we have a better democracy now after a decade of AKP?
You guys are really something. You talk about democracy and support a military who time and again tried to overthrow a democratically elected government. Sorry folks but we aint in the 60'ies any more.
On the contarary , removing military scum who believe they should run the country as they think best, rather than an elected goverment by the people to express the views of the people. Dictators deserve the bullet.
I could now start and tell you about all the bad stuff that's happening in Nigeria or SE Asia or how the Arab spring will lead to less freedom for their own people but that would completely derail this thread.
Erdogan is acting more in the interest of the west than many like to acknowledge, I cant believe how people can claim that our previous governments acted in the interest of the west (including the west), when Erdogan is doing exactly the same.
My questions still stands: Did the AKP improve our democracy, yes/no?
You can give 100 examples from Nigeria to SE Asia & i can give you 100 examples from eastern, western, Balkan Europe and from North & South America. And can discuss in length the so called Arab spring too. And you rightly said that we should stick on the subject and should not derail.
Now coming to the point of Erdogan & AKP and democracy. In my neutral view and observation of Turkish affairs i would say, yes they improved democratic standard of Turkish Republic ( you can ask this question on the grave of Adnan Menderes if you like). The other question that arises with the definition of democracy, may be you are inspired by the modern definition of western democracy of easy sexuality and low morality.
Those instances you talk about, happened much more often during other offices. You have found a son of one AKP mp and then make it your case. We have seen much worse abuses. But there is no point in bringing them here. The overall indicators are better than what it was during the past.Well, i don't know from where he inspired but it is clear as day that you inspired by the backward definition of "democracy" of easy intervention of people's lifes and dictating beliefs on others. Or you may not be as good observer as you think... Because saying AKP improved democratic standarts of Turkey...
Wth is easy sexuality? Is it something about not regulating what womans wear? Or allowing people to spend their time with their loved ones?
And low morality? Because seeing womans as sex objects is morality at its best?
Each day, we're wittnessing anti-democratic applications of the state, and it is really not making sense for me to read an Indian talking about how great the democracy in Turkey is...
RIGHTS - Radio host rapped by RTÜK for criticizing officer
LOCAL - AKP MP
LOCAL - Controversial police chief gets promoted
Or Do you think Turkish people are so morally right because we're not as free as western democracies? Like we're not reading disgusting news almost each day on the papers... And the funny thing is, the source of those news are usually being more conservative cities in Turkey.
As always muslims doing what they do best removing any obstacle to turn the society they live in into islamic state (AKA shithole)
