Would you like Europe to have more Christian values/be more Christian. I remember you saying they should ban abortions in Europe. (could have been someone else).

No,it was me .Yes,i would like that.,I would not like money wasted for churches in a student campus though,especially not when Education,R&D are so under bugeted these days.It's like the last thing people in universities should be thinking about.

Majority of Turkey itself is secular!?!

 

[kakathiya]

How many pagans r there in turkey? Sounds like another liberal secular mental gymnastics of anti-muslim bigots , who have a problem with anything Islam.

bangladeshi mosquito, u lick the *** of pagans for food, no need of your advice you jamathi terrorists

Damn,accepting Turkey in the EU would have helped these guys so much in their struggle.Ofcourse the EU actually backed Erdogan in the early 2000's and now will let actual democratic Turks to fend for themselves against "the sultan".

Is this the liberal and secular EU? BS

thats how it feels like to you... if you were a pakistani you would call them liberal fascist/ liberal extremists... constantly criticizing religion/state/army.

Ottomans were "moderate" sufi muslims to begin with. The Arab Islam or "Wahaabism" was gifted to the word by the British crown. Wahaabism was made and supported to attack Ottomans, but now they have turned on their own creators.

Just saying...

in pakistan islam will always be favored... and it will be the business of the state because pakistan is not a secular country.

Pakistan isn't an Islamic country either; hence you see moderate parties like PML-N and PPP winning the elections, while Jamaatis and Tableeghis convert Veena Maliks to Islam. And btw, Jinnah was an Ismaili shia.

I second you... there is no need to WASTE money to make temples/mosques...rather the money should be used properly for betterment of education... world seems to be ignorant... same prob almost everywhere...

The students are right. If you are going to make a place of prayer for the Sunni. You will also need to make a place of prayer for other sects of Islam and also places of religion outside Islam otherwise it is not fair. They all pay tuition and tax so it is a fair demand. A thing called secularism was coined to prevent these kind of problems. There is already a lack of funds for education compared to Europe. If we are going to make a temple, mosque, synagogue and church on every campus there will be even less money for education.

What stupidity by retarded wanna be's?

If the university is 99% Muslim, then Mosque makes sense.

If university was like other western universities...where there is ALOT more diversity...then yes, all religious should have been represented.

Turkey's secular hippies are an embarrassment to that great country. No wonder AKP keeps DEMOLISHING opposition (Mashallah!)...

First of all how much do you know about Turkish Universities? 99% Muslim, yeah right...
Ok lets say 100% but still about 10-20% at max. are practising muslims hence still waste of money when there is allready a masjid in there.

And secondly read the point that is being made here before jumping in with foam in your mouth.

I'm guessing Turkish Unis emulate those around the world in having a sprawling campus around a city center and so a mosque being a minute or two away will always be available. That's pretty much the same in any Muslim majority nation.

Resources are always going to be invested in dumb arse ways by universities and especially the student union which are always filled with feckless, arrogant, and self righteous knobheads (if you can't tell I'm seething at mine here in the UK) who were only elected on the basis of their popularity (one guy elected in our SU election was only in the country for 3 months! not exactly a person I want making any decisions!).

If a place of religious worship is necessary though a multi faith center (like those in pretty much every proper airport) would probably be a better bet and much more cost effective than building different places for multiple religions.

Either way, it's stupid. Spend it on new labs, lecture theaters, computers, or even funding uni sports teams.

Thats our point in the last five pages but some people dont get it somehow.

Its nice to see that the Turks have a deeply entrenched sense of religious pluralism; I hope that more ethnic and linguistic pluralism would be embraced as well !
