Turkish university students demand Jedi, Buddhist temples amid mosque frenzy

[ghoul]

Offcourse, there should be more investment in education, science, computer labs, science labs, in general student body, research and so on.

This should be done throughout Turkey.

But what a retarded way to show this important point by having a petition to open "Buddhist" center or Jedi temple whatever.

I know enough about Turkey to know that idiot, hippy like secularists are absolute minority in Turkey and there ways have caused the Muslim majority of Turkey to take things into their own hands and guide the political and public policy of the nation.

Wasn't one Turkish prime-minister was toppled because he said Azan (call to prayer) can be made in Public in Arabic (A tradition of Islamic World since the dawn of Islam. Followed throughout Islamic World globally)...

Secularists are a folk of petty issues and no vision.

In order to make a good point, you don't need to be sarcastic. They should have started the petition and asking for more funding for research/labs/students instead of mosque and should have gave solid reasons as to why mosque isn't necessary.

But oh, the idiot ultra-seculars from elite of Turkey do what they always do. Embarrass themselves and have the world laughing at them...

If secularists are so bad, why are you in the US? I mean, secularism is a bad way of life according to your beliefs, and USA sounds like a pretty secular country to me, so why go there? Hypocrites such as yourself bring a bad name to all of us.

still we Cossacks rulz whether caucusus or ww2 or chechnya. You only droolz.

What's with the Indian flag? And Cossacks seem to be the descendants of Scythians to me. I wonder if there's a well established link.

Are you stupid?

I said "TURKISH" secularists are bad because of their behavior. Who told you that I believe that secularism is bad way of life? Stop acting like a little child and pulling out your strawman arguments.

I hate MQM of Pakistan. They claim to be seculars. But do I hate them because of their secularity? No. I hate them because of ....even you know why!!!

European armies were trying to take away the soviets a time ago
German nazis tried
Napoleon the most powerful army made mistake to attack Russia

Wonder how well Russia can defend it's Eastern front.

Everone who prefers that state and religion should be separated from eachother is secular, in that sense, secularists are absolute majority in Turkey, i think you meant liberals.
By the way gotta love your passive mullah attitude by separating Muslims and Seculars...

I am no Mullah.

Myself pretty liberal. Always voted as center-left.

But I call as it is. A lot of Turkish so-called liberals/secularists have a petty vision--where if they don't get all they want, they create trouble.

Understand...I'm using the word secular-ists, not seculars. There's a difference.

Hint: Britian is a secular country. France is a secularist country.

Britain is more open, tolerant, and happy where minorities are treated relatively fairly.

France....mmm...lets not talk about it.

Turkey had a Turbulent past where all religions got surpressed, Armenian Churches became state property, left and right fraction clashes were daily business etc. we know it and noone is really proud of it but we live in today a new generation grown since then, what does that have anything to do with this?

lol, who are you fooling here bruh?

Lets be honest: Minority of ultra secularists type persecuted majority of Turkeys and looked down upon Islam and Muslims in general. They kept Turkey a broken, shitty state...and only cared about themselves.

Honorable Turks took their nation back and put it back on track (Say hello to AKP, Erdogan, and Muslim Middle-Class of Turkey)...

May Allah keep Turkey on this path and make it a better Muslim country..role model for all..instead of a sh!t hole under ultra-secularist, corrupt minority that let Turkey down in past.

...

Why does it bother you so much that they choose this way to protest against waste of money? Is it somehow your business?

Doesn't bother me. Just stating my opinion on an issue...just like we all do here on this forum.

Oh ok my bad then.

No problem mate

dudayev and his militias did have tanks,artillery and apcs and even a RSD-10 Pioneer (NATO calls it saber ICBM) they captured from the soviet arsenal in 1991-92 before the 1994 war started. But then most of it was destroyed in first chechen war itself.



still we Cossacks rulz whether caucusus or ww2 or chechnya. You only droolz.

Chechens and Circassians are returning though. They are superb fighters. All they need is a strong leader so they don't infight and they need air support.

This time we will convert them to christianity then for sure .Hopefully ,kavkazian apostates don't run away again.

Christianity,and especially Orthodox Christianity isn't brought at gunpoint.Is bad enough that medieval lonatics did it,we don't want genocidal Russians with satanic flags tarnish our religion even more.Do you think Jesus wants retards with skeleton flags fighting in His name ? Stop making a mockery out of my religion.

What kidding? You seem to be ignorat about history of Turkey, Muslims, Christians, Alevis, Kurds, Leftists, Communists etc. all got suppressed stop making it a anti-muslim only thing, all religious symbols were forbidden in state institutions.

France....mmm...lets not talk about it.

I think the word you are looking for is laicite...
There is nothing wrong with freedom in France and about tolerance, i wanna see how tolerant you are when Christian immigrants would do the same things in your country.

Honorable Turks took their nation back and put it back on track (Say hello to AKP, Erdogan, and Muslim Middle-Class of Turkey)...

The founding father of Turkeys economic success is Kemal Dervis who made many reforms after the huge 2001 economic crisis, he was a secularist as you would say and joined CHP for a couple years.
The only thing AKP had to do is bringing political stability to make a economic growth possible.

May Allah keep Turkey on this path and make it a better Muslim country..role model for all..instead of a sh!t hole under ultra-secularist, corrupt minority that let Turkey down in past.

Watch your language and stop calling my country a shit hole, that shit hole of back then was still more advanced than 90% of muslim countries today, Turkey was 18th place in size of GDP in 80s and guess what, it fell down to 18th place again this year, Turkey always had phases of growth which eventually stopped again because of turbulent events.

Stop teaching me about my own country with your stupid AKP propaganda from Facebook.

it is not only medieval . in the XIX century it was still existing.
i don't blame christians. muslims did the same .
hey if you don't know the book i suggest you "segou" by marries condé. in Africa it shows how religions wanted to enslave people and force them to convert. destroying the cultural identity.

and if most european catholics are very modern , and not fanatics,
it is not the same for the evangelists and worst some sects . evangelists are much active in countries to manipulate people. i see even there in France they try to integrate the mentally disabled people to enter. sick people.

Evanghelists try to do it to other Christians to.They've swarmed Romania after 1990,with limited results.I still see them every now and than with pamflets, crawling down the streets and disturbing people.

I still remember one,many years ago ,when i was child,telling my father that he isn't a real Christian....Personally,i would have laughed him away but my father isn't the educated,church going ,forgiving type,so it ended kind of "nasty".I was upset because the money went to the Police fine instead of my toys.

Why people like you....are always happens to be ignorant ???

Turkey earned attention as an economic success story after its economy expanded by 7.2 percent annually between 2002 and 2006, while other emerging markets averaged 6.9 percent. However, from 2007 to 2012, Turkish growth dropped to 3.5 percent, even as other emerging markets maintained an average growth rate of 6 percent.

This is the GDP growth of Turkey from the beginning of the republic.

Not only other governments performed better than AKP....It's the Ataturk's rule, right after our country has been destroyed and we lost 1/3 of our entire population yet he managed the achieve Republic's best growth rate.

Erdoğan is good at some fronts but he is far from being the Turkey's best leader ever. People who are obsessed with religion will never achieve such a feat.

AKPs performance in Economics isnt bad but nothing special either looking back at the historic growth rates, what they did different is bringing political stability, not to mention the huge amount of privatization and support from EU with the negotiation reforms.
These charts might open some peoples eyes (not sure though) who think AKP made somehow a miracle.
One thing nobody can deny is the big investments in infrastructure though.
