Turkey's New Far-Reaching Censorship Law

It also requires new sites to 'apply' to the government for permission to go online. Amazing the lengths some will go to squash anti-government sentiment."

    So long as there are arab governments. They know they are an abomination, satanic, and wrought with evil.

    This isn't a joke. The only way to redemption is through God's only son, Jesus Christ. Not allah or some fucking couscous.
