Blogger.com Banned In Turkey
petermp writes "A Turkish court has blocked access to the popular blog hosting service Blogger (Blogger.com and Blogspot.com, owned by Google), since Friday, October 24th, 2008. According to BasBasBas.com, a Dutch blogger based in Istanbul, who alerted readers about the issue: 'It is suspected that the reason for this has something to do with Adnan Oktar, by some considered the leading Muslim advocate for creationism, who has in the past managed to get Wordpress, Google Groups, as well as Richard Dawkins' website [banned].'"
If you have followed events in Turkey this does not come as a surprise. Let's hope they will never be allowed to join the EU.
It's laughable that it would even be considered.
We'll be seeing the same thing happening in the United States after Barry Hussein O'bama is elected President
Hussein has already banned interviews with a TV station in Florida because the station's reporter had the gall to ask Joe "The Senator" Biden some tough questions.
Fata viam invenient.
You people have one of the most God awful governments in the world, you are one the world's chief violators of human rights, you are one of the world's largest polluters, and have the largest percentage of incarcertated people of any nation on the face of the earth and you go around try export your bullshit hypocritical values to other parts of the world. America critizing secular democratic like Turkey on human rights is fucking joke.
Not for being too religious. For being too muslim. The problem is that islam "demands" that the Turkish state be destroyed, violently "if necessary". That's what "no separation between islam and state" means. But also the violence being necessary part is quite explicitly emphasized in their "holy" book. Along with the misery that such an act will bring. After all, it's the "will of allah", right ? Can't have those homosexuals being alive, can we ?
The supreme court of Turkey is right, obviously, the first thing a muslim party (even the supposedly "moderate" one currently in power) would do is terminate all boundaries between religion and state, making turkey an islamist dictatorship, that doesn't respect human rights (no muslim respects human rights, see declaration of Cairo of human rights).
The sad thing, given the contemporary political situation, is that Iran is quite possibly the most democratic muslim state. And if it's not the most democratic muslim state, it won't be far down in the rankings.
You see muslim "democracies" commit genocide on minorities, for that is what islam demands. They publicly execute anyone suspected of being gay. They rape girls, even babies, for that is what islam demands ... They execute anyone for doubting them ... the list goes on and on
Isn't democracy grand ?
That's a laugh. America has one of the worst human rights records of any country.
