This isn't going to end well. Next they'll ban all non islamic religions.
Yep.. That's what radical Muslims do.
@Captain_Feelgood Radical anything does that
@Lorajay Not puppies... you never see radical puppies do it.. They love everybody..
One problem here for centuries is the terms "church" and "mosque." These are only buildings. Even in the NT when Paul talked of "the church at Ephesus" he was talking of the people who made up this church. Today we have degenerated into it being a building again. No wonder we have all things religious into all things wrong.
Every major religion thinks theirs is the only one that is the true religion, sort of what Carlin said, my religion has the biggest dick, and they start to fight to see who has the biggest dick, when in reality they are all dickless hypocrites.
Well said!
Sad...Erdogan is reversing all the progression and secularism Attaturk put in place when he founded the modern secular Turkish State in 1935. It is regressive and backward...and extremely regrettable for humanity.
To answer your question about when will we stop fighting about such things, the answer is simple: not for as long as the catastrophically mentally deficient remain in positions of power. See also the absurdity of the "Immovable Ladder" at [en.wikipedia.org] .
As long as we are seeking and electing Conmen and charismatic liars we will not stop violence and being led around by our noses
There are no moderate Islamists, so said the Islamic dictator of Turkey!!!
Erdogon has built a Caliphate out of once proud Secular country!!!
Erdogon has forced Sharia law upon Turkey where even as an Islamist you have limited rights!!
Islam and Christianity are Jewish fan fiction.
jewish heresies that became popular
Current politics from a friend of trump
Erdogan is real buddy-buddy with Putin. tRump does what ever Putin says, when he can. The Turks were recently testing the capibilities of their top of the lune Russian surface to air missiles against their own NATO planes. The US defense department has so far not allowed Turkey to buy the F35 though.
Pope francis very "distressed:" [theguardian.com] I would think he'd be very distressed by other things such as the patriarchy of the church.
Bring back Atatürk.
No resurrecting him...but his policies do need resurrecting!
Make the isthmus an international zone governed by an international body.
It isn’t silly to the devout! Just glad I am not one of them! If it isn’t a building, it’s a piece of land...life be-damned if you are on the wrong side of your society?
It's a building, wreaking balls and bulldozers might be fun.
No it wouldn’t...that is cultural vandalism. When it was turned into a museum that was the correct thing to do with it...this is regressive and very regrettable, but is not unexpected with Ergodan. The building itself is too historically and culturally significant to destroy.
@Marionvile it was actually meant in sarcasm, I see no reason to destroy just for destructions sake, it is disappointing that they could not live by the original 1930's agreement. It makes a very good museum.
Yes, we need to promote peace and understanding between the major faiths. This is why I often publish materials like this widely - promote love between groups! They all LOVE it!
Basically it is just wilful ignorance, silly maybe, dangerous yes, do they care, probably not
