Rally for secularism

[jverne]

"Turkey is secular and will remain secular," flag-waving protesters shouted as they demanded the resignation of the government and called Erdogan a traitor.

The rally was the second anti-government demonstration in two weeks after around 300,000 people gathered in the capital, Ankara, a fortnight ago.

"Neither Sharia, nor coup but fully democratic Turkey,"

"We don't want a covered woman in Ataturk's presidential palace,"

It's nice to see sane people in the middle east rising up against religion.
The Turkish way should be an example for other countries down there.

Turkey is and will remain and exception.
All the other Countrys won't change regardless of what Turkey does.

I guess not. But it's still nice to see a "muslim" country not run by religious nutjobs.

It's also ironic to find an Islamic country that is less tolerant of Islam than the UK...the hell is this country playing at?
