Let's not delve into Turkish politics. There's a lot more going on there than religion, politically, at any rate. While I think Erdogan is an idiot, it's not like Turkey was a free state prior to his spiral into megalomania. Let's not forget the military coups and the overt discrimination against people openly identifying as religious. Secularism in Turkey has/had a much different meaning than it does in the states, or elsewhere.
Erdogan needs a 2x4 to the head and a sudden immersion in Arctic seawater.

I know it too well with regards to how they treat the Kurdish population today (and the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians slaughtered almost 100yrs ago). But the point remains that Turkey, known for being much less restrictive and arguably the most secular Muslim country in the Middle East, is now moving away from that towards a much more controlled and intolerant society.
How did a topic about a terror attack in Paris end up in a debate about Turkish-Kurdish politics?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Can't we all just take what Rodney King said to heart? "Can't we all just get along?"
It is unfortunate that there are still many people who can't get the basic concept of coexistence wraped around their brains. After all, isn't one of the teachings of most religions "love thy neighbor?"
While what happened in Paris is horrific and I feel for the families and friends that lost loved ones in the attack, I'm going to have to shut this thread down.
While yes, some politics are being discussed now which is already against the rules, it will just go further downhill and I don't want to have to give out warnings.

Well said.
It would seem the thread has been highjacked by terrorist trolls.

I see what you did there.
Nah, what happened was our local brilliant sociopath, Nabreeki.
Not necessarily a bad thing. And definitely not terrorists or trolls; Nabreeki's only been a tiny bit of a jerk so far.
