See how well you can see Sarah from your house, by taking our trivia quiz.
Why there could be a silver lining in a failed climate treaty.
AKP knows that it is in its interest to violate the secularism principle of the Constitution. Maybe that's why it has been relentlessly abusing people's faith. The more laws they break the more they become popular. Are the courts supposed to sit idle and watch this?
and by the way, may be you've wondered my opinion about this issue. I am none of them neither Secularist, nor Kemalist nor AKPist nor extremist nor anything else. :))
you entitle 'Secularim' as a religion. That's seems odd and unbelievable. Any religion does NOT require anybody to adhere itself. Also, as far as I know, religion is something that orders DOs or DON'T DOs to people, to NOT GOVERNMENT and STATE. What we have to focus on honestly is that 'What symbolizes what, and What is the reason of fear of these people that are anxious about Secularism thing. As descendents of Ottoman Empire that lacks securalism, we SHOULD KNOW, UNDERSTAND and ANALYZE the state itself , its judicial institutions, its effects on science, art and technology. I do not force anybody about being an Secularist, Kemalist, AKPist or Islam-extremist. But it is the core issue that we cannot disregard or disfigure facts, history and conjuncture.
