It's not an irrelevant issue, look, I live in Turkey and I'm telling the truth, I will not be thirsty when earthquake budgets go to AKP children. The responsible of the earthquake is the political Islam Turkish government, which did not take precautions. We're hurting and you're trying to silence me. Those responsible for the earthquake will not go unpunished.

"Earthquake in Turkey"

"Political Islam still killing our people!"


The amount of reaching here is impressive. It's also not the first time (or the second, or the third) you've been told about this

I'm not sure if this counts as evidence, but I'm willing to take a risk.

In Turkey, there is extensive talk about the government levying a tax ("deprem vergisi", literally "earthquake tax") for use on earthquake precautions, which began after the 1999 Gölcük Earthquake. The current government—which is the "Political Islam" here—has often been accused of using the funds of this tax for other, unrelated projects, thus people accusing them of killing people by negligence.

The part about the conspiracy theories refers to HAARP, which for some reason has attracted the attention of Turkish conspiracy theorists, often sharing cloud constellations and U.S. Navy ships along with the idea that the United States is (somehow) causing earthquakes.

Separately, the Directorate of Religious Affairs (known as "Diyanet") has decreed that prayers will be read aloud from mosques across the country, including the affected provinces. The volume of these prayers is expected to hamper search-and-rescue efforts, since people using whistles or just yelling may be suppressed by the loudspeakers. This is perceived as a publicity stunt by the government, once again linking back to "Political Islam" killing people.

Therefore, while Hakinda has not articulated it well, it is not completely detached from the situation as much as it seems.

Thanks for the context.

Hakinda, you should really show the connection more clearly as opposed to assuming everyone is familiar with what you are talking about. I recommend expanding your explanation if you plan on continuing in that thread.

Yeah, without that context, its just yet another attempt to drag that topic in to it.

Cheers, Vistu.

That's exactly what I tried to say. Isn't my English understandable like that ?
