The police requested water reinforcement for the cannons from the Antalya Municipality, which is owned by the CHP, and they refused. The same happent in Izmir, which is also considered the stronghold of the CHP.

I see, thank you.

Good on them for not helping the police, someone must take a stand.

Typo or a far different relationship than first thought?

You decide.

EDIT : I didn't actually make the album.

EDIT 2 : Could someone tell me if this is genuine http://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments ... arth_from/

No, but see, heartwarming things that aren't endorsed by the American government are baaaaaad for the order of the Western World and for democracy.

They're wrong.

But the US condemned Edogan for the behaviour of the police.

May be the reason Hippo hasn't been seen anymore in this thread.

Oh, that's Obama.

Only Republican governments count.

Or maybe he's just offline for a while, taking a break from his 'What America is and why everything should be like it from a Finns perspective' crusade.

Entirely possible.

Entirely possible.

Not even a typical Finn's perspective, while we're at that. Just a typical Hippo's.

I'm really digging the old lady in the hijab and her husband in the ataturk hat. Coexistance, bitches!

[Kemalist]

Some protesters took refuge in a mosque after clashing with the police, and a picture shows that they drank beer inside which pissed the religious off. They are using it to discredit us.

That's not a hijab, but a traditional cloth, mostly worn by old women not on religious grounds.

While it might have not been the most tact of behaviors, it certainly seems like they're grasping at straws over there when it comes to discrediting the movement.

Discredit? As if that would work against people who believe in your nations founding ideals who seem to be the majority.

Ah. In that case I need to revise my number of hijabs spotted in Turkey significantly downward. So if you see an old lady in Turkey, assume it's a traditional cloth and not a lazily tied hijab?

It's not like the religious have a problem with secularism, but there should be some kind of mutual respect toward each other. Mosque is a sacred place for many people here and they could act more carefully.

Surely; most of the religious will not support us anyway; but no need to fan the hatred.

Not a nice thing to do. It's like putting your feet on someone's couch while visiting his home.

Some old women in Southern Italy use it, too. It's a Mediterranean thing.

Not quite. Old ladies in Lithuania wear it all the time.
