Quoting mltm: Yes, I agree that we lack a lot of knowledge about muslim countries, we consider most of them equal to İran, and see all the muslims equal to talibans.
And we including the turks are prejudiced against especially the arabs. We consider all of the arabs as a one nation. We look down upon them and refuse to learn more about them. All of my turkish friends made fun of me when I told them I was going out with an arab.
I have noticed this lack of knowledge in me and lately I have started to be more interested in these countries and people. That doesn't mean that I admire their unseculiar regimes, but there are other things to admire. |
I agree with that too.
I've noticed it.
There is one thing i must point it too,there is difference between Egyptians and Arabs.
Egyptians are not Arabs,Arabs are the people who lived original in deserts.
Egyptians were always here,beside our Nile

A photoshop pro could have done a much more better job.
Do you cordially expect people on here to believe such a make-believe illusion. It is very evident how amateur with photoshop whoever has done it is as s/he is quite bad at using the masking and rendering properties of the photoshop.
S/he is not only an amateur but also too silly to grasp the simple fact that cash desks (or anything else) are numbered from left to right in a consecutive order.
Additionally, the numbers are printed on cash desks windows which are at eye level.
And also, who took this picture and when and where did s/he take it? S/he isn't the only person who pays his/her bills at İSKİ cash desks.

I think the picture is real. The numbering is understandable.
It says:
women's desk 1
women's desk 2
men's desk 1
men's desk 2

I should think that they wouldn't mix the lines, but they do. First women, than men, than women and men again. If they are so strict, why this?

Regardless of the outcome and our beliefs I hope we can all agree that we don't wish this to turn into violence.

I don't think so. They announced that they will not vote for President again until after General Elections.

I just want to say that I feel very proud of Turkish people who had the brains and guts to stand up against corruption and political manipulation. If only the Americans and other nations had the guts to do the same thing, god, we would have a so much better world.
