The issue here is not CENSORSHIP.


What is it then? Government propaganda?

This is nothing to do with law and order.
I think critisism/slur to against Fazil Say coming from both directions:
1- Islamists
2-Open (/hidden) racists.
He critisised Turkish islamists by saying they are trying to capture the whole establishment. That is why they are angry.
Racists (including the hidden ones) are cross too..They cant understand him critisising Turkey's establishment to foreign media.
They think our national pride has been scarred again..Of course there is an assosication with Orhan Pamuk as well along the lines.
Unfortunately the whole thing is how we (turks) are in general.
Such a pity actually!!

You must decide...are we talking of general principles here, or some idiotic act by the Turkish Government?

FREEDOM TO CRITICIZE

"I have many "friends" that are Muslim... all of whom are extremely westernized ... that is until you start talking about religion. Oh sure, they will say "you have the freedom to say bad things about your government, society and even your religion... in Islam, we have the same freedoms... We are free to say all the bad things we want about YOUR government, society and religion we want."

Bu siirdeki huzne asina olmayanlar ne Anadolu insanini, ne Fazil Say'i, ne Turkiyedeki bugunku iktidari, ne de aradaki hesaplasmayi anlayabilirler...
--------------
2 Temmuz`da Yobaz Katliamı sonucu hayatını kaybeden o güzel canları büyük bir özlemle anıyorum....

METIN ALTIOK ANISINA - GORMEDIN

İşgal etti bu yobazlar yurdumu,
Din kolyesi takanları görmedin...
Madımak`ta bekler iken yardımı,
Buna, karşı çıkanları görmedin...

Kardeşliği arıyorken bu handa,
Taşlar yağdı üstümüze bir anda.
Pir Sultan`ın anıtını meydanda,
Ele alıp, yıkanları görmedin...

Dört kapıyı nerden bilsin cahiller.
Tut çerağı aşka yansın kandiller.
Cana kıymış bu Yezitler bu eller,
Kerbela`da bu kanları görmedin...

Amacımız gönülleri kırmadan,
Yaşamaktır hiç kimseye vurmadan.
İkiliğin çivisini durmadan,
Alnımıza çakanları görmedin...

Şeriatın yükselirken kolları,
Taş koydular kapadılar yolları.
Tipi insan içi hayvan kulları,
Aramıza sokanları görmedin...

Suçumuz bu; semah dönmek evrene,
Vahşetlerle karşılaştık her sene.
Bre soysuz bir bakıver çevrene,
Gül bağında dikenleri görmedin...

Bu katliam bu güruhun eseri,
Müslümanmış sözde bir kaç serseri.
Dört bir yandan kuşatmışlar her yeri,
Bizi orda yakanları görmedin...

Is anyone at all surprised that many Turkish nationalists can't handle any criticism? Is this really "news"? lol lol



Lisa, the man himself is a nationalist, for god's sake! It is not the nationalists attacking him



Alpha, some people feel they are above criticism. If you want to argue over symantics fine, my terminology may have been wrong....however.....my point is the same.....people who are weak in there own beliefs, get offended and feel threatened by criticism. People who have REAL faith and TRUELY feel they are on the right path DO NOT get shaken by criticism.
