Again Canli, you are missing the original point. We don't care how Islamic law effects peoples lives in other countries. If you are happy with it,i am happy for you.
But here in Turkey, the people have rejected it. And will continue to reject it it.
The voting in June will show this. Early elections is what the people wanted, and what the militray wanted.

You are right aslı, my last post stated as such.
And not arguing I hope. Sharing and explaining ideas.
Except for Quasi. I'm willling to pass a law banning him from istanbul...

We have gone off topic here.
New elections are coming in june. The people will speak. Turks will have their democracy.

What about my egyptian colleagues not being able to join me in certain hotel restaurants? Is this the islamic freedom you are speaking of?

I am not an expert at all on cairo.
But, here are a few of my observations.
I stay at Nile hilton and other hotels similar in that area. These hotels have bars and casinos. My egyptian colleagues are not allowed to join me. You must have a foreign passport to enter.
The only place I know where there are pubs is on the island where the consualtes are. So alcohol is not so freely available.
Segregated subways. Women in front only, no men.

I am not saying these are bad laws for cairo. but i donot wish to see them come to istanbul.

Nude beaches in Cairo? Did I miss soemthing?

Cairo lives under islamic law and is living the way most cities did 50 years ago.

Comparing Dubai to typical Arab cities is ridiculous. Lets look at damascus, tehran, bahgdad, cairo, these kinds of cities for comparison.
