CNN Expert, I love that!!! See, this is a personal attack, not a comment on anything I have ever said. This is the difference between me and you I think. I keep my comments to what someone actually says.
Once and for all, I do not work for CNN. It is only the page that opens when I start my computer.
And I am proud to call Akin a friend. So yes, I am guilty of being a complete supporter of the ideals of the Turkish Constitution.

Bekarlik sultanliktir...

Well since you publicly stated that M. Kemal Ataturk is not a national hero (because your American friends don't know who he is), its no wonder you are happy Vineyards won't be posting any longer. I can't even imagine how you feel he twisted your words. Your words are pretty twisted all by themselves without any help from others...

I wasn't comparing Ataturk to Jesus as people. My point is that on a Christian website, it is going to get the general public upset by criticizing Jesus. You will get the same reaction from Turks by criticizing Ataturk. His powerful legacy is the reason behind the massive demonstations this summer.

But don't forget one significant point. The statement in her post is a crime in Turkey. I don't think the "owner" of this site keeps this site going only to get it banned from Turkish internet providers. I know that sound extreme, but this is true.

I guess I'm a bit naive then. To me this site has always been more than a place just to learn turkish.

Again, this site is about promoting Turkey and she is a site administrator. Even her quote stating that the raeson Turks shouldn't get VISA's is because "they don't go home" might be a little inapropriate for a person in her position.
