Britain named as one of Europe's crime hotspots
· Survey finds highest rate of burglary in the EU
· Assaults and hate crime also near top of league

Britain has the highest rate of burglary in the European Union and is also nearly top of the league for assaults and hate crime, according to a recent survey.
The EU crime and safety survey names the UK as a "high crime country" and says the risk of becoming a victim of the 10 most common crimes is, with the exception of Ireland, the highest across the European Union.

London also emerges as the "crime capital of Europe" with the likelihood of becoming a victim - mostly of a range of petty crimes - said to be higher than all other EU capitals and even higher than cities such as Istanbul and New York. (The Guardian)

Great thread ! Too bad we foreigners cannot be of help!

The Sehitlik mosque is a stunning example of Islamic architecture, complete with marble façade, dome, and twin minarets. No one can claim that it disturbs the cityscape, as it's far enough removed from built-up areas, on land that has been linked to Turkey for 140 years, since the Ottomans were present in Prussia.

Aziz Nesin Foundation, Çatalca
In 1972 the Aziz Nesin Foundation was brought into being by the atheist Turkish writer Aziz Nesin in order to enable children in need of to get a proper personal and professional education.

At this point of time the foundation, which has its headquarters in Çatalca, Istanbul, takes care of 34 children; the younger ones living on the site of the Foundation visiting public schools, while while the older ones live in apartments rented by the Foundation, and study at the University. The principles of education were explained by Aziz Nesin in his book The fear of fear. The focal point is that every human being should be able to take responsibility for her-/himself and that freedom is the basic precondition to achieve this goal. It is planned to establish a elementary school by the Foundation, and besides, a Museum is envisioned to take care of Aziz Nesin's life's work. At this time the foundation is by and by publishing the posthumous work of Aziz Nesin. The money that comes out of his printed work is, by the way, covering most of the costs of the Foundation.
