This has been going on for some time and I’m glad to see some coverage on it outside of Turkey…

“God is Great!”

Wonderful report, however, having spend quite a few months in Turkey very recently, WorldFocus may wish to explore the nexus of present U.S. policies that support the AKP and Gulen (Mr. Gulen has resided illegally in the northeastern U.S. with the full knowledge and consent of U.S. authorities)?

The Turkish people are being manipulated internally and externally — all the while, human rights and many other concerns go wanting.

This not a conspiracy theory, this is actual cooperation (Government-to-Government) predicated on military/industrial considerations. There are those in the U.S. and Europe that would like to make this a Islam versus us argument, which is misleading and adopting the propaganda that some U.S. and European government officials make. It is NOT! This is about money, dominion over resources, and the Turks triangulating their geographical proximity to maximize internal Turkish interests, whether it be Dogan, Sabanci, Koc, and a sundry list of other corrupt “secularits.”

I am just looking at this web site for the 1st time, after developing respect for the WorldFocus journalism program on our (US) public television network. I very much value the efforts to show the *people* of every situation we see only briefly in our normal television and newspaper media.

Bravo to World Focus, and also the comments on Turkey, of course. I have spent time in Turkiye, and have friends there and “here” also. I remember the days of young people my age (at the time) celebrating the “modern” country and freedoms.

I value hearing from those there now, and the comments are intelligent and respectful which makes this a very valuable online resource, in my opinion. (I will encourage people to see this site!) Yes, Benny Chua… headaches, poverty, religion, and death… universal challenges.

Well thanks for the program. So, REPUBLIC OF TURKIYE population over 70 million people, full blood ISLAM, but recover with the DEMOCRASY.We beleive our BELEOVED HERO MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK feeling about TURKEY. We follow him. Relegion is another part of the living standats. As a matter of fact AKP party very close to the ISLAMIC rules
but doesnt make any difference, about changing DEMOCRASY in TURKİYE. TURKIYE never become as an
ISLAMIC RULES POWERED COUNTRY LIKE IRAN OR SAUDIA ARABIA.

I was In Turkey for over one year about 35 years ago and travelled extensively throughout the country and, except for the primtive far SE, I never saw women wearing the Burka and even there rarely. Something BIG is going on in Turkey that could eventually pose a major threat to Europe particularly to those European nations, who foolishly permitted, large numbers of Moslems, such as Britian,France,Germany to settle in their countries. Their leaders obvioulsy ignored the Moslems at the gates of Vienna!Anyone who thinks that this Islam movement isn’t a planned take over of Turkey and eventually Europe isn’t reading the tea leaves!

Here in the USA fundmentalist Christians want to take over South Carolina and then expand it to take over the world. The Islamic folks in Turkey have the same dream. Secular sentiments are also no answer for the deepest longings of the human heart, but neither is religion. Both chase after the external “material world”. For the secularists it is Madona, for the fudamentalist it is a palace full of Madonas. Actually, meditation and a universal ideology is the only cure, since the truth is hidden inside of everyone. Humanity is one, so lets move on and love the rest of the universe too.

I think Turkey will have their share of Islamic Headaches sooner than expected.

People do turn to their religion for help whenever poverty hits them hard. These Imam takes advantage of the poverty situations by teaching the wrong ways to their followers…

Life after death and martyrdoms…
