No, it just reminds you of the ottoman Empire .
Folks... ( EU ) Ya gotta take Turkey... cause 25 European leaders say so... ?
Turkey's Current... shhhh ( kinda Islamic ) er .. Secular Government. ........................................................................................................................ Americans need to know the background
.................................................................... The AKP ... A reformist faction (Turkish: yenilikçiler) inside the former Islamist party, Fazilet Partisi (Virtue Party) founded the AKP. ... After the ban of Fazilet (Virtue Party ) by The Constitutional Court, the reformist fraction in the Virtue Party including Abdullah Gul ( Now President of Turkey )
and Bulent Arınç joined Recep Tayyip Erdogan ( Now Prime Minister of Turkey ) to found a new party. ( AK, or AKP ) Recep Tayyip Erdogan became the leader, stating that
"AK Parti is not a political party with a religious axis", implying a break with the Islamist tradition. However,
critics accused it of harboring a hidden agenda.[3] wikipedia .............................. It looks like this was taken from a Rosier Time?
Before the rise of the present AKP in Turkey? Excerpts from- The Pew Forum Does "Muslim" Turkey Belong in "Christian" Europe? ............................................................................................... EVENT TRANSCRIPT January 13, 2005 read here- http://pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Does-Muslim-Turkey-Belong-in-Christian-Europe.aspx Talking Turkey
about Turkey and the EU.
....................................................................... WORDS from article in green
...................................................... Are we thinking these are good reasons to add Turkey to the EU?
................................................................................................................ issues of scale, i.e., the huge size of Turkey,
the population (which is very large), the cost to the budget of joining the EU and the voting weight that Turkey will have in the EU if it joins. ....................................
Americans, ( Brits? ) do Not think of Turkey as European, sorry. Someone here please correct me If I'm wrong.
...........................
Europeans have accepted Turkey's European orientation. And I was taught in school half a century ago that Turkey in the 19th century was "the sick man of Europe." I mention that only because it was just commonplace to think of Turkey as ( sick? ) European then and for a long time. So, it's nothing new to think about Turkey as European.
...European leaders declared, all 25 of them, that Turkey is a European state. So, that train has left the station.
.........................
OMG. ............................ Now, as to geography,... We shouldn't be stretching the frontiers of Europe, they say, into Asia.
But, since there isn't a precise definition of where Europe ends, extending the frontiers of the EU to meet Syria, Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia - it's a great opportunity. It's an opportunity to secure Europe's future in this most troubled set of regions. ................................ You have the first part right... The EU shouldn't be stretching the
frontiers of Europe .. into Asia. As far as it being an opportunity to secure Europe's future in
this most troubled set of regions, the words secure and troubled don't belong together in that sentence. ................................. ...the capacity of the European Union to exert a force for good in that region,
projecting stability, security, and prosperity and reform.
...................................
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya ..................................
...if Turkey makes the far-reaching political reforms, the painful
political reforms necessary to comply with all our political norms and values in the EU, then we will open talks without delay. ..................................
Turkey will make painful political reforms necessary
to comply with all EU political norms?
(Turkey will make? .. their religion allows them to make oaths and renege to protect Islamic ambitions... please, don't be Quran ignorant. )
and.... We hear Turkey can't get past it's Human Rights Issues... ( can't even handle women NOT wearing head scarves ) ............................................ Next in our list of identity issues is that of religion.
God and Jesus lost, despite the best efforts of the Vatican. Europe is multi-denominational and it's home to every known religion. As Luis said, we're officially secular, just like Turkey. .................................... OMG.
...we're officially secular, just like Turkey... ( they actually believe that... ? Turkey is
secular? )
................................... It's not on the agenda to exclude a country on the grounds of religion.
...................................
First on the Agenda would be to discuse, what is a religion... Tell me what religions include - Civil Law, Absolute Rule, Subjugation of women, Our God say's we must offer up our religion to you to adopt... before we do you in. ( ask Bush about the 'letter.' ) ................................. Will the European Leaders desire for a strong trading partner Blind them
to all the mental/ social grief that will come with adopting Turkey? Imagine the Turkish people that will flee to European countries flooding them... welfare city.... to get away from the rise of Islam in the coming years, after Turkey gets in and then does whatever the heck it wants? .............................

 A rally of the Justice and Development Party ( AKP ) In 2007
The ELEPHANT in the Living Room is-
Erdogan's New Constitution ?
........................................................ ( ie. AKP Forever ) .........................................................
OMG... Erdogan's Government is STILL screaming about wanting Head Scarves For Women .
Is Turkey the Next Iran?
( Notice what the AKP wants to Manipulate... ) ..................................
In March, the government finally announced that instead of rewriting a constitution,
it would opt for a smaller package of amendments. The amendments focused on changing the composition of the constitutional court and supreme board of judges (HSYK), dissolution of political parties, the decisions of the supreme military council (YAS), and the prosecution of past coup perpetrators as well as the expansion of certain civil liberties. ( like head scarves ? real liberating... ) (I don't call changing the composition of the constitutional court
and supreme board of judges, ... small. )
dissolution of political parties... the decisions of the supreme military council... the prosecution of past coup perpetrators... ( Looks like a real wake up call here.)

Well looks like Turkey will be joining the Axes of Evil alliance. Russia, Iran, Syria and China
They will be challenging Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. European reaction is as always nonexistent and none threatening. Israel has two options fight or back off. If Israel chooses to fight they will be responsible for a start of WWIII if they will back off then WWIII will start a year later. The European reaction to the first try to breach the blockade was mostly negative, so the second try will be blooder and more dangerous, Israel will be accused of attaking the hospital ship and the peaceful aid convoy. I think the Iranians have the working A-bomb and this is the start of the Big Middle Ester war |

Handling of the H1N1 pandemic: PACE calls for safeguards against "undue influence by vested interests"

excerpt-
PACE Resolution refers to industry profits based on erroneously interpretation of data
According to the Assembly, the handling of the pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), European
Union health agencies and national governments led to a "waste of large sums of public money, and unjustified scares and fears about the health risks faced by the European public." Article here-

I said this at the Colorado CDC meeting, "Damned if you do and damned if you don't."
If this novel H1N1 had been deadly and the WHO and CDC had done nothing and millions died they would have hung all of the people in these organizations!!!! I for one am glad they had a trial run because if a truly deadly Flu comes along we know what can be done. Dang, short sighted people who have 20/20 hind sight are really dumb IMHO. |

Born in Belgium to a large Moroccan family, Karima was forced to wear the veil from the time
she was nine. "They ended up sewing it to my hair," she confides. Treated like a maid by her
family, she was cloistered, mistreated and forcibly married in Morocco; an existence she
managed to escape from, and recount in her autobiography. She says she wrote her story
for the girls and women who face the same ordeals.

Baroness Emma Nicholson on Situation in Iran
.................................................................................... ...we should be having dialog on cultural issues...
...one critical item we should discuss...this so called barrier between Islam and a democracy. Prehaps it hasn't been noticed that the the Islamic ah, Republic of Iran believes that she has cracked that particular dificulty and that her form of ah, democracy is fully comprehensible with the Islamic republic of Iran's version of Islam, the All Important Sharia Law, and the shiite islamic tradition. I think this is again somthing we should welcome, and should discuss this very year... video

Danger... when ONE culture in the MULTIculture ...... Takes Over....
.......................................................................................................................................
For centuries the people of europe have retained seperate states of various cultural flavors,
creating the joy of travel through Europe.
Imagine any one of our states... being overtaken in a mere 40 yrs ... by Islam?
We are not talking about an unusual food or a different accent. We are talking about a new form of society/politics/Law setting up shop within.... A state within a state. Talk about standing out like a sore thumb... a screaming, demanding of it's rights sore thumb. Not willing to "fit in" Realizing your "State" will never be the same again... Not unusual to feel German Chancellor Angela Merkel's pain.... That the stark realization of attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany has "utterly failed"
Even so she says, demand for integration is a key task... and it must be a German trademark to be a country that gives people there an opportunity.
Very generous.
So Look for Germany to expect integration of the 2 out of 3 children under 5. Expected to speak German and fit into the culture.
(Allegiance- a duty of fidelity said to be owed by a subject or a citizen to his/her state ) So, bring out secular Santa, Valentines Day, the Easter Bunny, Halloween, something Patriotic, something like Thanksgiving, Sports Teams, AND
(I pledge allegiance to The German Flag )
Hey, it works in the USA. Note in Yellow, the percieved combined circumstancial errors of government, that lead to the dangerous cultural imbalance, ratio of native Germans to immigrants.
Frederick The Great :/ ...even if Turks and heathens came ... ...............................................................................................................................................................
wikipedia
In 1740 Frederick The Great stated (in the context of affirming the toleration of Catholics) that "All religions are just as good as each other, as long as the people who practice them are honest, and even if Turks and heathens came and wanted to populate this country, then we would build mosques and temples for them".[15]
In practice, already the first contingent of Turkish guardsmen had been given the use of a prayer room on Sundays. It soon became necessary to establish a Turkish/Muslim cemetery in Berlin, in which a mosque was finally built in 1866.[16] Diplomatic relations were established between Berlin and Constantinople (today's Istanbul) in the 18th century, and by the 19th century trading treaties were set up between the two cities. These developments encouraged the crossover of citizens between the Ottoman and German states.[17] As a consequence to these developments, the Turkish community in Germany, and particularly in Berlin, grew significantly in the years before the First World War.[18]
Immigration to Germany ............................................. The large-scale of immigration of Turkish workers from the beginning of the 1960s
was on the one hand, due to the high population growth and mass unemployment
within Turkey, and on the other, due to the demand for labour in north-west Europe.[20]
...In 1961, the construction of the Berlin Wall exacerbated West Germany’s labour crisis by restricting the flow of immigrants from East Germany, and that same year Turkey's first recruitment agreement was signed.[23]
Pressure from German employers in 1962 and 1963 played a key role in ending the two-year limit on the period for which Turkish workers were permitted to stay in West Germany.[24]
In 1961, a total of 7,116 Turks migrated to Germany to become workers.[25]
The recruitment treaty in 1961 made Germany the prime host country for Turkish guest workers ...
[edit] Family reunification
...between 1974–1988, the number of Turks in Germany nearly doubled, acquiring a normalised sex ratio and a much younger age profile than the German population because of the larger numbers of children per family. By 1987, 21% of ethnic Germans were under the age of 21, compared to 42% of the Turks in Germany.[30]
...granted most work visas to women.
This was in part because labour shortages continued in low paying, low-status service jobs such as electronics, textiles, and garment work; and in part to further the goal of family reunification.[31] ... increasing numbers of second-generation Turks have opted for German citizenship and are becoming more involved in the political process.[35] .............................

A Lot has Changed since 1997
................................................... A fact of life Commission on British Muslims and Islamophobia ( bought into Muslims as Victims. ) Islamophobia: A Challenge for Us All,
was launched in November 1997 by the Home Secretary, Jack Straw.
........................................................... From The Times October 7, 2006 I would prefer women not to wear the veil at all, says Straw ....................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................... By Anthony Browne,
Chief Political Correspondent JACK STRAW increased tensions with sections of Britain’s Muslim community over use of the Islamic veil yesterday by declaring his opposition to women wearing them at all.
The Leader of the Commons faced anger from Muslim groups, but won backing from, among others, the Prime Minister, a bishop and a Muslim peer. Mr Straw, the MP for Blackburn, where one in five of his constituents is Muslim, toured broadcasting studios setting out his concerns that the growing use of veils that cover the face was damaging community relations. He had disclosed in a Lancashire newspaper that he had been asking constituents if they would mind removing the niqab covering their faces during meetings, so that he might see their facial expressions. He defended the right of Muslim women to wear a headscarf.
Yesterday, asked by BBC radio if he would in general prefer women not to wear veils, he said: "Yes. I’m not talking about being prescriptive but with all the caveats, yes, I would rather."
He insisted that he was opposed to the veil being banned by law, but said that it was a visible sign of difference that was "bound to make better, positive relations between the two communities more difficult".
"Communities are bound together partly by informal, chance relations between strangers, people being able to acknowledge each other in the street or being able to pass the time of day," he said. "That is made more difficult if people are wearing a veil. That is just a fact of life."

Germany hopes to make forced marriage a crime .................................................................................. October 27, 2010 By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, Associated Press
2010-10-27 06:07:00 PDT Berlin, , Germany - (10-27) 06:07 PDT BERLIN, Germany (AP) --
Germany's government on Wednesday proposed criminalizing forced marriage, a tradition
that some Muslim immigrant families impose on their children, even ones who were raised
in Germany's more liberal society.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's Cabinet agreed to a proposed law that would make forced
marriage in Germany a crime that can be punished with up to five years in prison.
The legislation still needs to pass parliament.
"Forced marriages are a serious problem in Germany," Interior Minister Thomas de
Maiziere said, adding that by criminalizing them Germany would make clear that this is
no longer "a tradition from olden times or different cultures that is ... tolerable."
