During a speech in Ankara, at an event dedicated to International Women's Day, Emine Erdogan, the wife of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, expressed her positive attitude to harems of the Ottoman Empire. "In many works of art, we can see women obsessed with lust for power and pleasure. The harem was a school for members of the Ottoman dynasty and an educational establishment for preparing women for life. Mothers of sultans were in charge of all that," Emine Erdogan said at a conference devoted to Ottoman sultans and their mothers. This commentary from the Turkish first lady caused a storm of negative reactions from many Turkish people, particularly women. They noted that it was strange to speak about access to education in harems, where there were no books. - See more at: http://www.pravdareport.com/news/society/stories/10-03-2016/133765-turkey_harem-0/#sthash.BtK0IyCV.dpuf

The golden age of islam died centuries ago, and today muslims still live in the past. For example, young Christian boys were forcefully taken from their families, usually at the age of 8-10, and inducted into the Janissaries, (yeniceri in Turkish) where they were Islamized and made to fight for the Ottoman state. What literary, artistic or scientific achievements of the Ottomans can we point to? We can, on the other hand, point to the genocide of 750,000 Assyrians, 1.5 million Armenians and 400,000 Greeks in World War One by the Kemalist “Young Turk” government. Also the effect of the Ottoman state caused the symbol of the crescent moon & star atop at least one of the four minarets to every mosque worldwide. Conquering muslims with their symbolism. This is the true face of Islam.
And those slaves were caught and sold in the only viable and lucrative business of the times by Christians and Jews; the dark time no one wants to talk about and for which many westerners are humiliated to dwell on.

That's a year's worth of bacon.
My guess is she would prefer a fish taco...
I disagree unless it is my harem.
Iron my shirt ...
Turkey’s slide into an islamist state has been one of the most under reported stories of the past number of years.
International Wemens Day!!???!
Yeah, I give my ho-s an hour to celebrate. Then its back on their backs!
Anyone married to HER husband is (1) crazy as a bedbug and (2) thoroughly brainwashed. Therefore, anyone with any sense would not afford her a forum for this nonsense. Tell HER to go be buried for life in a harem.
No, I think this one would just make me nauseous.
Where do I get one?
(Islamic attitude) Books? Women don't need no stinkin' books! Well, maybe a cookbook...
Well,well. An Elena Ceaucescue want to be. Come a day, sweetie.
Is that also why counters are waist high instead of chest high?
