She’s an ISLAMIST and they have changed the country SO much that cruise ships can’t stop in Istanbul much any more....too dangerous.
I disagree. She should be in the kitchen pregnant.
Harem were composed of infidel women (mostly slaves) lorded over by muslim women.
So why isn’t she in one instead of making public speeches? She should go into seclusion immediately.
One’s quite enough,Toots!
A harem? Great! Just what every guy needs is 20+ women at home..../s
can you imagine having 50 sexy muslim women in your home? va-va-voom. Why, every day would be a holiday. I’d blow myself up just to get away from them.
They’ve got Kemal Ataturk lashed down in his tomb so he can’t spin.
What’s next, bring back the fez and Arabic script? 100 years ago Ataturk knew what was holding his people back, mainly Islam and Arab `culture’. He hated both.
With reverence...the Souliot women and the dance of Zalongo

Oh the life in a harem, as mother of a sultan.
You weren’t the wife of the sultan; you were his concubine. The sultans gave up marriage after the wife of one of them was captured and raped, an insult that would never again occur. A concubine raped - not such a loss of face.
A life of culture and art with the other concubines - the art of metaphorical and actual poison as they schemed to be in position of favor with the sultan. The tiny little room to call their own, the warren-like passages, the fresh air and sunshine of the courtyard. The advancement of medicine - small-pox inoculation, because any illness would sweep through close quarters in a heartbeat.
The company of men kidnapped from their homelands and castrated.
The competition and rivalry where concubines assassinated each other’s children.
The enlightened Turkish mode of preventing a civil war of succession on the death of the sultan - all his sons but one strangled with silken cords, down to the suckling babies, and the pregnant concubines sewn in sacks and thrown into the sea!
The harem!
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.
I disagree unless it is my harem.
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.
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.
