I asked the now-infamous question about how conservatives deal with the vast majority of people of my faith who are peaceful.

My suggestion is to show your opposition to Islamism and Sharia Law as Turks do. Simple. But how come Turkey can get millions out on the streets of major cities protesting Islamism and Sharia Law and here in America you cannot get a thousand Muslims to protest Islamism and Sharia Law.

Yes, I have oft-posted these images but they are

  1. nice to look at
  2. informative, and
  3. there are some who have not seen them and know very little about the goings on

Millions of Turks have long made it plain that they are not ready to give in to Islamism, Sharia law, and burkas..

". . . 32 percent to 38 percent of Turks (upward of 25 million people) would never support the [Islamist] AKP or want to live in a country shaped solely by its values." Tens of millions of Muslims in Turkey are "Islamophobes" like us?

The image on the banner is of Ataturk the founder of modern secular democratic constitutional Republic of Turkey. The photos are from demonstrations of a few years ago protesting the ruling AK Party's Islamist (political Islam & Sharia law) leanings and reminding the AKP that they promised the voters that they would respect Turkey's heritage of secularism.

I believe that things are "heating up" as more pressure mounts on Erdogan and the AKP to end the road to an Islamist Republic -- meanwhile it seems to me that we drift along carried by more and more PC bullshit to tolerate Islamist crap
