>>What barabaric thinking and a lie. The reason stated was that these walls were of Christian origin and "un-Islamic."

un-Islamic walls! LOL! Only a moron like you could come up with that!

Calling me "barabaric" certainly is going to gain you a few points with somebody. Good move. And I am also a liar according to you. Very convincing.

You're a fool Pericles, stop living in the distant past, and join the civilized world of today.

Now stop bothering me!

un-Islamic walls! LOL! Only a moron like you could come up with that!

OOOps! The Morons are Turks. By your own words.

Easiest of all is to be riding up above on one of those cloud horses that Mehmet and Constantine keep using to monitor what's going on in "their" city. The two men would perhaps have been pleased to hear that the city walls are being repaired although three years ago some quite conservative politicians were all for tearing them down as "un-Islamic."

Then the article adds that The city is fortunate in having an intelligent leader in Mayor Recep Tayyip Erdogan who recognizes the need to keep conservative elements under control if not totally happy at the same time that he is fully aware that tourism brings in income to the city.

The men who called the walls "un-Islamic" were from Mayor Recep Tayyip Erdogan's own party and he had to shut them down (in public). I like the tourisim bit. No thought to the historical value of the walls, an example of barbaric thinking.
