Demonstrators wave Turkish flags during a pro-secular rally in Izmir, western Turkey, Sunday, May 13, 2007. Some 1.5 million Turks attended a secular rally in Turkey's third-largest city, which would make it the largest demonstration so far against the Islamic-rooted government. The rally, in the Aegean port city of Izmir, was organized as a show of strength before general elections on July 22, and it follows similar demonstrations in Ankara and Istanbul last month.

I suppose this is a good thing, but it is ironic that this demonstration against Islamism took place in the very city the great grandparents of these people massacred 250,000 Orthodox Christians in 1922.

It’s good to see these shows of solidarity, but I just can’t help but think that it’s only a matter of time before Islamists begin to penetrate these shows of solidarity wearing suicide belts strapped around their wastes and then begin to blow themselves up amongst the crowds in order to swash all dissent.

I hope they win out. I am not a big fan of the Turks or for that matter the Greeks that want to recreate the "Glories of Byzantium", a place doomed for destruction after, 1025.

Religion is Religion and for the most part, outside of values, should stand aside.

Maybe Turkey doesn’t want to go back to the Turd Century??
