  4. Hold up… Is the music the “The Light of the Seven” of Game of Thrones?

    Quite fitting if you ask me…

  5. This religious groups are not much than %5 – %10 but control all over us because of Akp. If you wanna shariya, you can live in Eastern regions.

    I do not understand these people. I do not want to your lifestyle, why are you busting my balls piece of work?

  6. Religious idiots who get offended by a dance, and euro-centric secular idiots who consider a germanic folk dance from centuries ago to be a symbol of modernity simply because it is European.

  8. Wow they would really hate the school dance from my high school then. It was kids grinding on each other to Get Low by Lil John and The Eastside Boyz & Yeah by Usher.

  9. When your country is less modern now than it was in the 1920’s, you’ve really fucked up.

  11. I am part of an ERASMUS+ project, we are 4 countries participating, including mine (Italy) and Turkey.

    Each nation takes turns hosting the team members of the other nations for about 1 week and recently it was our turn to host.

    I made friends with the guys from the Turkish team, they were very nice. One was a Muslim believer and the other was not. When we went to the restaurant both the atheist and the believer asked which dishes contained pork, shellfish and similar things that Muslims cannot eat. I then asked the atheist why he didn’t want to eat those things and he replied “out of respect for the believer”.

    But is the situation in Turkey really so serious as to make non-believing Muslims fear eating pork and the like?
