Islamofascism in Turkey

Before islamic AKP government, wearing headscarves used to be banned at schools, universities and other official buildings in Turkey. And according to the decisions of courts , including the supreme court, Turkey is a secular country and nobody can wear a headscarf or other religios symbols in official buildings. But AKP governmet changed the law, and the judges of course, to remove headscarf ban.

In fact this was not a simple change in law, it was a islamic revolution. Therefore, islamist and jihadist AKP government and the judges and proscuters assigned by AKP started to punish secular people for spreading islamisation process.

And this secular professor was one of them. If you shoot and hurt somebody or if you steal something, the maximum sentence is usually not more than 2 years in Turkey. BUT, if you obey the supreme court decisions and do not let headscarfed girls enter a university, the punishment is 2 and half a year in prison.

According to the criminal code of Turkey, sentences more than 2 years can not be suspended. Because of this fact, the professor will be imprisoned soon…

  1. What is happening in Turkey proves that the people who want to change Islam are not going to succeed, the Army tried to force Turkey into a secular western mode and failed, the Shah tried to force Iran into a secular western nation and failed. Although reports from Iran say that the theocracy there is forcing the Iranians away from Islam.
