I think people shall not have the right to judge people for their believe. Yes I am a muslim Turk and I am drinking as well. It is between me and God. As we are taught prophet said that "There is no force in religion." So we are supposed to judge all Arabs living a good life without helping other Arab people in Palestine or other poor countries? Turkey was the only country that makes offend against Israel bombings in Palestine just a few months ago. I didn't hear or read anything from any Arab country. I don't know maybe i didn't follow the news very well. For scarf subject and democracy sure you will try to prevent Radical Islam and make some rules if some Radicals start to throw chemicals to girls walking on the street with modern clothes (like trousers and so on, i am not only talking about mini skirts) and thinking they are doing sth bad. And also let me explain sth since the Islamist Parties start to use this as a political symbol girls were able to go schools with scarfs. There were o problem for them. ABUAMERICAN look at yourself before offending other people. You are offending Turkish people not to be able to choose one way but you cant choose a way even for your nick. America is liberating Muslim Iraq and finding non existing biological weapons, not there for OIL, Iraq was a real threat for USA from thousands of km s away from US; right? Turkey is the country that prevents US soldiers to pass its own land because we were against war. Ataturk: that some people are offending here was the person to say peace in land, peace at the world. There is a system in Turkey and of course all systems will try to protect itself against outside affects. With this system Turkey is the most developed Islamic country with its own resources. Compare Turkey with Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and others not having OIL treasure. Of course we should be better in democracy and humanism but there are some critical issues that we have to deal with.

Everyman dies; but not every men really lives.
