31. Turkish Logic (Stupidity & Irrationality)
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (01.25.13)
If you don not belive me ask their neighbours the Iraninans. Turkish Logic is fabled in Persia!
32. Truth about Mosques!
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (01.25.13)
The mosques architecture that you see everywhere in the world is an invention of the Persian Engineering! The Arabs & Muslims did not come up with it! The concept is based on the Zoroastrian Customs. Before Islam the Persians had built many Fire Temple as symbols of light of the good lord Ahura Mazda. They had 2 Towers for the keeprs of the fire which supervised it constantly. The 2 mineret are actually the 2 fire-keepers towers and the dome in the fire/fire place. When they invaded Persia they did not allow the Persians to practice their faiths/culture. That is how mosques cam about. The arabs instead buried their military leaders and Immams and forced the persians instead of keeping the sacred fire (light) of the good lord, to worship their leaders.

Europe is flooded with millions of Turkish immigrants, 99.999% of them are Muslim and hold only an average education. For years they have been pushing for prominence in their host country, demanding a cultural autonomy from the govt, despite being a guest worker minority. I saw this in Switzerland and in Germany. In Essen (Germany) it wasn't even safe to walk the streets at night because of the brazen Turkish population there. My guess is this reaction about a toy in really part of the larger muscle flexing of Turks in Europe - in this case, the country of Austria, and that we'll see more of it in the future. Their claim that this toy also resembles a "Muslim symbol" in reflective in their myopic belief of Islamic Supremacy and the view that Turkey is a Muslim country, despite having a history and population of Christians.

Carl ,   USA   (01.25.13)
Centuries into the future versus millenia in the past... These guys should be honored that something that far into the future might still include anything resembling Islam.

Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (01.25.13)

Secular/moderate religion is good for morale and society. Note: I say that even though not being religious myself. If I got to chose between living among moderate religious and atheists, I'd take the moderate religious. By my own observation slightly religious people tend to be friendlier and less arrogant.
43. Yeeesss. Too much money in the pocket!
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (01.25.13)
After Akmerkez mall ( was recognized as the best shopping center in the world in 1996) Istanbul's Cevahir Mall the second largest in the world, the largest in Europe (with the LARGEST DOME with metro access) Our Greek brothers are coming EISTINPOLIN for work and they don't care the Latin Crusader EU!!!!!!!!
