Kurdish protest? Somebody burned a copy of the Quran in front of the embassy in Sweden. Millions have been protesting in Turkey and elsewhere. Yeesh.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post
There was a Kurdish protest in front of Turkey's embassy in Sweden last week. Turkey isn't ready to vote in favor of admitting Sweden. Finland might join without Sweden at first."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Right. There were actually two protests. One was the Kurdish protest, and the other that sparked the biggest reaction was the burning of the Quran. Pretty crazy.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I guess I don’t understand how one person burning the Quran can keep an entire country out of nato. I guess turkey just wants a reason to vote no even if that reason isn’t valid."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

More the current Erdogan government than Turkey the country. Erdogan is up for election and it's thought there is a better than decent chance he could be voted out in favor of a centrist western leaning party. Let's hope it holds, but the trend toward extreme right anti-democracy types has lost a lot of steam with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has made pro-Putin authoritarianism look pretty bad. A year ago no one would have expected Bolsonaro in Brazil to lose, for example.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI guess I don’t understand how one person burning the Quran can keep an entire country out of nato.

Yeah, never mind that Russia is backing out of the nuclear arms treaty... Nuclear war isn't much of a threat. Or was he right about the nuclear "Armageddon" thing?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Doesn't it seem like we're doing a lot more to prevent nuclear war than global warming, though? Maybe if it sounded scarier...Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post
