Yes, and Hitler did wonders for Germany up until 1941, and was abused in his adolescence by a Jewish family - so the holocaust is understandable.
Do I get thanks for such a balanced view?
p.s. You bored, dim house wives are fckin hilarious.

My cousin in Sydney is married to a Muslim from one of these fanatical countries. She probably would agree theres lots of religious knobs there. However she's good value - trained as a lawyer and doctor.

It's bound to cause issues...what's worse, calling a teddy bear Mowhatsits (looks around), or a Muslim girl covering up all over and making me feel awkward on the bus, and maybe, for all I know, because I know she can't drive.

It's not double standards, it's *different* standards - and the biggest problem is that *their* standards are so much ''stricter'', less *tolerant* than ours.

Turkey is a secular nation though, where the rights and privileges of the citizenry in a (reasonably) democratic nation are placed higher than the dogmatic religious views of of any one particular group.
In Turkey, the secular government has the firm support of the military, though in recent times more 'fundamentalist' groups have been active in attempting to move away from secular rule towards majority islamic sharia law. The military have said in no uncertain terms that they would not support this move, and would take action to preserve secularism for all Turkish citizens.
How this might change in the future is anyone's guess however...
