Comeon gils(I think.)Pack it in. Kiss and make up. There is enough conflict over Cyprus.

" I think" what with the forums track record, to presume either way would be a mistake.

[roseandchan]

i tried to be reasonable before, you know the old saying ? if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. yes i'm female hubby agrees. kids also............... mosques

[xxNilxx]

They will never allow new mosques in the south. But, it's good the arabs go to your side - i hope they don't come to ours

I hope they will not allow new mosques in North Cyprus as well, and I hope wearing headscarve will become illegal in North Cyprus But not a worry anyway... noone is even think of making a mosque in Northern Cyprus, especially not the turkish cypriots. Instead opening places full of s***, we'd rather open casinos instead

Anyway coming to the point... it is a CHRISTIAN ORTHADOX country.. if arabs don't like it - they can GO HOME.

I've seen loads of pictures of Mosques in the ROC. In very good condition too! Without mosques, how will they bury their dead? Take them for a few hands of 21 or Blackjack?
Sometimes I'm bewildered by what I read on here.

It's like the debate over the relative merits of an Oxford or a Cambridge Education all over again

i have a head scarf for my friends muslim events, just respect for their culture, like not wearing shorts and covering your shoulders in a church. i think it should be personal choice after all they don't say we can't wear jeans ect.

Oh no ... Wearing scarves is a social taboo again ....

Fears for Turkish ruling party as court overturns headscarf law

Robert Tait in Istanbul

The Guardian, Friday June 6 2008

Turkey's highest court yesterday overturned a politically controversial law allowing women students to wear the Muslim headscarf at university, dealing a blow to the country's Islamist-leaning government and its chances of survival.

In a decision with significant implications for Turkey's future, the constitutional court upheld an appeal from opposition parties that the law - passed by parliament in February - posed a threat to its 85-year-old secular system.

The headscarf issue has become one of the most highly charged in Turkish politics, with the ruling justice and development party (AKP) seeing it as a question of religious freedom, while opponents portray it as a potential gateway to a more Islamic society. Hijab-wearers have complained of being expelled from classes by professors, while others have worn wigs to get around the ban.

The ruling was a setback for the AKP, which is embroiled in a separate case - also before the constitutional court - to outlaw the party and ban its officials from politics for alleged anti-secular activity.

"This is the harshest decision the court could have reached," said Soli Ozel, an analyst at Istanbul's Bilgi university. "It gives us a clear sense of how the court is going to vote on the closure case."

Banning the party could plunge Turkey's political system into turmoil, while further jeopardising its already fraught attempt to join the European Union. The European commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, has warned that the country's application could be frozen if the AKP is outlawed.

The AKP has won over many European officials by espousing a democratising agenda seen as key to Turkey's EU membership.

But its domestic critics argue that the party's liberal rhetoric conceals an agenda of imposing an Islamic society by stealth.
