Well you sound like another Sotos on this matter Oracle, so I would stop talking about it, but if you must then at least read a thing or two about it, because the Sotos outfit really does not suit you. :lol:

Shamaran shoosh, you are in no position to object to anyone who recognises Ataturk for the evil-doer to the world that he was/is.!

Anyway, we're waiting for Deniz...

Let it go people, it’s a waste of breath! :roll:


Don’t make me start a “Leave Ataturk alone!” campaign… 8)

Why don't you post the picture of yourself taken sitting on the rocks which I'm sure Deniz would find it more appealing than the image of you being a "SuperNanny". ! :lol:


By the way, Oracle, I have a title for that picture of yours, but I'm not so sure if it would pass your "sensitivity" guidelines.! Depends on how much sence of humour you have.!

Mostly amongst the people who were against the idea of a single united Turkey, such as the minorities who were easily convinced and used to rise up by the Imperialists, in order to further push their divisive agendas, in order to make use of the opportunity that came from a newly collapsed Empire.

Also amongst the many Ottoman supporters who fought hard to get the Imperialist demands accepted and of course the radical Islamists who's lives had been turned up side down with the sudden change in lifestyle such as clothing, the end of the Caliphate and of course women rights, are just a few.

Not an easy job trying to modernize a nation that has been deep a sleep under the Ottoman/Islam opiate for centuries, with hardly any education, while trying to gain independence at the same time.

You are working against many odds and you are bound to make a lot of enemies.

I assure you the people you have met will definitely fall into one of these categories as no self-respecting educated Turk would hold such views, especially not when they are fully aware of what the alternative could have been.


but these are people with feelings shah...if you accept this then you must accept what the extremists were doing in Cyprus at the time...about the minorities and all that...

Everyone has feelings Boomerang.

Why should that mean they can bring Sharia Law?

Or impose other perverse ideologies on the masses?
