In yet another example of the clampdown on artists and writers and the rise of Islamic Intollerance in Turkey, the classical pianist, Fazil Say, has been charged with insulting Islam in two light-hearted tweets on Twitter!!!

The deflamatory tweets...

"You say rivers of wine flow in heaven, is heaven a tavern to you? You say two houris await each believer there, is heaven a brothel to you?"

In a separate tweet, Say poked fun at a muezzin, someone who makes the Muslim call to prayer.

"The muezzin finished the evening prayers in 22 seconds ... Why are you in such hurry? A lover? A raki table?" he asked, referring to the aniseed-flavored spirit popular in Turkey.

Oh... and this is part of a poem written by Mad Dog Erdogan in 1998, for which he got 6 months for Incitement to Religious Hatred...

"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers."

...he is a better Turk than most, his questions are very valid as a Muslim, too.

...regretfully "Turks" hold power in Turkey.
