The following is a description (slightly modified) from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness. At 2% and 3% t…

Let's have a look at some of the claims here:

> Six percent of US prison inmates are Muslim.

Given the incredible over-representation of blacks in US prisons and the number of blacks that embraced Islam during the CRM this is a surprising statistic?

> Like any other minority, they won’t integrate, but work to build their own separate community.

Good, I am glad that we have worked out that this text is part of a larger demonstration of the evils of minorities in the United States. All those immigrants over all those generations, what a waste. I mean look at what has become of the Germans and Irish in America!

> South Africa's Muslim population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks..

Oh, it is good to know that the author if this knows nothing about South African history. This argument is exactly parallel to the idea that a cabal of Jews is running the western world, you realize that? I could make the same argument about the "evil" Chinese in the Muslim nations of south east Asia - how is it that these great and terrible Muslims allow another ethnic minority to concentrate economic power in nations where they are the majority but are somehow crafty enough to take over the economy of South Africa.

> When Muslims reach 10%.. Ei: car-burnings in France last October.

France is not actually at 10% but I am sure we can trust you that the motivations for rioting had nothing to do with economic conditions or being marginalized.

I could carry on but I grow weary of this.

Shocking pictures. This is converging with alarming speed on an all out confrontation. Turkey is a very beautiful country balancing on the Europe-Asia divide with a lot of internal pressure built up over a long time. If the government keeps pushing like this it will likely reap a lot more than they've bargained for. The Turks that I've known in my life are tremendously proud and very hard working people, push enough…

Thanks for the compliments about Turkish people, jacquesm.

I can say that things have improved in the last couple of days; violence of police has been more or less throttled, the local media has started covering the news, and members of the gov't, the deputy PM, the President and even pro-goverment journalists have started realizing the significance of this issue. I would say the main opposition is actually against the PM Erdogan himself now, who has yet to show respect for us. We will see whether he will change his mind in a few days and apologize (not very likely), when he returns from his trip to Algeria.

From a Greek neighbour, good luck!

Thanks :) You are our role models :)

You should pick better role models :P

I wish you didn't have to fight so hard to get your government to respect your wishes, but I hope they'll back down soon.

Thanks for sharing this and i'm currently in the capital city of Turkey (ankara). I'm one of those protesters. I can answer questions if someone wants to ask something. Thanks to HN community for following protests in Turkey.

Can you provide some photographic proof that you are who you say you are, edit: (sorry, the ability to remain anonymous is very important as lives are on the line). You might want to use a throw-away in that case as well because usernames can be tracked.

This is a really ridiculous request, several dozen people have already been arrested for tweets encouraging folks to protest. Asking this person to identify themselves this way puts them at significant risk.

You said: "I mean look at what has become of the Germans and Irish in America!"

I read your sarcasm. But the logic is flawed, just because some groups are peaceful does not mean all groups are peaceful.

For example, Muslims are rioting RIGHT NOW and threatening Norway with more 9/11 events if Oslo is not made into a separate Islamic State.

Why would Muslims do this?

I don't think i can do this. Maybe you know Turkey as a modern, democratic country but we are not. I'm currently using Tor because of fear. You can face court in Turkey because of just re-tweeting something. edit: sorry for my english. edited for some grammer mistakes.

Ah, well then we'll take it on faith then. Why did you join the protest?
