Just to give you a glimpse of better things than saddening photos of police brutality, here is what people did at the Gezi Park in the past 2-3 days: * An impromptu library was built, here are some photos: http://gezikutuphanesi.blogspot.com/ (scroll down) with books donated by people and many publishers. * Women doing yoga at Gezi Park: http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags : http://imgur.com/3kubMll?tags (FYI, it is not co…

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 large…
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?
Why would you do this?
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.
From a Greek neighbour, good luck!
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 t…
It's almost insulting.

Member for 1199 days and you post this rant. Seriously, the best thing you can do right now is delete your HN account and not come back. Edit: Assuming that maeon3 is merely trolling and is not actually deranged, please lets not feed this troll any more.
Check out this beauty: "Like slavery in the 18th century, prisons are a necessary evil.." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5798034

You ignored all the criticism I offered of your original post. Why would you do this?
You mentioned I wasn't responding to your argument, I was, you said Muslims always Integrate, and I responded with an example right now of Muslims threatening countries with 9/11 events to get an Islamic State within Norway. This game you are playing. Two can play it.
Why are you defending the terrorists? Instead of acknowledging the truth and letting it be, you do genetic fallacies and attacking the person instead of adressing the facts of the matter.

The only real terrorist attack ever in Norway came from a lone-wolf white guy who you seem to have ideologically a whole lot in common with.

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?
I think government's job is just trying to boost the economy, trying to not get into any war, paying the debts to IMF and etc.
But current ruling party forces our life styles into a shape which they draw.
Just one example:
- Taksim Square is a famous tourist attraction centers of Istanbul. - Government first said to bars (pubs): "you can't put stalls on front of your bar." People protested just on facebook and twitter. - They said: "you can't sell alcohol after 10pm but you can sell other things". Nothing happened. Just some protests but our PM labeled protesters as "alcoholics". - After that they said: "Nope! No alcohol after 10 PM even for stores. You can't go to pubs, you can't buy from stores." People protested but PM said "So, you wanna raise your children as alcoholics?! We can't let this happen!"
You smell where these is going? Current ruling party tries to divide Turkey in two sides. "Religious good citizens" vs "atheists, lgbts, alcoholics, left-wings" etc.
Someone had to tell them "just because you are ruling party, you can't make everything you want". and we are trying to tell them this.
by the way, sorry for my english again.
