Quote from acronym:
Hapaboy, to the rescue......reporting from tropical paradise.
During a whirlwind trip around the globe, many moons ago, i had the respective misfortune to drop in on a rural turkish family.
Hard working folk, prayed 5 times a day.
Through an interpreter, i discovered, the young folk were at wits end, dealing with the hyper religious bullshit of their parents, and that the television in the house, was only there at the extreme limits of their benevolence-and that the elders, quite literally, said it was EVIL.
Un islamic, they said.
There simply was no question, had i attempted to live there, with any variety of western "morals", i would have my head on the chopping block, in no short order.
The sheer repression of the society was so extreme, i find it baffling that similiar stories or experiences aren't shared here.
And thats in turkey......the poster child of "islam can work in a secular society"
BS.
Wael?
