Quote:Turkey is more tolerant than most. Its becouse We are not ruled by sharia and We have a secular constitution. But even here religious people sometimes do really horrible stuff.
When I visited Turkey a few years ago we were having a discussion with our guide about the truly magnificent way that English is taught in Turkey. He explained about how it was done but also mentioned that it caused some controversy because the more religious elements wanted Arabic taught so that people could read the koran "properly." (Apparently there is a belief that the book can't be translated properly?) Any comment on that Annatar?
