I can see that your eyes are blinded because you interpreted Muftuoglu as defending Islam. Your concepts are corrupted. You can read but cannot understand. She was not defending Islam nor she was bashing Islam. She was more awake than you and the other gentleman who sees everything through religously colored glasses. She was defending her own country because people like you insist seeing her country as this muslim that muslim. It is rude and offensive to name Christian Britts, Moderete Catholic Italia, fanatical protestan America. And coloring any independent country with a constitutional democracy such as Turkey as islamic is very very ignorant not only that it is somewhat embarrasing on your part.

But alas. If you are not embarrassed I wont emphasize it any more. She was somewhat angered by your ignorance but she was still trying to inform you . I knew you are not open to that kind of discussion. It is a shame true communications will never be possible because people love their sleep and deep dreams and their hatred will soon turn against any living being.
