Protest

I am against these pictures. Photos made in front of Westminster cathedral in London. As a protest against the Pope's remarks during his infamous speech in Regensburg last year. I remember the Danish cartoon crisis. Are these slogans not an insult as well? Btw, they could protest freely in front of church...

Birthday of Ataturk

Everybody in Turkey knows Ataturk. His work, his life (although his marriage is still a no-talking issue) his vision, his life style. But if you look for his birthday, it always: Ataturk born in 1881, in Salonika, Greece. Without a day.

But it was fun to read an article by Turkish-Dutch student, who 'discovered' that Ataturk was born on the 17th of May 1881. For astrology freaks: the same birthday as Khomeini, Qaddafi, Enya, Stevie Wonder, and me...Will they threat me now with more respect in Turkey?...
