Islamic Head Scarves at Issue in Killing of Judge in Turkey

May 17, 2006 11:16AM PDT

STANBUL, May 17 ? A gunman stormed into a courthouse meeting room in Ankara on Wednesday and shot five judges, apparently in anger at a ruling enforcing a strict ban on the wearing of Islamic head scarves
One judge later died, and top officials, including the prime minister, who himself had criticized the court's ruling, rushed to denounce the attack as a violation of Turkey's secular and democratic traditions.

The gunman, who was captured, is Alparslan Arslan, a lawyer.

He is not known to have previously displayed strong Islamist views, but during the siege, "he presented himself as the soldier of God," said Tansel Colasan, acting chief judge of the highest administrative court, the Council of State, where the shooting took place.

"He reportedly said he was there to punish the court


such a good way to disagree huh

and if 1 American religious fanatic does something ''really stoopid'' does that person show the mentality of ''those people''?

How do you decide if ''those people'' are identified by country, religion, race, mentality or whatever?

Not all people like you.. there are
May 22, 2006 1:41AM PDT

a lot of people that have many different stage of emotion, education, dignity, proud, tolerance, etc...


And that is also why the term Insult, Bully, Treat, etc. is in the dictionary.. because they are happening around the world... and most of the time it is caused something... up to war... between individual, group, country etc.

I don't know about you, but I have been in many circle in many country.. Authority, Police, Arm forces, even small and big Gangster group... (No, I'm not in that organization, it just happened that I have to be in their circle) they all have some common thing, one of them is, they all have certain level of Insult tolerance...
