Default Ring opens for "Sultan" Erdoghan I. versus British "the Bull" Free Press

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23474404

Well, that's him - our big hope and most exemplary textbook example of how to abuse democratic mechanism to establish autrocratic ruling and religious discrimination. Well done, my Sultan - it does not need critics like me anymore to reveal what a megalomaniac, patriarchalic tyrannic sucker you are - since two years you are kind enough to frequently rip the m ask off your face all by yourself. So i say thanks for the free ride!

However, Turkey remains to be the one country in the Midsdle East, Russia and Europe where more journalists are being imprisoned and intimidated by the government than in any other country of said places - including Russia, Syria, Iran. Comrade Putin, you better step up your actions, your reputation is just a fake!

Meanwhile, Egypt: the state prosecutor has sued theocrat Mursi for having cooperated with terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and that the Muslim brotherhood also cooperated in acts of violence with these two humanitarian relief organsiations, amongst others a storming of a prison and a jail break in 2011 where later alibi president Mursi was freed with force.

Look, Erdoghan and Mursi have something in common.

Laughable the reaction in the West to the Egyptian events: they want back their beloved religious fanatic and pathfinder for anything-but-democratic egyptian society, because he got ballots. Now that the military and one half of the civil society realised that they made a bad mistake with the MB and acted in a sudden rise of minimal reason and got rid of this fanatical, they threaten the Egyptians, the US has cancelled a fighter deal, and the aid for Egypt suddenly is put into question. We want back our beloved Muslim extremists, their words pour down our ears so nicely, we love them!

On a deeper level of arrogance and reality-disconnected megalomania the EU probably wanted to demonstrate the glorious missionising power of democracy by seeing how the barbarian religious extremists are so blinded by the shine that they turn from wolves into happy democratic sheep all by themselves. Bad bad Egyptian military for not sharing that sense of comedy!

I wish the Turkish military would act in the same fashion. But since years it allows to get in filtrated by the religious, eroding it from within, while Erdoghan has used any state instance he has under control to castrate the military leadership beyond the point where it could fulfill its constitutional role anymore: to protect the secular state against religious takeover.

Just in: another secularist and Islam-critic has been assassinated in "democratic" Libya". Another oppositional politicians critical of the Islamic fundamentalist has been shot dead in Tunisia. Those committing these deeds have the support of the West. For they have ballots.

Ahh democracy, you like it when it goes your way, you hate it when it doesn't

I don't know about regulations in the UK. but in Canada, newspapers are allowed to publish political advertisements, as long as it is disclosed that it is one.

I think the case will be thrown out of court if he decides to sue.

What I like about this topic is that the Egyptian coup(planned since November) is backed by Saudi which is the "true" flavour of islam Sky is always warning us against.

Kinda confusing isn't it?
Though I think I have an answer to the seeming contradiction, the house of Saud run a feudal state which is like that hoppean dreamworld utopia which is free from the evils of democracy that he favours of late.
