I laughed way more than I should've done at this.
 
Sounds to me like the army have had enough of Islam and are taking Turkey back to secularism. I hope they succeed and stop Islam creeping further west.

Turkey's in the middle of most Islamic nations. Most of north Africa is west of Turkey!
You do realise that Turkey has been predominantly Islamic for centuries. It's not 'creeping' into Turkey, it's secularism that's been creeping in.

WASHINGTON — Congress on Friday made public a long-classified document detailing possible connections between the Saudi government and the Sept. 11 terrorist plot.


The 28-page document is a wide-ranging catalog of possible links between Saudi officials and Qaeda operatives. It details contacts that Saudi operatives in Southern California had with the hijackers and describes the discovery of a telephone number in a Qaeda operative’s phone book that was traced to a corporation managing a Colorado home of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

One for the conspiracy theorists.

Meanwhile background on Turkey....


And who the fuck is dropping bombs on Turkish Parliament? So much misinformation on social media.
 
Fascinating article here:

www.vox.com/2016/7/15/12203886/coup-turkey-erdogan


Could the coup attempt in Turkey against President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan’s government end up empowering... President Erdogan? Some analysts think so:

To see why, go back to this July 5th New York Times story outlining the growing fears that Erdogan was moving towards "seizing the title of president for life."


At the time of the article, the fear was that Erdogan sought — and could perhaps achieve — authoritarian power in his office. He was trying to purge hundreds of judges from Turkey’s top courts, cracking down on freedom of the press (the editor of the state’s largest newspaper was forced to flee the country), and forging an closer alliance with the country’s military ("the [military’s] chief of staff was a witness at his daughter’s wedding").

They will not succeed!!.

First of all, Turkey is not an Islamic state, as per the Turkey Constitution, Turkey is Secular, Democratic, and Republic.
Second, Islam has nothing to do with all this killing. The West has created all these problems. Starting from Crusader wars that killed millions of innocent peoples, the occupation of the Arab world by the colonial powers, the first and second world wars that killed millions of innocent people, these are all from the west.
Third: The majority of those who have committed crimes in some western cities are, in fact, criminals with criminal precedents and are drug addicted, their crimes are not limited to western cities, but it also includes many Islamic Cities and killed many Muslims. There is a major belief in the Islamic world that these criminals group act in coordination with some western powers!!!, believe it or not.

There are Millions of Christians are living in the Islamic world before and after the beginning of Islam, and they are still living without any problem.
In Islam, and as per the Quran: if anyone killed a person, not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. The Prophet said, “The great sin is to murder a human being".

So, please do not try to be smart when you do not know anything about the subject.

On Sky News I really feel for that guy who's holiday been affected in Marmaras...
 
Reports that the Turkish Police and the Turkish Military are exchanging fire in Taksim Square, Istanbul and 2 very loud explosions heard. This is 2 hours after the Turkish President urged people to take to the street and a crowd had gathered there.

What an awful mess.
