    I’m not happy about accusing millions of people either. However, I have experienced all my life what religion can do to countries or people when it finds a gap. Especially in a religion like Islam, which is not as neutralized as other religions.

    I am aware that what all I said were cruel, unfair and racist. But I don’t regret it.

    I’m from Turkey. If my ancestors were cruel like me, rather than tolerant like you; We wouldn’t be governed by a right-wing, sharia-supporting government right now.

    You’ll probably don’t believe, but we used to as secular as France 25 years ago. Then these people found a gap, tricked “human rights supporters” and “LGBT” people and got supported by them. Yes, Erdogan was literally pro-LGBT back then.

    Anyways, end of story, they slowly boiled us just like the frog in the pan. Unfortunately, I see this pattern in Europe as well.

      Yes, in Italy, led by far right Christian traditionalists, removing parenting right from gay couples.

      Christianity can be as restrictive as Islam, if used by the wrong people.
