Yeah, I think he was quite unlucky, he was not even aware of the attempt to a pride parade and made the fatal mistake of asking for directions to the area where the pride would happen and there you go, 9 days unable to make a phone call in overcrowded prisons and more 11 days in prison after the first phone call. Welcome to Türkye...

I'm also not sure why you keep denying a concept accepted by everyone including academia. But to be honest I don't care, this conversation is too silly. Have a good one.

Putin is the prime suspect of several acts against his own civil population. You also call that war? Against which army?

And assuming that the sensitivies of people burning embassies should be accounted for is being overly charitable to a bunch of literal religious-nazis. These are 2 very different degrees of violence. It's not the same burning a book and burning an embassy (luckily no one died, but not that the mob cared).

Não consigo abrir o link. Não era mais simples linkar diretamente o Público e quem quiser usar filtros ou guardar no arquivo o fizesse depois?

So I see you're unfamiliar with the concept of state terrorism.

I know enough about the religious texts to know that's a huge simplification. And while the old testament does have horrible things in it, the quran goes far beyond. This is something we should be able to discuss freely.

I think Sweden, and Denmark for that matter, are very well aware of the potential violence this unleashes, they've been suffering quite a few attacks against their embassies in recent years for jokes, cartoons or quran burnings.

And yes, it's easy for me to say this behind anonymity. I live in Brussels and wouldn't be speaking so easily under my own name. Which says a lot about the degradation of freedom to express your opinions about religion without fearing for your security in Europe today. So yeah, I don't want to lose that freedom. Better to close the embassies in Iraq.

Again, I wouldn't burn a quran. But do I think it's a sacred book above criticism? No, I absolutely do not.
