And what does that mean Dennis? If you think Marx and Engels are correct then you have to believe organized religion is a sham. That still doesn't make you an atheist, just someone who believes they don't need a church to have a relationship with God. I always wondered where all the far right lunatics hung out. I think I've come across the mother lode.
How ignorant are you? Turkey has been a member of NATO for a long time and they held up their end of the bargain helping us contain the USSR. Unlike many other NATO members, Turkey actually spent more of its GDP on the military than allies like Britan, Netherlands, even Germany.
You're probably one of those koolaid drinkers who think Saddam plotted 9-11 and all 19 of the hijackers were Iraqis. Lay off the bottle.
Muslims in Turkey certainly don't have a problem with Christians or anyone else visiting their mosque. You're splitting hairs, what was Constantinople is now Istanbul. Go to Spain and you'll see all the mosques the Moors built after they invaded. The Spaniards turned them into churches when they drove them out. Does that mean they desecrated them? Depends on your point of view.
I've hated idiots like you for alot longer. The only policy I agreed with when Bush was in office was taking out the Taliban, but even he screwed that up when he outsourced the job of capturing Bin Laden to locals who looked the other way as he marched down the mountain and into Pakistan.
You're the disgrace for voting Republican and for using the words you do to describe the leader of our nation.
