I know Turkey is a long way from joining the EU. I happy with their situation. There is something fundamentally wrong with Turkey, something un-European. I need to look no further for truth of this than Turkey's banning of Richard Dawkin's website.
A court in Istanbul ordered that Turk Telekom block access to RichardDawkins.net because Dawkins defames the Islamic creationist book 'Atlas of Creation'. In fact, what Dawkins does is point out the factual errors in the book and then draws the conclusion that the book worthless.
I am at a loss to reconcile the expensive and glossy production values of this book with the breathtaking inanity of the content- Richard Dawkins.
How can Dawkins website be guilty of defamation if there are no lies or falsehoods involved? Read the content for yourself. Dawkins points out item after item of inaccuracy. Turkey is stifling intellectual debate in the name of Islam. It's wrong on so many levels. And, it is further proof that Turkey should not be admitted to the EU.
