...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms.

'The decision by the European Court of Justice on headscarf in the workplace is another blow to the rights of Moslem women with headscarf and will play right into the hands of those warmongers against Islam in Europe,' Ibrahim Kalin tweeted.

The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that companies can ban employees wearing religious or political symbols if firms 'desire to pursue a policy of political, philosophical and religious neutrality with regard to its customers or users'.

The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement Sunday that the latest decision came as 'Islamophobia, racism and hatred that have taken Europa

Erdogan's government often criticizes Western institutions for what it says are attacks on Moslem citizens' rights.
