Ofcourse no one should force others to be like themselves, however still it doesnt give you right to insult Turkish peoples beliefs and values.
I never insulted anyone/anything its just most people in Turkey dont want the Sharia.
(thats also a reason why Erdogan never speaks about it)
And if the Sharia would be made law it would force those beliefs on all people.

sir, Afaik sharia is only for muslims, if you are non-muslim you wont have to deal with it.

ottomans ruled muslims with sharia but non-muslims had their own courts they could even drink alcohol

True story
 
i dont have to prove anything, personally you are the last person i would ever talk to about any topic let alone religion, anyway your statement is just your opinion/ignorance if you have serious question you could ask a scholar or read some books about the matter

i mean if i have pain in teeth i will go to see a dentist

if my car doesnt work well i'll go to a car mechanic

if you have questions or doubt about religion you need to read some several books about the matter or see some scholar

you dont go out attacking peoples standarts and values on the net
As much as i agree that people should respect one another, what many Islamic states implement as 'sharia', is their version of it; just check out Saudi Arabia, and then go check how Pakistan has implemented it. It is easy to say 'oh sharia is what the kuran says' an disregard other dynamic. What legionairE is saying, is easily arguable, when you look at the Saudis and Gulf states; Do you think an old man should get whipped for carrying home made wine, or should a thieves hand be cut off, or a rape victim being charged of adultery? Let me Highlight this, i'm referring to the current 'saudis sharia'.

What would your interpretation be? Also who decides the correct version? I'm sure, if someone told a saudi that there version is incorrect they would tell that person to fuk off.

I don't know if im making myself clear enough.

Come to the dark side son, the force is strong here

:rofl:

I wanted HDP to go under 10% :(

Alhamdulilah for AKP win :)

But yeah, imagine AKP with 370/550 seats :D

In Urdu we say, "Whatever happens, happens for a good/noble reason"...

So hopefully the results of this elections with bring nothing but best for Turkey!

Hopefully there is peace and prosperity in Turkey and across Muslim World.

I don't really go into politics but my reasons for them not reaching the 10% are different. It would not have bothered me if they lost votes to a party other than AKP, all I want is for them to lose. If they had not achieved 10% of the vote then I think relations between western-northern Turks would have improved greatly with the Turks in the South East. Unfortunately HDP still got a good amount of votes so the trust issue with south eastern Turks continues.
 
No offense but you don't know what's going on.

1- The U.S didn't do any air strike the first weeks or even Months instead they ask the Iraqis to solve their problem!!! in that situation they want Iraqis to solve their problem they didn't make any move until Imam Sistani call for Jihad against takfirees this way they felt that if they don't move they are not only lose Iraq but they loose even more than that. It's not the U.S as you think it's the millions of Iraqis who volunteered to fight isis.

Maybe you are right and I don't know what's going on, but few things I undertstood .

After that weeks US collect his partners to gather around them to strike ISIS. Without these airstrikes Ayn al Arab and maybe many other cities in Iraq would have fallen. And if you really need millions to defeat a few ten thousands, than that's more than I can say.

Turkey election: Erdogan win boosts stocks and lira
Unexpected majority victory for ruling AK party spawns relief rally

YESTERDAY

Turkey’s currency vaulted to three-month peaks against the dollar and the euro while its equity market rose more than 5 per cent on Monday after a clear and unexpected victory by the ruling AK party in Sunday’s national elections.

Victory comes just five months after the AK party lost its parliamentary majority.Recep Tayyip Erdogan, president, had gambled on resurgent support by calling for fresh elections.

“The electoral results in Turkey were completely unexpected — by us, by all major polling companies and by the vast majority of observers,” said Ilan Solot at Brown Brothers Harriman. “The outcome is positive for the country’s stability in the short to medium term, and asset prices have reacted accordingly.”

A classic post-election relief rally for Turkish assets accelerated early on Monday, with the lira rising 2.9 per cent against the dollar to TL2.8309, and 2.7 per cent against the euro to TL3.1186.

Istanbul’s benchmark stock index, the BIST 100, closed up 5.4 per cent to 83,693.61, its highest level since June.

But many emerging market analysts expressed concerns about how long the rally could last.

“The short-term [market] reaction is positive — relief that the political uncertainty over who is going to govern Turkey is over, and that in uncertain times on the security front, that it is back to a tried and tested formula,” said Tim Ash, analyst at Nomura.

“And there’s no question who dominates Turkish politics: it remains Tayyip Recep Erdogan.”

But the election result was unlikely to wipe out any of the big stresses on Turkish markets, and could take away some of the weak impetus for the central bank to conduct currency-supporting interest-rate rises.

The benchmark 10-year bond yield fell 36 basis points to 9.18 per cent, but borrowing costs remain very high.

“The risk of a defensive rate hike by the [central bank] is now significantly reduced,” said Gabor Ambrus, economist at RBS.

“The external environment remains challenging too, and it is still broadly EM negative. The Chinese slowdown, the potential for monetary policy tightening in the US and a broadly stronger dollar all represent important external headwinds for Turkey.”

Still, the short-term reaction may have room to run. Roxana Hulea, strategist at Société Générale, said: “The sweeping win and the resulting fast-track (and long-overdue) formation of a stable government could allow a shortlived test of TL2.72 in the dollar, and further outperformance in the lira relative to its high-yielding peers (notably the South African rand).”

Despite Mr Erdogan’s fierce opposition to interest rate rises — he once accused the central bank of treason for maintaining high rates — the bank has been relatively hawkish in recent days.

Last week Erdem Basci, its governor, raised inflation forecasts for this year and next amid persistent currency weakness, and said higher interest rates might be needed once the US Federal Reserve began to tighten rates.
