Turkish university students demand Jedi, Buddhist temples amid mosque frenzy

Its nice to see that the Turks have a deeply entrenched sense of religious pluralism; I hope that more ethnic and linguistic pluralism would be embraced as well !

Yeah because there are ethnicities and languages that are forbidden in Turkey.

No I meant that the next step would be to perhaps adopt a more inclusive approach to things; just as I find it irrational when people go 'Ummah' when Muslims are having it rough somewhere....I find it equally irrational when people go Turkic/Turks whenever Turks have it rough somewhere. As if foreign policy decisions based around ethnic/linguistic considerations is anymore a rational thing to do than to base it along religious considerations.

Maybe the next step would be to realize that a modern day nation state doesn't have an ethnicity or doesn't speak a language just as it doesn't have a religion.

@Luffy 500 , instead of just using Pagan, you can use Gentile or Kafir. I heard learning different languages could prevent Dementia and Alzheimer, and boost your IQ.

“I can’t fulfill my religious needs because the closest Buddhist temple is 2,000 kilometers away, and I can’t go there during lunch break,” a petitioner named Utku Gürçağ Borataç said on the website.

I never knew Turkey had Buddhists too! Wow! That's news to me!

Since when did Jedi fiction become a real faith?

There was lots of Jedis in the World and in the Turkey too. But the main problem was that Jedis can't be educated. In our time well educated Jedi knights are decreased day to day. Not educated Padawans basically can't control their power and forced to swap to dark side. Anger mostly causes their death. In purpose of educating new Jedis, the community needs to be together. To control that power, we want Jedi Temples. There will be a Jedi Council in the temple, and we will train and raise new Jedis.

Jediism syncretic!

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

What you call a Ummah are bunch of ignorants without a real goal to reach in this world, meanwhile millions of muslims take care of their own business.

Carry on, stick your nose in others issues, find out whos a real muslim praying 5 times a day and whos a kuffar, because thats the only thing people like you are good for, others are exploring the space, inventing stuff while you are busy with judging people, you guys are doomed to live in middle age forever with this mentality but that isnt really a issue for you because you will be rewarded with jennah...

And one asks whats wrong with muslim world....

You are truly a good man with open-minded thinking, arkadaşım.

Mustafa Kemal would be proud of you. More power and respect to a Turkey that makes thinkers and leaders like you. Respect from India.

Many branches of Buddhist philosophy teaches these very things!!!



Looks like Lucas stole eastern Hindu/Buddhist philosophy and mixed it up so well that it became a separate following in itself through a film!!

the party in power is called "muslim league" .....our countries name is "islamic republic of pakistan"....if that does make pakistan islamic i dont know what does.... and btw moderate parties can be muslim parties as well...not just the extremists lol...

"Islamic" was added by Iskandar Mirza. Iqbal and Jinnah, the two founding fathers, didn't ever name the country "Islamic". The original "muslim league" was a secular, democratic, party. lol.
