First of all how much do you know about Turkish Universities? 99% Muslim, yeah right...
Ok lets say 100% but still about 10-20% at max. are practising muslims hence still waste of money when there is allready a masjid in there.
And secondly read the point that is being made here before jumping in with foam in your mouth.
Offcourse, there should be more investment in education, science, computer labs, science labs, in general student body, research and so on.
This should be done throughout Turkey.
But what a retarded way to show this important point by having a petition to open "Buddhist" center or Jedi temple whatever.
I know enough about Turkey to know that idiot, hippy like secularists are absolute minority in Turkey and there ways have caused the Muslim majority of Turkey to take things into their own hands and guide the political and public policy of the nation.
Wasn't one Turkish prime-minister was toppled because he said Azan (call to prayer) can be made in Public in Arabic (A tradition of Islamic World since the dawn of Islam. Followed throughout Islamic World globally)...
Secularists are a folk of petty issues and no vision.
In order to make a good point, you don't need to be sarcastic. They should have started the petition and asking for more funding for research/labs/students instead of mosque and should have gave solid reasons as to why mosque isn't necessary.
But oh, the idiot ultra-seculars from elite of Turkey do what they always do. Embarrass themselves and have the world laughing at them...
