Huge rally for Turkish secularism
Read the full 29 April 2007 article on BBC News.
Lead: "Hundreds of thousands of people have rallied in Istanbul in support of secularism in Turkey, amid a row over a vote for the country's next president. The protesters are concerned that the ruling party's candidate for the post remains loyal to his Islamic roots."
Comment: This follows naturally on my last posting. The clash now in Turkey is importantly between the knowledge system of a world religion, and that of those who prefer a modern secular nation and secular knowledge systems in political, educational, economic, legal and other institutions. JAD
