1. Turkey bans biologist Richard Dawkins' website

Apologies, Fanusi. I haven't had much time to post here, but I was thinking of two comments in particular... The first two you made in this thread of comments, about Muslims contributing nothing to society and London and Berlin becoming the next Constantinople.

If anything, I thought the comment by "SunbeamforJesus" would be more likely to be taken down. That was the most offensive one... Even if the intention wasn't explicitly racist, it's a damn shame no one even highlighted it out of the other ones. That, along with the ones from Fanusi were particularly inflamatory. I guess no one wanted to say anything because they thought he might be from the Middle East? Bah, nevermind.

I'd also like to echo other posters on the fact that this should have the least impact on deciding whether Turkey joins the EU.

As for someone who asked if any other EU country has done this: Yeah, France just recently blocked websites that advertise wine. Such a shame... Apparently both the UK and the US block websites that show paedophilic and necrophiliac content, with BT even blocking 4chan for a while. They usually just show "404" or "405" so no one suspects foul play. Though there are a few tools to check whether it's down for you or for everyone.

4. The absurd world of Martin Amis

No true Scotsman, followed by a paranoid claim that it's "Islamists" who are the terrorists. What kind of horrible journalism is this? Come on, subscribe to a view, not, well, "hyperactive modernism" or some such. He tries to maintain the media hobby of claiming Islam as a scary thread taking over the world at the same time as maintaining their method is correct, as not to offend the slightly "spiritual" readers?
