One for the anti-Islam crowd out there
There's been massive protests in Turkey over the creeping influence of Islam in their currently-secular government. Over 300,000 people peacefully staged a protest in Ankara, hoping to help keep Turkey secular.
Turkey, which is almost entirely Muslim. Wikipedia says 99.0%; the CIA says 99.8%.
Just another thing to point out whenever certain people (not that I have anyone in mind, especially not anyone who failed to engage in debate the other day in the cafeteria, cough cough) say that all Muslims favor extremism or you never hear the Muslim community denouncing terrorism/Sharia law/etc.

Yes well, I feel there are plenty of nice, peaceful Muslims out there, they just choose to stay home and watch TV much of the time.
Bravo for Turkey.
And how did I fail to engage you in debate? I probably was too busy ignoring your anti-male slurs... ;)
