#Austria 🇦🇹wants to end EU-accession talks with #Turkey 🇹🇷 .

Considering Turkey's see-saw evolution on #democracy and #ruleoflaw & its position on religious matters , I agree.

My periodisk objections:
1) 🇹🇷 fails to qualify as a democracy
2) 🇹🇷 acceps no diversity, cf its treatment of Kurds & other minorities
3) Religion should not mix with politics. Looking at e.g. how 🇹🇷 society reacts to #quranburning in 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 ....

While I think people who burn a quran are idiots, WHY would religions get more protection than other value frameworks, e.g. #HumanRights?

Why would burning a quran be a criminal offence, but e.g. burning a #LGTBQ flag not?

A question for the #Sunna's of the #prophet (SLWASLM 😁),

Who permitted #Othman Ibn A'ffan to consolidate the #Quran ?

And who permitted him to #BURN the rest of the books (mushaf/ masahif), along with it are a bunch of #Holy_Verses that are burned too, just as is stated in #Sahih_Al_Bukhari, one of your major correct books in "Sunnah" and Islam.

And why didn't your prophet consolidate it? Where was he? Was he having a stroke?

Where are your Shiekhs for debate !?

Muslims must turn the other cheek

It must be possible to joke and satirize Jesus, but the same must also apply to Mohammed, says 🇸🇪 KD (Christian Democrats) leader Ebba Busch.
Good to have a Christian leader say NO to religious exceptions.

Busch (KD) i Aktuellt: ”Man måste kunna skämta om religion”

Det måste vara möjligt att skämta och göra satir om Jesus, men detsamma måste även gälla Mohammed. Det menar Kristdemokraternas Ebba Busch, som i Aktuellt diskuterar kontentan av sitt sommartal som berörde koranbränningarna.
