Do you care? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Mel (United States), Dec 6, 2007 at 21:35

Does us or European public care about it, especially about Turkey. Even putting Turkey on this list is just meaningless and orientalist. Could workers strike in P.R. China: NO, could they set labour unions: NO. Could in Saudi Arabia, people from any religion have any rights whatsoever: NO. But, it is the sweet gum in your mouths, lets talk Turkey. I am aware and know orientalism and occidentalism both are extremely serious mental disorders in the east and west.
