Actually Turkey was one of the muslim countries I've lived in (quite a lenient one) as it happens! I lived in Istanbut and although Armenians have a Church there its still not that tolerant of other religions. As you say in the eyes of muslims they count my son as muslim as his father was one (thats equality for you!!) so its best I don't let them know. Actually thinking of changing my sons name although its not a muslim name, it does sound Turkish, I know the muslims on this site think we're over reacting but the thought of muslims having any sort of say in our laws etc is absolutely terrifying. Probably more so for me as woman, but what about lesbians and homosexuals, God help them if muslim have their way. Anyway keep up your good work!!
