Cops in backwoods america don't have a documented tradition of keeping young boys as sex slaves for example.

I think you're missing the point here.

-paved roads
-electricity
-men/women in western dress
-women getting an education
-the sexes mixing
-consumer goods
-cars
-higher education
-modern architecture
-western medicine

What I'm saying is that those photo series are in no way a representation of what Afghanistan was like outside of a tiny, tiny fraction of the country. While not 100% of the US was Times Square, the vast majority of the country had access to most things that one would see in a New York photo essay.

Islamization culturally was a thing started by the Iranian Revolution.

The Taliban style of Islamism is a Wahhabi Salafist import, right down to the monument destruction and total seclusion of women. Iranian style Islamism is actually pretty mellow compared to Salafism.


But if you were a middle class, educated Afghan there was a brief window there that was pretty cool.

shia islamism is more palatable to the west than sunni islamism, in general, because sunnis are twats generally.

They're the christian equivalent of a fundamentalist southern baptist christian versus like a methodist or anglican.

Have they disappeared anyone notable yet? I know they've extended the detention without charge to 30 days so the world's media will have stopped watching, but there must have been some snatch teams out bagging undesirables by now, right?

Erdogan setup a phone number for AKP supporters in other countries to call in with the names of suspected Gulenists in their host countries, you know, for reasons.

http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&artikel=6480045

In addition, the Bil School in Stuttgart, Germany, a Gulenist private school, was placed under police protection and surveillance after men waving Turkish flags showed up just after the coup attempt, threatening to burn it down. There's also been reports of intimidation within the Turkish immigrant community from AKP supporters. So, this stuff is leaving Turkey and happening in Europe as well.

Nah, they can just reuse the ones they've got. A few notes on IS methods, a quick adjustment to their laws, a bit more raping the prisoners they currently have, and then they can execute them for taking it and being gay in defiance of Islam. Clear those barns right out.

The other half will be guarding the barn.

A few days ago in the Russian news there was a report that due to the lack of officers-not-in-prison Turkey started to give important posts to the officers who planned a coup in 2003.
Well, allegedly planned

"This included the case that the original Sledgehammer document, claimed to have been produced in 2003, was actually created using Microsoft Word 2007."

It seems every other day, the New York Times publishes an op-ed from Istanbul calling for Gulen's extradition. Nobody buys it in the comments section except other Turks posing there.

Turns out the conspirators had a suspiciously high number of $1 notes, and the authorities believe that the letters and the numbers on them indicated a person's position in the coup's hierarchy. The also think that Gulen chanted over the notes before sending them to Turkey.

Maybe there's more insanity, I've only seen a translated summary.

The Germans need to arrest and deport them immediately. gently caress paying for extra police shifts, cheaper to toss them out and ban them for life.
