Read Time:58 Second
If Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc has his way Turkish women wouldn’t be permitted to laugh in public or talk on the phone. Turkey’s deputy leader doesn’t like it when women laugh in public, but he’s caused plenty of hilarity across the country. In a widely mocked speech attacking “moral corruption,” the Muslim fundamentalist said, according to the Hurriyet Daily News: The woman will not laugh in public. She will not be inviting in her attitudes and will protect her chasteness.
He also called for Turkish people to spend more time reading the Koran, reports USA Today. he said,
After his speech, literally hundreds of Turkish women took to social media to share photos of themselves laughing in public, using hashtags like #direnkahkaha, which means “resist, laugh.” Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s main rival in August’s election, was quick to counter the deputy leader’s remarks, the Independentreports. “We need to hear the happy laughter of women,” he said. Other opposition leaders suggest countering all of Arinc’s remarks with laughter—and point out that his own party has spent the last 12 years governing the country he says is in moral collapse.

More religious bullshit. I only regret that I will be long gone when this silliness is no longer part of society.
more misogynist bull**** cloaked in religion by a coward who refuses to own his own bull****.
i do what i do and say what i say in MY name and then only hope that i am seeing it HIS way. a copout is a copout whoever’s name you’re copping to.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was right when he said, “Extremists are always wrong.”
What’s happened to the GOP since then? Oops, they’ve become extremists.
