Here is a strong indication of Erdogan’s re-Islamization of Turkey. Feyza Altun thought she could publicly register her disdain for Sharia without fear of consequences. She knows better now.
“Turkish Religious Authority Seeks Lawyer’s Prosecution for ‘Insulting Islam,’” by Hamdi Firat, Balkan Insight, February 20, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Turkish religious authority, Diyanet, filed a criminal complaint accusing well-known lawyer Feyza Altun of insulting religious values after she strongly criticised Islamic law on social media.
Turkish public broadcaster TRT reported on Tuesday that the Turkish religious authority, Diyanet, has filed a criminal complaint against lawyer Feyza Altun, who is already under investigation and was briefly detained because of a comment she made on social media about sharia (Islamic law).
“Diyanet filed a criminal complaint against lawyer Feyza Altun on the grounds that she ‘insulted religious values’ on her social media account,” TRT wrote.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office had already launched an investigation on Monday into whether Altun was responsible for “inciting people to hatred and hostility”.
Altun was taken into police custody on Monday after religious and Islamist groups targeted her on social media, calling for her arrest, but she was released on Tuesday under a court order.
Under the terms of her release, Altun must present herself at a police station twice a week and has been banned from travelling abroad.
“For two nights, I struggled with thousands of tweets from people who said they would put me to the sword and that I would become their concubine,” Altun told media in front of the court after she was released.
Some social media users targeted Altun for insulting sharia in a post on X on February 18 in which she wrote “F**k sharia” in response to another user. Altun deleted the post after facing a backlash.
“May Allah put her in his hell. Arrest Feyza Altun,” Ahmet Mahmut Unlu, also known as Cubbeli Ahmet Hoca, a well-known fundamentalist Muslim preacher wrote on X on Monday….

A statement all principled lawyers should make when dealing with sharia.
Kilauea says
For a religion that claims to be the absolute truth, founded by the last prophet, it is a little over sensitive about criticism.
David says
Yes. Maybe we should call it “Islamic Fragility” 🙂 It’s as if, deep down inside, they know their sharia system is based on worthless hadiths.
Jerome from Layton says
Don’t forget the Inquisition in Europe [13th to 19th century] or the Martyrs of Japan [1600s Tokugawa]. Established religions tend to have thin skins.

I hope she manages to stay safe and the knuckle dragging Muslim savages don’t get to her. Her comment, “Fuck sharia” is spot on. Sharia is a load of barbaric garbage that is fit only for knuckle dragging primitives not for enlightened, civilised human beings. “Fuck islam” which is also, in toto, only fit for primitive, unevolved barbarians in endless different ways. islam has been holding back human progress towards decent, civilised behaviour for far too long and needs to become extinct.

“Down with pederasty!”
An Islamist replies: “You have just blasphemously insulted Islam, you kuffar! Islam permits anal intercourse with young boys, because one description of Hannah says that boys of eternal youth, like ‘scattered pearls’ will wait on you!”
How dare anyone criticize Bacha Bazi as well!
tim gallagher says
Yes, islam is nothing but a completely degenerate load of garbage in endless different ways, Mike. It is totally inompatible with civilised and moral behaviour. To me, it truly seems to have been devised by incredibly evil men who made up this bullshit notion that there is a god, this allah thing they made up, who says that whatever evil behaviours they want to engage in are all quite OK. This woman in this report sees islam as I do. I concur with her view of islam, “Fuck sharia” and Fuck islam”, this completely evil religious ideology.. Unfortunately, the Muslim scum will probably try to kill her, in their usual way, for the rest of her life for showing islam the lack of respect that it deserves..
Ernie says
+ 1 : ” Fuck islam , fuck sharia , fuck muhammad the pretender “prophet” and fuck allah “. Mmmmmmmmmm , satisfying !
Ernie says
And fuck Erdogan ,hahaha ! Do I have the intention to insult ? Yes !
tim gallagher says
I share your sentiments, Ernie. islam, sharia, allah, muhammad and Erdogan deserve no respect at all, that’s for sure. islam is full of murderous hatred for all of us non-Muslims, so it deserves no respect from any non-Muslims. Throw in all the other Muslim leaders as well, not just Erdogan.
James Lincoln says
And, just think: Turkey is a member of NATO.
Infideltoo says
No Islamic country should ever be a member of NATO or trusted as an ally of the US or any other non Muslim country.
Jerome from Layton says
They have both the F-35 and the Buk-400 SAM system. What could possibly go wrong?
OLD GUY says
If the F-bomb was deadly Islam would be in trouble, however words seldom slow down or stop a perpetrator and that is what Islamic followers are. It will take more the saying F— Islam to stop it, Israel is doing what it takes to rid itself of the sickness called islam. Support Israel and legislation to stop the migration invasion of the west.
Ernie says
Hahaha , OLD GUY , you’re right , and I support Israël and legislation to stop the migration/invasion of The West wholeheartedly . Sometimes I need a good laugh , and enjoy insulting islam and moslims very much…hahaha….
