Otosansür

Bilimsel şüphecilik ilkesi sebebiyle (ve yalnızca bu sebeple); İslamiyet'in Sünni mezhebinin Gülen cemaatince yorumlanmış versiyonunun, kabul gördüğü kadar muhteşem olmama ihtimalinin yok sayılması, bazı durumlarda, doğru bilgiye erişmekte sorunlara yol açabilir.

Bu nedir? Bu budur.

Muhalif görüşleri sebebiyle tutuklanan

veya işten atılma korkusuyla görüşlerini açıklayamayan

tüm gazetecilere yoldaşça selamlarımızla.

Autocensorship

Due to the scientific scepticist method (and only because of that); we would like to highlight that the ignorance of the probability that the Gülen movement's interpretation of the Sunni fraction of Islam may not be as wonderful as found by many, might cause, in some situations, tiny difficulties in reaching correct information.

What is this? This is this.

Our salutations to all the journalist

who are in jail because of their critical opinions

or who cannot declare their opinions because of the fear of getting fired.

Dinden özgürlük

Bu yazı, halkın bir kesiminin benimsediği dini değerleri alenen aşağılama içermektedir ve dolayısıyla Türk Ceza Kanunu'nun 216. maddesi gereği altı aydan bir yıla kadar hapis cezasına tabidir.

Bu nedir? Bu budur.

Greener Nautilus'a, Ekşisözlük'ün cesur yazarlarına ve tüm ateistlere yoldaşça selamlarımızla.

Freedom from religion

This essay openly denigrates the religious values of a part of the population and is therefore subject to a sentence of imprisonment from six months to one year according to the Article 216 of the Turkish Penal Code.

What is this? This is this.

Our salutations to Greener Nautilus, the brave contributors of Ekşisözlük, and all other atheist comrades.

Absurd Opposition in Absurdlawland

Had tea with your ex or with your flat-mates? So you held “a reunion of an armed organization”.


Published news criticizing the government? So you “incited enmity and hatred among the population”.


Have lemons in your bags? So you are about to “participate in an illegal demonstration”.


Wrote “No to drugs, Devlis¹” on a wall? So you make “propaganda for an illegal organization”.


Keep saving the lighters you continue buying because you forget to take one with you? So you are a usual suspect “out of the usual course of life” and therefore a “member of an organization”.


Criticized religion on the Internet? So you “openly denigrated the religious values of the population”.


Associated against sexism? So you want to found an “association against public morality”.


Had your hair cut? Come on, what have you done to take such an effort for not getting identified, confess!


Opened a banner demanding free education? So you are “a member of an illegal organization”.


Top it all off, did you moreover dance the “ideological folk dances”?












The correlation between act and charge has vanished in Turkey. Let us establish it the other way around!


We will never give up humor – especially, absurd humor – to the hands of the prosecutors and the judges! Not in Turkey, nor anywhere else in the world!
