Turks Hate Atheists More Than Jews
According to a new study which apparently asked Turks who they would or would not want as a neighbor, 75% said no to atheists. Tied with atheists are "people who drink alcohol." So basically if you are an atheist who drinks alcohol, you'd be a real pariah in Turkey. Jews were second in the most did not want as neighbors category, with 64% not wanting to live near them.

What they left out is that Turks do not want to be neighbors of other Turks. 95.7% of all Turks are would rather live next to an atheist than a Turk. Siting that most Turks are ignorant of science, and when they need someone to stone. It is always best to have an atheist handy.
ReplyDeleteI can sort of see the reaction to people who drink, if you assume that drinking means wild parties, people urinating on your lawn, and general disturbances next door. But atheists? I mean, an atheist in Turkey probably keeps his mouth shut and tries to be as inoffensive and invisible as possible.
