ANKARA, Turkey - A Turkish prosecutor has launched a probe into
whether a book by best-selling atheist writer Richard Dawkins is an
attack on religious values - a move that could lead to the prosecution
of the book's Turkish publisher.
Publisher Erol Karaaslan said Wednesday he would be questioned by an
Istanbul prosecutor on Thursday as part of the official investigation
into Dawkins' book, "The God Delusion.''
Karaaslan could face trial and up to one year in prison if the
prosecutor concludes that the book "incites religious hatred" and
insults religious values, Milliyet newspaper reported. Karaaslan is
both the publisher and translator of the book.

Islam is a religion of peace.
They'll kill anyone who claims otherwise.

Turkey is sliding toward Araby. I think secular Turkey is in grave danger.
What's to be done to stop it?
