The army is scared of EU and they do not to interfere for that. However, the democracy system in Jordan is not bad. I think it is too early to have full democracy like in west. Ahmad Al-Sholi

Just a quick comment on what you said about mocking Islam, criticizing a religous man is not mocking his religion- whatever it is-. I see some pastors or priests who are nutjobs even criminals and I don't hesitate to criticize them, and I'm sure there are a few sheikhs who come up with crazy ideas and they should not get away with it just for being sheikhs. Sometimes the people who appear to be the most protective of a religion are the people hurting it the most. Ahmed Al-Tafili,

The problem that it was not chosen by people as the military always backed it up. In fact, this was the first time that the army did not stretch their muscles! They used to coup any party or candidate that opposed them. Imagine an army being a guardian of a political system??? I would not consider as stable and democratic :) Turkey definitely improved since the 1930s when secularism took over.

I am also interested in Turkey and how government makes balance between the Islamic values and secular system. i wish we have system like that in Arab world where there is democracy and freedom of speech . I support freedom before support Islamic values to apply on my society. When there is freedom, i will enjoy more for being Muslim. And know my religion better. There are more than 20 million Muslims who live in secular systems and they haven’t got big problem for practicing their religion Our problem is old traditions which do not respect basic things for human.

However, I agree with the content of that fatwa, a suicide is a suicide, and sometimes pedistrians make mistakes, not all can be drivers' mistakes. The one thing I would like to add is that secularism is not to be attcked broadly. Digest secular as civil, secular system introduce laws that are tied with democracy. Laws that regulate people lives and not their beliefs. I am accountable infront my society based on laws that regulate our shared society. Beliefs and background vary, religions help many people be better people yet they can not be a ground for social agreed upon standards. Secularism is not as bad, Turkey is just a version of it.
