Many shopkeepers and their families defended Kingsland Road in Dalston over the past two nights after rioters went on a rampage in Hackney. Hundreds reportedly gathered to protect their businesses and properties, alledgedly carrying broken billiard cues for protection. “They created a barrier and chased the kids back,” Burcu Bay, who works as a waitress at Tugra, a Turkish sweet shop and cafe on Dalston’s main thoroughfare, was quoted as saying by The Wall Street Journal today. “It was like being in a war.” Many members of the Dalston and wider Hackney community have shared their support for the shopkeepers on Twitter. Some commented that we should now be shopping in the grocery stores to show our support. “Thank Turk It’s Saturday” encourages people in Dalston to pay back the shopkeepers by giving them custom. www.facebook.com Hundreds of people arrested on suspicion of taking part in England’s wave of riots and looting have been appearing in court. Magistrates in several cities sat throughout the night because of the backlog of cases, often involving teenagers. Police in London say nearly 900 people have been arrested,with more than 370 charged. The capital’s mayor, Boris Johnson, stressed the authorities would remain alert. A huge police presence and rain in some areas prevented a fifth successive night of violence. With up to 16000 police on the streets, London saw little trouble, with one or two exceptions. Officers are due to be out in similar numbers again tonight

Before the Nazi’s slaughtered 6 million Jews, before the Khmer Rouge killed 1.7 million of their fellow Cambodians, before Rwandan Hutus killed 800000 ethnic Tutsis, the Armenians of Turkey endured mass slaughter at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. The centuries of Turkish rule reduced Asia Minor, the epicenter of western civilization and Christendom, into a bloody Islamic cesspool which culminated in a genocide by Turks against Armenian and Greek Christian populations. The Armenian Genocide, occurred when 2 million Armenians living in Turkey were eliminated from their historic homeland through forced deportation and massacres by the Turks. As Turkish authorities forced them out of eastern Turkey, Armenians say they lost 1.5 million people in 1915-23, during and after World War I. Turkey says the death count is inflated and that the deaths were a result of civil unrest. To this day Turkey denies the Armenian genocide, but history cannot be hidden or rewritten. Even Adolf Hitler cited the killing of the Armenians as a precedent for his own slaughter of the Jews two decades later. “Kill without mercy!” the Nazi leader told his military on the eve of the Holocaust. “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

“Awful scenes around Gaza but the people on the Turkish ships sailing to Gaza should thank the Lord they weren’t on an Israeli boat trying to break Turkish law. They would have been massacred. If you doubt me, ask the Kurds or the Armenians; the genocide of the latter (pictured above), of course, still denied by the Turks. Oh, and the Turks built a moqsue over the most important church in Eastern Orthodoxy and refuse to do anything about it. And closed down a Catholic seminary only a few years ago and will not reopen it. And invade foreign countries, also recently, and slaughter tens of thousands. I’m all for condemning Israel when it’s appropriate but I hate double standards. The Israelis gave the activists exactly what they wanted. Sad all round.”

Speaking Kurdish language is a criminal offense in Turkish parliament. Leyla Zana 1991 she became the first Kurdish woman to win a seat in the Turkish parliament. She created a scandal when she spoke the Kurdish language on the floor of the parliament after being sworn in, as speaking Kurdish in the public arena is a criminal offense in Turkey.[1] The Kurdish language, even when spoken in private, had been illegal for decades in Turkey.[1] Only in that year, 1991, was the Kurdish language finally legalized, though speaking Kurdish remained illegal in public spaces, as Zana was sworn in.[1] Her remarks ended, I swear by my honor and my dignity before the great Turkish people to protect the integrity and independence of the State, the indivisible unity of people and homeland, and the unquestionable and unconditional sovereignty of the people. I swear loyalty to the Constitution. I take this oath for the brotherhood between the Turkish people and the Kurdish people.[2] Only the final sentence of the oath was spoken in Kurdish: “I take this oath for the brotherhood between the Turkish people and the Kurdish people.”[2]
