“-Know your place, you bastard.
-You’re the real pervert.
-The jester has crossed the line.
-The pervert has become limitless.
-Great reaction to arrogant language.
-There was an arrest for arrogance”.
These news headlines took place in various organs of the pro-media yesterday.
It’s not new, it’s been happening all the time.
Someone pushes the button, a word that an artist, a politician, an academician, a journalist said months or even years ago suddenly makes headlines, special programs are organized on pro-TV channels, and the person who says that word begins to be lynched.
From Politician to Religious
The rest is known.
“Being taken from his house at midnight or in the middle of the day without any notice, investigation by the prosecutor’s office at the speed of a jet, arresting with no time to breathe!..
The singer is the last victim of this scenario, which we have witnessed from time to time, which has once again polarized the society. Gulsen.
For one person during a concert he gave in April ‘Imam Hatip read it, his perversion comes from there’ says a word.
At that time, there was no sound, four months passed, and all of a sudden there was chaos.
From the Minister of National Education, from the Minister of Justice to the President of Religious Affairs, from AKP spokespersons to some AKP warriors, from associations that are sworn supporters of the AKP, to side newspapers as I mentioned above. “lynching campaign” is starting.
And Gülşen is arrested.
Gülşen was arrested on 25 August for her words about imam hatip followers.
His clip has been watched two hundred million times
Gülşen’s debut was in 1996. ‘Be Man’ with his song.
in 2004 ‘Of… of’ takes a big step forward with his song.
“Golden Butterfly and Kral TV Video Music Award wins”.
in 2013 ‘Can You Stop Me’ He becomes the best-selling singer of the year with his album.
Several of his songs stay at number one on the official charts for weeks.
While being the most watched Turkish singer on You Tube in 2015, “Being the first Turkish singer whose video clip was watched over two hundred million” attains the title.
He has won six Golden Butterfly Awards and nine King Turkey Music Awards.
Briefly…
“Hey supporters, hey power holders!..
Gülşen, whom you lynched and imprisoned because of a sentence she said, is a brilliant artist, beloved of millions!..”
Art – nat – out…
Do you understand?..
Prayer and stick and murder
In a country where those who commit femicide are ‘released for good behavior’, those who rape children are released, those who make fun of religion are made ambassadors, and allegations of corruption are glossed over…
There is no freedom of expression, no interference with lifestyle. And this is getting worse now.
“There is no freedom of expression, but this does not apply to everyone.
For example, those who smoke an imam named Halil Konakçı and a theologian named Ebubekir Sifil are not valid”.
The idea of mind of both of them is ‘on the stick’.
The imam named Halil Konakçı, this person is nobody anymore:
‘Those who do not pray should be clubbed’.
The person named Ebubekir Sifil, who is nobody anymore, goes further:
‘One who does not pray is blamed, beaten, and if he continues, he will be killed’.
I have a common question to these two:
“As Konakçı, if you are an imam and Sifil, if you are a theologian, in which verse, in which surah, in which hadith it is written that those who do not pray can be beaten or even killed?
-If you are an imam, if you are a theologian, if you know religion well, tell me, where is it written?..
I also have a question for prosecutors:
‘Do not these people who say that those who do not pray can be beaten or even killed insult those who do not pray?..
Will they be prosecuted for insulting the public under the Penal Code?
If the justification of “insulting the public” within the framework of the Penal Code is valid for Gülşen, who was arrested, is it invalid for these two people?..
If invalid, why?..
Timing of lynching and arrest
The timing of Gülşen’s lynching and arrest is, as always, purely political maneuvering.
“Producer prices in agricultural products are going up to 150 percent. It is easy for the prices of food products to exceed one hundred percent in the coming period.
Turkey is the second country in the world that has suffered the greatest loss of welfare in the last ten years. It is even behind Libya and Syria, which could not save themselves from the civil war. Even some underdeveloped countries of Africa and Asia are better than Turkey in terms of welfare.
The deep economic crisis that affects all segments is getting deeper”.
In addition, social disorders, violence in various fields, unrest, environmental destruction have reached the ceiling.
While we can talk about these things, throw Gülşen in, try to make her forget the problems!..
But nobody forgets.
Gulsen in the match
He doesn’t forget so much…
At the time of Gülşen’s arrest…
In Istanbul “Fenerbahce – Rapid Vienna match” there is.
What are the audience doing when they get the news that Gülşen has been arrested?
While watching the match…
“Fenerbahce is scoring goals, the audience is in favor of Gülşen. ‘Love at Home, Love in the World’ sings her song.
Fenerbahce scores, spectators ‘Turkey is secular, will remain secular’ shouts the slogan”.
The reaction to this lawlessness and injustice is reflected even in the matches today.
Have no doubt, that reaction will be reflected in the ballot box tomorrow and the suffering of millions of people will come to an end.
This order of suffering will go away, never to come again.
