Anybody there on the ground? Anyone banging on their pots and pans?

Mr Erdogan is right, Taksim cannot be a place where extremist groups run wild, and wandering about in a state of inebriation.

Watch out for this Wilson character. He is a Salafist, and probably a member of the Brotherhood.

Like his allies who have been banned from here (007 and King Cobra) he follows the teaching of this dude -

More than a few people been on the streets over the last couple of nights, groups seem to be getting bigger, forming just before dusk and letting loose with car horns and banging anything they can get their hands on. local media is not reporting it at all and haven't been able to get any copies of turkish English newspapers esp the pro AK party one today's Zaman.
But will it last until the weekend?

Reap what you sew. Where are all the shipments of arms to assist them?

Chemical werapons ? Sounds to me lika a replay of the WMD in Iraq. Sykes and Picot, not to mention Herzl, must be smiling from their little corners in the Afterworld.
