[INDENT][I]Hundreds of thousands of Turks flooded central Istanbul on Sunday to demand the resignation of the government, which they fear is leading Turkey toward Islamic rule.

The demonstrators, who numbered at least 300,000, according to police —and up to one million, according to local media — took to the streets following a sharp rise in tension between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government and the country's powerful pro-secular military.

The military accuses the government of tolerating or encouraging the activities of radical Islamic circles.

"Turkey is secular and will remain so," shouted one of the thousands of flag-waving protesters, many of whom travelled to Istanbul from across the country overnight....

Starting in 1923 in the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, Ataturk, a soldier, set about a series of secular reforms that imposed Western laws, replaced Arabic script with the Latin alphabet, banned Islamic dress and granted women the right to vote.

However, the ruling party has supported religious schools and tried to lift the ban on Islamic head scarves in public offices and schools.

Secularists are also uncomfortable with the idea of Gul's wife, Hayrunisa, being in the presidential palace because she wears the traditional Muslim headscarf.

The military, one of the most respected institutions in Turkey, regards itself as the guardian of the secular system and has staged three coups since 1960.[/I][/INDENT]

Now if only they could put that much effort into amending their [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_301_(Turkish_penal_code)]freedom of speech[/url] laws...
