Islamistenes humorløshet kjenner ingen grenser. Det later til å være en krypende besettelse. Man begynner å legge merke til alt som ikke burde vært og oppdager at man kan bruke lov og rett til å fjerne det man ikke liker. Som Simpsons. I landet Tyrkia som fremholdes som en modell, får en TV-kanal 30.000 dollar i bot for å vise Homer!

Earlier this month Turkey’s media watchdog fined a television channel about $30,000 for broadcasting episodes of “The Simpsons” that mocked God by, among other things, depicting God serving Satan a cup of coffee. The Turkish media reported that “The Simpsons” had also come under scrutiny for showing scenes in which copies of the Bible are burned and for encouraging youth to drink alcohol.

Vigilante er en del av islamismen. En MP fra AKP var den som først foreslo en lov mot pervers fremstilling av historiske fakta, inklusive personer. Velkommen til landet uten kunst og kultur.

a member of parliament from his Justice and Development party, Oktay Saral, said last week that he was seeking a new law banning the soap opera. The law, he said, aimed to forbid historical figures from being humiliated and to prevent the “perversion” of the facts, The Hurriyet Daily News reported. It would also cover fiction.

The newspaper said Mr. Saral had justified the proposed ban on the grounds that the show – which depicts the Sultan cavorting with women and drinking alcohol — flouted the values of the Turkish family and morality. He said that his push for the law predated the prime minister’s objections and was in response to longstanding complaints from the Turkish public.

The latest move against the series, which features sumptuous costumes and sets and attracts a third of the prime-time audience in Turkey, comes amid a growing culture war between the governing party, which has Islamic roots, and the country’s more secular purveyors of culture in film and television.
