Post by: kismetbar on September 29, 2013, 12:05:58 PM
It's great that the new square is being used for concerts and the like but, last night? It was horrendous!!!!! Turns out it was a political event with some guy screaming about a jihad and something about yabanci's!!! Worrying times indeed!!!!

That's free speech for you I guess - not the sort of thing for a sleepy backwater holiday area in my opinion though. Sadly nothing surprises me anymore over there.

It was a gay rights gathering apparently?

I suspect it was about the current situation in Syria and the Governments apparent willingness to join in with The USA.

There are radical elements in all countries Ian. They have their moments and the rest of the populace ignore them.

 I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless, he had a hook instead of a hand and wore an eye-patch.

Someone called Pauline on facebook replied to the Calis Beachforum link.  She said:

I think you will find it was in aid of gay rights, look for a documentary called A Jihad For Love, I have tried to paste the link but it is blocked!!!

No idea whether she's correct but it sounded like an informed answer so I thought I'd pass it on.

Well, as somebody who is gay (but not an activist!!) I was not at all comfortable with the tone of the whole evening!! In fact, very intimidating!!!  :(
