At a time when riots are breaking out in Sweden, when Buddhists are killing Muslims in Burma, and when the French stage large anti-gay marriage protests, it is refreshing to read that Istanbul was the site of a huge demonstration protesting development in the city’s only downtown park.
The Times reported that one banner read: “Don’t touch our neighborhoods, our squares, our trees, our water, our soil, our homes, our villages, our cities and our parks.”
We could use that one for our anti-fracking demonstrations.
