I'm lost bro. What does this have to do with us? Those were the reasons the Turkish protestors and critics are siting. They weren't my assumptions or personal take on the situation.
Frankly, the only half decent counter-argument I have seen so far, to what the protestor and critics are accusing Erdogan of, is that these acts are the hallmarks of any "conservative" government in the west rather than a religious or Islamist one in the ME. And I think that might be what you're saying here. Like I said, it's a decent counter-argument, but personally I find all conservative parties, whether in the west or the ME, too religious and I think that with the advent of social media a lot of conflicts are bound to happen when certain religious values infringe on the rights of other people. At the end of the day constitutions in democracies are meant to protect the rights of all people, but not at the expense of infringing on the rights of others.
