Thousands chant for Hizbullah in Charlie Hebdo protest in southeast Turkey.

Around 100,000 people have protested the French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Diyarbakır, a Kurdish-majority city in Turkey's southeast, cheering for Turkish Hizbullah.

The Lovers of the Prophet Platform organized the two-hour long Jan. 24 protest at the central İstasyon Square with the participation of thousands of demonstrators coming from nearby towns, Doğan News Agency reported.

Most speeches, banners and slogans, either in Turkish, Kurdish or Arabic, targeted Charlie Hebdo for publishing Prophet Mohammad cartoons. In reference to the "Je Suis..." slogan, some banners read "I am Hizbullah in Kurdistan," "I am Hamas in Palestine," "I am Malcolm X in America" and "I am Imam Shamil in Chechnya."



"As long as you are the enemies of Allah, we will be your enemies,"  the Free Cause Party (Hüda Par) chair Molla Osman Teyfur said in his speech, vowing to "cut the tongue that talked against the Prophet."

Hüda Par shares the same supporters base with Turkey’s Hizbullah, whose members are mostly Kurdish Islamists. Both organizations have been engaging in clashes with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) since the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) last year. 37 people were killed in 35 provinces on Oct. 6-7 during the worst unrest in the recent past.

  1. En las redes sociales se ha desatado una fuerte polémica a causa de los elogios que los políticos occidentales le han dedicado al recién fallecido rey saudita Abdalá ben Abdelaziz. Se ha iniciado una campaña en línea con el 'hashtag' #JeSuisAbdullah con el objetivo de llamar la atención hacia la hipocresía de Occidente, que exalta a un monarca cuyo régimen se asocia a un sinnúmero de abusos contra los derechos humanos, al belicismo y a la corrupción...

    Los internautas están expresando con ironía su desprecio por las condolencias que los dirigentes occidentales han transmitido con motivo de la muerte del monarca saudita. Uno de ellos es el periodista Glenn Greenwald, que cree que la única razón por la cual Occidente no baila sobre la tumba del rey Abdalá es porque Arabia Saudita es un sólido aliado occidental en una región rica en petróleo................http://actualidad.rt.com/actualidad/164346-abdala-halagos-occidente-difunto-rey-saudita-polemica

  2. Manifestations anti-Charlie du monde musulman: un phénomène négligeable...

    Mille manifestants à Dakar, 2000 à 3000 à Alger, 1500 à Niamey, 6000 à Lahore... Et jusqu'à 1 million à Grozny. Oui, des citoyens de ce que l'on appelle le monde musulman sont sortis dans la rue pour contester les caricatures de Charlie Hebdo. Mais, non, cette mobilisation n'a rien de massive; la majorité des musulmans n'ont rien à voir avec ce mouvement.

    Ces derniers jours bon nombre de manifestations, parfois marquées de violences, ont eu lieu dans un certain nombre de pays dont la population est majoritairement de confession musulmane. Elles visaient à protester contre les nouvelles caricatures de Charlie Hebdo publié dans le numéro "des survivants" le 14 janvier dernier.

    "À bas Charlie Hebdo", scandaient encore ce vendredi 15 000 personnes à Islamabad (Pakistan) ou encore 20 000 Afghans à Herat. Au Niger, la protestation qui rassemblait à Niamey 1500 personnes a fait cinq morts après avoir viré à l'émeute et aux destructions méthodiques des églises et des commerces chrétiens.....................http://www.rtbf.be/info/monde/detail_manifestations-anti-charlie-du-monde-musulman-un-phenomene-negligeable?id=8833155

  3. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has greeted around 100,000 people who protested French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Diyarbakır, while also cheering for Hizbullah...

    “The region suddenly has a reaction whenever a shameless act happens toward the Prophet Muhammad. I greet each and every brother who defends the Prophet Muhammad here,” Davutoğlu said during his speech at the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) provincial congress in Diyarbakır.

    The Lovers of the Prophet Platform organized a two-hour long Jan. 24 protest at the central İstasyon Square with the participation of thousands of demonstrators coming from nearby towns.
