Turkey: The Need To Separate Muslim Bashing From Legitimate ActivismSouth Africa and resistance are synonymous. From major events like the 1956 Women's March against pass laws and the 1976 Soweto Uprising to more recent cases: Andries Tatane who died during service delivery protests in Ficksburg, and the notorious Marikana. 6000 protests were officially recorded during 2004, and about 1000 protests were illegally banned. This meant that at least 15 protests were taking place each day in South Africa at this time, leading to South Africa being dubbed "protest capital of the world." Life goes on. The same government stays in power. While people seethe over President Zuma’s Nkandla, we never pick on his religion, Christianity. It seems reductive then that this past week’s events in Turkey - rioting, looting, vandalism and violent police action should all direct the media to grumbles against ‘Islamism’ in Turkey.

Turkey represents a positive dynamic: democratic and religious, plus an economic success story. Only two non-Western countries have taken to this type of empowerment: China’s notoriously authoritarian model, and Turkey’s more democratic one. It therefore seems incongruous that Erdogan critics are so riled over these protests, going so far as to create parallels between Taksim and Tahrir Square. The rush to equate a despot (Mubarak) and a lawfully elected leader (Erdogan), even if he has grown increasingly patronising and domineering, is unwarranted and injudicious. read more
