Turkey Municipal elections 29 March 2009

TURKEY 29 Mar 2009 Municipal election a test for governing party's platform
The party of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), is expected to take its national lead into the municipal election, which will be seen as a referendum on national issues. The campaigns in 81 provinces, among which there are 16 metropolitan municipalities to be won, can be expected to reflect the Islamist-secularist divide in Turkey, which is a constitutionally secular country with a population overwhelmingly composed of Muslims.

The AKP's main rivals are the secularist center-left Republican People's Party (CHP) and the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party. The CHP is the oldest political party in Turkey. The Islamists defeated the CHP-Democratic Left Party alliance in the 2007 general election, turning the country away from its secular roots.

A Suicide Bomber Demolished a Mosque in Pakistan Pure Madness

Peshawar, Pakistan -- A suicide bomber demolished a mosque packed with hundreds of worshippers attending Friday prayers close to the Afghan border, killing at least 48 people and injuring scores more, officials said.

The attack in the Khyber region was the bloodiest in Pakistan this year and came hours before President Barack Obama was due to unveil a revised strategy expected to emphasize the need to eradicate militant havens along the Pakistan-Afghan frontier

LANDI KOTAL, Pakistan, March 27 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed at least 50 people when he blew himself up in a crowded Pakistani mosque near the Afghan border on Friday, government officials said.

The attack came hours before U.S. President Barack Obama was scheduled to announce a new strategy for the Afghan war, an approach U.S. officials said would also recognise Pakistan as a key part of the conflict.

Looks like praying is becoing dangerous in the Pakistani borders with Afghanistan. The problem of the suicide bombers is that they these people had become totally brainwashed. The problem at hand is to know how they have been brainwashed and working on it to stem it out.
