Turkish women defy Deputy PM's 'don't laugh' comments

William Haskins · Jul 30, 2014

Turkish women posted pictures of themselves laughing online Wednesday in defiance to Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc’s remarks urging them to not laugh in public to "protect moral values."

Ece Temelkuran, a Turkish journalist with almost one million followers on Twitter, was one of the many women who posted a photo of themselves laughing. She later re-tweeted several photos of other women who joined her.

bitches need to quit that goddamn chortling so people don't think they're whores.

Wait. I thought he said they shouldn't laugh out loud. Grinning is okay.

i've edited my post to reflect this nuance.

it's exceedingly generous for them to allow a smile.

as long as they can concurrently fix a sandwich, i presume.

More Turkish women laughing.

Another slide down the islamist path for the Turkish establishment.

The Turkish government has really lost the plot.

Why did they think it would be a good idea to allow women out in public?
