| Do not disrupt our peace in Ramadan with unseemly debates | |
By EKREM DUMANLI
It has been common in Turkey that during every Ramadan some people appear to disrupt the peace and glory of fasting. Meaningless discussions and baseless allegations become part of the media agenda, while the people, be it those who fast or those who do not, keep leading their lives.
The media used to make aggressive and offensive reports more frequently in the past. Now these reports have changed in terms of content and method. But the old habit still persists. In the past, however, fabricated reports on religious fundamentalism were more popular. Instead, the media now makes room for baseless discussions that they present as scholarly discussions on Islamic jurisprudence. Do these discussions matter at all for regular people? No, they try to experience the divine atmosphere during Ramadan instead of paying attention to these discussions.
