I searched up #PizzaGate on Twitter, and this article came up as my first result: "MPs in Turkey support bill allowing child rapists to go free if they marry their victim"Isodif | 6 points
I feel so bad for the sane, educated, and rational Turks that need to put up with the shitshow their country has become.
also, they should start on making sure they have a fast way of getting out of the country while they can, just in case.

Remember that failed coup a few months back?
When you attempt to overthrow your government and fail, things don't get better. They get worse.
Turkey has been a shithole for a long time but it's about to go full Islamist and it's going to be ugly.

This bill wasn't even passed and people associating this to Islam is plain stupid(rape=death penalty).
This is actually found in Deuteronomy:
"If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days"
And that verse also has a context.

This ring had to do whit relegious schools and high standing officials.
Pro erdogan news paper picked up pizza gate story to show turkey see its happening in the usa its normal.
The marry the rape victim is an old Islamic practice
