Jethro posted:Right, the Satanic Temple is a church (only founded in 2013, for some reason I thought they have been around longer) which focuses on activism, especially around separation of church and state. The Temple is a really dope organization and is extremely progressive. They hold to seven basic tenants (mostly can be summed up as "Don't be a dick, and don't try to rule other people") and are a proper thorn to the MURICAISCHRISTIAN folks.

Thousands join protests against Erdogan in Amsterdam, Den Haag nltimes.nl/October 14, 2019 'Turkey's invasion of northern Syria last week, resulted in protests against Turkey and its president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Netherlands over the weekend. A planned protest on the Malieveld in The Hague drew around 3 thousand protesters. A spontaneous protest at Amsterdam Central Station attracted around 75 demonstrators. The Hague demonstrators marched through the city, passing the Turkish embassy, on Saturday afternoon. They carried signs aimed at Erdogan, and shouted slogans like "Erdogan terrorist, Erdogan murderer", according to Trouw. "Today we are all standing side by side. We will not be scared. We want our own state, our own place for our language and culture. That is all we want." One Kurdish protester told the newspaper. Another protester told Trouw she came to send a clear signal that the Turks must halt their invasion. "We want him to stop killing children in Syria", she said. "The Kurdish community is very close. Here in The Hague, but I also know many people in the area that is currently being attacked. Many of my family members are underground or have been inside for days. We are very scared."'
