dancing:

                Can this be far behind??

"Unfortunately, they're having our youth do improper dances
in the name of folk dancing.  What father would want his 16-17
year-old daughter to have a boy hold her hand, look in her eyes,
touch her arms while dancing these improper dances? Would a
man who would commit murder for his honor give permission
for this? Mothers and fathers should read about the subject of
adultery/fornication in Islam."

          N.T. rails against folk dancing.

Reacting to the incident, CHP (opposition Republican Peoples
Party) Deputy Chairman Veli Ağbaba had this to say: "Folk dancing
has been a tradition in Anatolia for thousands of years. Someone
who associates folk dancing with adultery/fornication is no different
than ISIS."  Malatya Provincial Education Director Ali Tatlı said
that an investigation has been started in relation to the incident.
