Video - Turkish Justice: Equality and Efficiency
"In Turkish courts, unlike in ours, letters of favoritism are not passed. The best part of their justice is that the cases last a short time. As in Spain, the right party does not seek to compromise with the wrong party thinking 'this case will never end'. Turks offer justice to everyone, whether Christians, Jews or Muslims." "They practice it equally. In addition to the Quran, there is also the Cross and the Torah on the lecterns of the judges. They make Christians and Jews swear by them." "They undress a gun-drawing bully and parade him to the public to make an example, even if he hasn't injured anyone. In order to avoid this embarrassment, some of them hesitate to use the sword on their waist and end the fight with a slap." "They take it around just to make it happen." "Everyone is obliged to keep the front of their door clean. When Sinan Pasha found a house with a dirty front door, he would call the maid or the wife of the house to the front door, and sometimes have them beaten. One day, he even turned a dirty Jewish man out of the way. He explained why he was walking around so dirty, he was married. He asked if his Jewish wife was not taking care of him. The Pasha went to the Jewish man's house and asked his wife, 'Does your husband meet your needs?' He asked. When the woman said, 'Yes, he will not spare anything from us,' he made the woman receive a hundred lashes. "We call these people barbarians. By calling them barbarians, we are actually revealing our barbarism."
