Why shouldn't a Muslim be president of Turkey?

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 15:04 UK time, Monday, 30 April 2007

A warm welcome to Felix in Germany and Inderjit in Kuwait who've signed up to the Daily Email in the last few minutes.

700,000 Turks over the weekend to protest at the prospect of presidential candidate Abdullah Gul getting the job. They've talked of preserving 'the inseparable principles of democracy and secularism". Abdullah Gul is Muslim and the AK party he represents has close ties with Islam.

So, is there a problem when religion and politics get closely intertwined? Or do you think the point of democracy is that anyone should be able to stand regardless of their religious beliefs?

Read on for the rest of today's running order...

Fiona Crack | 09:35 UK time, Monday, 30 April 2007

It's all been kicking off in Turkey over the weekend as hundreds of thousands of took to the streets in fear that Abdullah Gul and his AK party will turn Turkey in to an Islamic state. The protest came after the military warned it would act to defend . The crowds carried posters of Kamal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey and banners that read "Sharia shall not rise to the Presidential Palace"

Is nationality or religion the binding factor in your country? Which would you defend more vehemently?

Your questions to Ed Husain

| 12:53 UK time, Thursday, 26 April 2007

Ed Husain is a British Muslim who became an Islamic fundamentalist when he was 16. Five years later he turned his back on fundamentalism and returned to "normal life".

is a book he's written to explain "why I joined radical Islam in Britain, what I saw inside and why I left". Ed believes his experiences can help to explain the appeal of extremist thought, and says Britian is "sitting on a time bomb".

and explain in far better detail. Please have a read and share your views with us here.

Ed will be in the World Have Your Say studio today to answer your questions.

If you'd like to ask him a question, post it below, or email us, and if you'd like to come on air, let us know your phone number.

Blog breakdown

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 15:11 UK time, Wednesday, 25 April 2007

This blog is not behaving itself, which is something we're acutely aware of. We know you are too because you're emailing us about it every day.

The nub of the problem is that sometimes it accepts your comments and sometimes it doesn't. Quite often it doesn't. I know that's far from ideal and we're working on fixing it (or more to the point we're working on the people who are working on fixing it).

In the meantime, if it says 'content submission error' (which is its way of telling you 'this comment is not going to make it'), please email me or WHYS. We'll then make sure we have your comments for the show, and will do our best to get them online - but I'm afraid we don't get special treatment and sometimes it won't let us post comments either. Thanks for your patience, as we're running a little short of it!

Should Mexico City have legalised abortion?

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 15:08 UK time, Wednesday, 25 April 2007

Not my demand, but that of the all-conquering Russell Simmons of the legendary Def Jam label. there's no place for words like 'bitches' and 'hos' in hip-hop and he wants the music industry stop allowing their use.

It's true we have discussed it every day this week. The thing is though Julie, the 主播大秀's email inboxes suggests that there are many of you outside of the US who do still want to talk about the story. And on WHYS our agenda is always dictated by the stories that are provoking the most discussion. Julie, I hope you'll tune in all the same.

Two days after the Virginia school shootings and the world is still talking about it. Your emails and texts came in to World Have Your Say yesterday including this email from Mark, UK

I do want to comment on the constant reference to the killer coming from South Korea. I believe it should be noted that he had lived in the US since 1992 and is more of an American than a Korean. I feel that his constant portrayal in the media about him being a S. Korean reinforces a racist reaction to something which is clearly much more complicated to understand, if this horrible happening could every be understood.

Good Friday Morning

Peter van Dyk | 08:23 UK time, Friday, 6 April 2007

Hello all, it's a public holiday here in England but of course we'll still be talking about the news that matters to you this evening. And it's rather pleasant to come into TVC on a because the car park is open to all staff, rather than (the admittedly many) people who ar emore important than the likes of me. And being a holiday, there's no traffic, so the drive is good too.

But on to the news - the top story on the and World Service radio is that a major UN report is set to conclude that on the natural world.

Tonight on World Have Your Say our listeners across the World will be telling us who they think won the statemale situation between Iran and the UK. Was the release of the prisoners a gift, was a deal done and should Tony Blair have said "thank you" to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

Morning Meeting - Thursday April 5

Peter van Dyk | 11:27 UK time, Thursday, 5 April 2007

Good morning, we're just starting our meeting. First up is Uganda . The law made it an offence for a married woman to have an affair, but it allowed a cheating husband to have an affair with an unmarried woman.

It has been scrapped by the Constitutional Court because it treated men and women unequally.

Very passionate and correct

| 08:54 UK time, Thursday, 5 April 2007

Words that could be applied to the World Have Your Say team and listenership of course, but were actually used yesterday by the manager of football team Roma to describe his team's fans. As soon as I can get a picture or two to upload here, you can see for yourself the scenes from last night's game against Manchester United. It's not that the violence wasn't expected, Man United wrote letters to fans travelling to the game warning of attacks by Rome's "Ultras", something which annoyed the Major of Rome, who promised fans would be visiting a "calm and welcoming" city. We were going to talk about this on yesterday's show but we didn't have time following news of the release of the captured British sailors. Would you like to hear reaction today? Oh, the result by the way, 2 - 1 to Roma, but a crucial away goal from Wayne Rooney means the European dream isn't over for United just yet...

The business of kidnapping

| 17:23 UK time, Monday, 2 April 2007

Hi,

If you read Pete's post earlier, you'll know we were thinking about doing a whole programme today about kidnapping.

With the numerous examples from around the world (not least in Gaza where our colleague Alan Johnston is currently being held), we decided it was time to speak to people who have kidnapped, who have been kidnapped and who have ended kidnapping, to try and understand why it is happening more and more.

You can read emails and text messages here, and of course post your own comments as well.
