(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, NOVEMBER 29 - The decision of an imam in Istanbul to pin on the door of his mosque a verse from the Koran prohibiting friendship with Jews and Christians has sparked a broad theological and political debate and sizeable controversy in Turkish newspapers. The verse from the Koran placed in past days at the entrance of the Zeynep Sultan mosque in Istanbul is line 51 of Sura 5, The Feast, which says: "O you, who believe, do not take certain Jews and Christians as allies; these are allies of one another. Those among you who ally themselves with these belong with them." The placing of the verse also caused polemics because of its implications to the Turkish foreign policy orientated to EU membership and strategic alliance with the USA and Israel. (ANSAmed).
