May God help that Turkey does not become a Taliban Ruled Afghanistan. Secularity is one of the bases of the Turkish Republic founded by M. Kemal Ataturk, who reconstructed a blooming new nation over the ruins of the sick man of the 19. century, the Ottoman Empire apparently collapsed of being ignorant of the Renaissance, the Reforrms and most importantly the Science. Being a secular state all citizens do enjoy freely to practice all their different religious beliefs. Unfortunately the West supports these medieval minds just for conspiracy. I personally can not excuse Taliban or similar radical Islamists backed by the U:S. Or the BBC corporation interviewing a lady veiled in black who is not a Turkish national and who by no means represents a Turkish woman on the eve following the earthquake. If the medieval radical christians had ressurrected and started to burn people would the West also back them?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
