...hecklers and protesters at Mr. Mueller’s speech reflect a level of coarseness that I find disgusting in American discourse. Yes, these people have the right to be heard, to protest should they feel it necessary but not when it is Mr. Mueller’s turn to speak. We all have a turn to speak and once Mr. Mueller started it was his turn, not that of the protesters. The Crimson should be even more embarrassed that one of its editorial staff participated. That somewhat disqualifies The Crimson as any sort of non-biased news source...
Around 20 people—including students and other members of the Harvard community—protested yesterday afternoon in front of Mass.

SLAM member and strike participant Alyssa M. Aguilera ’08-’09 said...

...This isn't a matter of dress sense. Gul's nomination (and his wife's attire) has laid bare Turkey's deep divisions over the separation of religion and government. The protest was part of a much broader revolt by Turkey's self-described "secularists" against a popularly elected Islamic-leaning government that has held power-with considerable success-since November 2002. An ad hoc coalition of opposition parties, the military and parts of the judiciary, often referred to in Turkey as the "secular establishment," has in recent days derailed the presidential selection process in a standoff that underscores...
Young middle-class Turks don't have much of a tradition of political protest. But nearly a million of them poured into the streets of Istanbul--some chanting "We don't want another Iran!"--to demonstrate against the country's Islamic-leaning but democratically elected government. The protest was part of a larger revolt by Turkey's "secular establishment," which includes the army and parts of the judiciary, against a political party that has been in power for five years. The ostensible reason was that the ruling party nominated Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, a conservative Muslim, for President...
