(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, FEBRUARY 8 - A Twitter user has gained almost 200 thousand followers under the username ''@allah''.
Charges have been filed against him and while the result of the case is uncertain, it has drawn the attention of an information website. The lawsuit against the account ''twitter.com/allahcc'' was opened by television presenter Serdar Tuncer, who claims that the more than 4,600 tweets sent by this tweeter mock the Islam and other religions and humiliate their faithful. Tuncer, who presents television programmes dedicated to Ramadan, as the website Bianet reports, has said that ''the correspondence between the person called @allah (cc) and his readers'' violates article 216/3 of Turkish Criminal Law on ''denigration of religious values".
