Taksim Square Protests

Agbayir’s anticapitalist group might be characterized as Marxist with a religious twist. The organization’s website describes the "sweat and the blood of the working people," but a spokesperson said the group's left-wing political values are inherently religious ones.

"The group believes that property belongs to God and that means that the property belongs to the people," says graphic designer Emin Albayra, 33, beneath the organization's slogan "God, bread, freedom," which is emblazoned on the tent she is sitting in. "By being here we’re trying to tell people that this is how it is."

The collective, the most visible overtly religious group participating in the Taksim Square protests, does not represent a significant political force.

But other demonstrators who identified themselves as practicing Muslims also cited economic concerns and said there were more who supported their cause.

For many, many years "the Left" (the atheistic portion) has used "the Right's" belief in God to undermine "the Right's" capitalistic ideas. Wouldn't it be something if someone were to use the same tactic against this group of religious Marxists?
