Isn’t this the equivalence of hosing a Cardinal with burning napalm right on the streets of the Vatican?
I cannot think of a pic that goes harder

I highly recommend everyone read more about Sufis and Dervishes, especially Deviant Dervishes. They’ve been major pot stirrers in the region for hundreds of years; Ottoman and Turkish history is peppered with these guys and their actions. Its all really interesting.

The police should have removed the Dervish’s mask before spraying.
