[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]The fans were chanting “?ehitler ölmez vatan bölünmez” (translated from Turkish): "Martyrs live forever, the country is never divided". Furthermore, Turkish soccer fans ALWAYS whistle to show their support. This is misleading and furthering division. Someone yelled "muslims suck" during a moment of silence for Paris before the Lions vs. Packers game on Sunday, you can find bigots everywhere[/quote]

How do you know that is what they were chanting?  And why would you chant ANYTHING during a moment of silence?  That is not a moment of silence.  Are Turkish soccer fans incapable of being silent?[/quote]

Got it from a turkish friend. Apparently in Turkish, its not even called a moment of silence but a "Sayg? durusu" meaning respectful stand. This could all be a big misunderstanding[/quote]

Hm.  Let's hope.  But I would not be totally surprised, if it wasn't.  Turkey has their share of ultra conservative radicals.  And they like that Daesh is killing the Kurdish people.  And let's not talk about the Turkish government and their systemic decade long use of torture and other human right violations against any political opponents and countless journalists, etc. the list is too long.
But that's another topic.[/quote]
