Exactly what my friend said yesterday about this, this has bern blown way out of proportions.

[quote]clear: In Turkey (especially at football matches) a one minute silence is always used to chant for those who died in terrorist attacks.

And what they are chanting is this “?ehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez”. Translation: “Martyrs, they do not die (they are immortal), homeland (land, our land) is indivisible.”

That is a habit from our past with the terrorist organisation PKK. More than 30,000 of our citizens died over the past 30 years by the PKK (including babies, women, children, teachers, officers, doctors, students and soldiers).

In any event, after PKK terrorists kill someone in Turkey, people chant this. Below is a proof from one Turkish Premier League match:

Same slogan “?ehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez”.

And also, they booed the terrorist, not the victims. Any victims of terrorism are accepted as martyrs in Turkish culture. There is no disrespect to them, there has not been, there will not be.[/quote][/quote]

What about the Allah Akbar chanting you can hear on the video?

Here's what I don't get - most non-lunatics recognize most muslims are regular people who want what we all want - a place to work and raise their family in peace and security.  But why not recognize that a small but not insignificant portion of the muslim world has been poisoned by radical interpretations of the Koran who carry out violence in the name of religion (whose violence affects predominantly Muslims).

That is the concern of people in objection to Syrian resettlement here - we know most Syrians are great people but even if 2% believe in poisonous interpretations of the Koran, that small number can inflict huge violence.  There are clearly a small but very vocal contingent of Turkish soccer fans that support what ISIS did.[/quote]

Yup. And it is very disappointing. I have loved visiting Turkey in the past but my affinity is waning.[/quote]
