Hers the video. "Isis sucks." Not Muslims.

Anti-western pro-jihad attitudes are wide spread among our Muslim allies in Turkey. But rejected by 100% of Syrians. Got it.
Pew research shows the vast majority of middle eastern muslims favor imposition of Sharia Law. But of course, this wouldn't apply the that bastion of secular liberalism that is Syria.

Muslima wrote: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

Not the OP, but I think what she is trying to highlight is how common the pro-Jihadist, anti-western sentiment is among Muslims.
What is happening in a stadium full of Turks is not reflective of anyone other than the Turks in that stadium. There are 1.4 billion Muslims in the world. Surprisingly, they don't all think the same.
Yes, we know they don't all think the same, but many people find it shocking and unsettling that there are that many people in Turkey ( or anywhere) that hold such views. Especially when Turkey is perceived to be a somewhat more moderate Muslim country
It would only be shocking to those who haven't been following developments in Turkey. The Turks have been supporting the Jihadist groups. The current government is Islamist. Kurds have a big presence in France and have been demonstrating against Turkey. At any rate, feel free to criticize the Turks all you want. It just doesn't have anything to do with the refugees who are fleeing the Jihadists, not supporting them.
Jeff, there's tons of people booing and shouting in that video. You're starting to sound defensive and ridiculous. Many people are aware of the developments in Turkey and still find it surprising and unsettling that THAT MANY people at a Turkish soccer match, which presumably would represent a cross section of the population, would react in the manner that they did.
