ISTANBUL - A group of Turkish ultra-nationalists attacked three US sailors on a crowded street in Istanbul on Wednesday, shouting "Yankee go home" and trying to pull hoods over their heads in an assault condemned by the US embassy.

Video footage posted on the website of the ultra-nationalist Turkish Youth Union showed the attackers surrounding the sailors, calling them "murderers" and throwing orange paint at the men. ..........

As jihad gains momentum, Muslims will bully Americans anytime the numbers are in their favor.

I walked the street in a European country (NATO) I may have been visible disdained by some, but never this treatment.

Those camel jockeys are lucky they wasn’t the navy from as recently as the 80s. They used to brawl a lot. Now they get to go to alcohol free volleyball tournaments.

When that starts happening with greater frequency in the US, and it will, the Muzz need to be slapped down, and slapped down hard! No momentum allowed!

My ship spent a few days in Antalya Turkey, in ‘89. It was a little scary then. So were Egypt, Morroco and certain areas of France.

Time for a stealth landing party.

Then let the fun unfold.

"Muslims will bully Americans anytime
the numbers are in their favor."too late..their already doing it in certain areas in
MH/MN/IL and the Left Coast..esp. the White Mosque.

bringing their hell-holes to America.

This is the new Obamian America, or should I say the OBambian America? Turkey should be booted out of NATO until such time their military can launch a coup, kill Edoran (sp?) and castrate the Muslim Brotherhood like Al-sisi did in Egypt. Then we can let them back into NATO. Problem is, Obama sees Al_sisi as more evil than the MB. Either way, the US is a paper tiger now...

This is not new, it is just the media has discovered it. When I was stationed there ‘68-69, assaults were not exactly common, but certainly viscous up to and including murder of EMs and beating of officers by local Turks. There were several soldiers who had to be smuggled out of country.

Those were the days if you stepped on a Turkish Lira (featuring an image of Ataturk), it meant a beating or arrest.

Well after watching the clip on T.V. and seeing how the group keep saying “Yankee go home, this is our home and we don’t want you here” why can’t we be doing that with people we don’t want here?

I know we are a very civilized country and have better manners, but come on, there are a lot of people that don’t belong here that is taking things away from our people who have worked, obeyed the laws here, so why not? Just saying....

Turks returning to their old ways.

[dfwgator]

Kick Turkey out of NATO, NOW!

[SunkenCiv]

Turkish Youth Union thugs shouting “Yankee go home”? What are their FR nicks?

[pfflier]

The whole arab world saw three Americans running for their lives. I remember a time when the whole world would have been scared s#!tless to even think of that.

[luvbach1]

I know the Muzz in America are already starting to throw their weight around but at some point in the near future they need to be slapped down; however, not predicting that will happen.

[freeangel]

There is not a reason on earth that we should give ANY money to Turkish pigs!
