Before today’s Greece vs. Turkey friendly match in Istanbul both teams shared a moment of silence to honor the victims of the Paris attacks. UEFA, Europe’s governing soccer body, requested that all European international games hold a minute of silence before the start of their matches and wear black armbands.

Many fans in the stands in Instanbul, however, decided to boo and wave flags during the minute. The booing can be heard in this video:

Not only booing but saying the infamous alluh akbar or whatever it is.

They don’t know they have already lost their war against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Lost over 2000 yrs ago, before what’s his name was born.

Don’t blame all Muslims. Only about 95% of them were supporting the terrorists.
