I know that the ruling AK Party (Erdogan) is trying to convert (transform?) Turkey into an Islamic "republic". I also know about and have oft-posted information about the tens of millions of Turks who oppose Islamism and Sharia Law.

Rush questioned why news reports left out the booing.

This English language edition of a Turkish newspaper did not leave it out.. but includes information that Rush left out as have many of our newspapers.

Turkish fans boo minute's silence for Paris victims The booing led "to strong criticism within Turkey and around the world."

Yes some in Turkey booed.. but in the past some even booed a moment of silence for Turkey's victims of ISIS jihadists attacks.

It is not the first time Turkish spectators have booed a minute's silence during a national match. Spectators at a football match on Oct. 13 in Konya booed during what was supposed to be a moment of silence for victims of the Oct. 10 Ankara bombings.
The moment of silence was called before play in the Turkish national team's Euro 2016 Group qualification match against Iceland. The Ankara bombing was the deadliest ever in Turkey's history, with 102 people killed and more than 500 people injured. Some of the spectators, however, broke the silence by booing, whistling and chanting “Allahu Akbar.”

Like Obama's transformation here Erdogan's has divided citizens into two countries.
