Don't you get prissy with me,Turk.I don't believe the jihadists look at it that way.They were aimed at Turks who are Jews.They don't care who gets hurt in the process.More non Jewish Turks were killed than Turks who are also Jewish the reports indicate.The cars driving down the street were destroyed.It looks awful.

>> I suspect this is going to wake up the Turks, and make them realize who their enemies really are (Hint: it ain't Israel, or the U.S.)

Just an FYI: Turkey regularly holds military exercises with her allies Israel and the USA. Additionally, Turkey was the first state with a majority population of muslims to recognize the state of Israel, around 50 years ago.

Here's consolation: To be ignorant does not mean to be evil.

Here's advice: Choosing ignorance we cannot reject Satan.

Ammonia gas could be from buildings cooling system.

>> Is this a Sunni or a Shi'ite group?

Now it's supposed to have been Al Qaeda, which is more believable. To answer your question, I'd say they're satanic, and neither Sunni not Shiite.

[a_Turk]

> Are they Turks or... ?

At this time Al Qaeda is suspected.

[a_Turk]

>> What's the prognosis?

We won't know for a few days..

Observe posting guidelines. No personal attacks.

>> Don't you get prissy with me,Turk

Wouldn't know how. But I see you got my meaning..

[a_Turk]

They were the Neve Shalom synagogue in Kuledibi, and the Betyaakov synagogue in Shishli.

Thank God the Turks got that 3rd Van off the streets.

I think you got my meaning,too.I am aware of the relationship with Israel.It is so unusual in that part of the world.I am sad for the loved ones of the dead and those who are hurt.We have just lost 12 in a helicopter shoot down.It is a bad,sad day.

Never fails, something breaks when I logoff! I would assume your correct-Daleel seemed to say 'all' of our allies will be paying the price. I would think this also meant the attacks in Italy and Greece etc.

[a_Turk]

Meanwhile the PKK are condemning the attack from their northern Iraqi mountain hideaway where they seem to be enjoying US protection.. What a back-drop..

[MEG33]

Good grief,they now say 250 injured.You are not going to get anywhere slamming the US today.I express condolences to any Turks who are reading this.

[eleni121]

They hate it that we are living with jews and christians peacefully here.

You turks have been completely brainwashed apparently.

Butcher them all - 3+ millions Christians and then the rest (a few thousand) you keep as propaganda organs.

Oh and what about the Hezbollah? Put on the streets after acquittal

Hizbulla no fear from brother turks

>> You are not going to get anywhere slamming the US today.

Don't get me wrong. Errare humanum est.

But, damn it to hell, wasting the terrorist element hiding in the mountains would go a long way.
