FYI - there are plenty of Turks who don’t buy the Salafist thing. For now. Erdogan and company are making it very hard on them.

Like I said a couple of days ago, very much seems Turkey has been specifically targeted in recent weeks.. expect more chaos in Turkey.

Try replacing “gun” with armed “islamic terrorist” for improved accuracy.

Let’s examine a muhamedan fundamentalist’s thinking. Since all these young, secular muhamedans are celebrating a non-mohamedan celebration (New Year’s), by DRINKING, they are acceptable targets for these two, and more reasons. Since Santa Claus is what Christmas is about (to both fundie muhamedans and seculars, alike), if the bar is attacked by Santa Clauses, it therefore, MUST be an attack by Christians! Therefore, the fundies think the Christians will be blamed!

Another “Thank You, Islam” moment. Took out more Infidels and apostates.

Hmmmm. I wonder about my ex-wife. She's a Turk back living in Istanbul, and she'd be out partying on a night like this. I despise the little troll, but not enough for her to get shot in the back by a fellow Muzzie. I'm sure she's OK. She always did have a talent for being in the proximity of a shitstorm without actually getting involved in it. Even if she started it.

>>”it therefore, MUST be an attack by Christians! Therefore, the fundies think the Christians will be blamed!”<<

Actually, No. That’s the view, mainly, propagated in the Western world, mostly USA.

The view in the M.E. is not that Christians are attacking.

The view, largely, is that Muslim fund-a-mental-lists are supported by Western govts, and are propped up to attack.

There lies a BIG difference in perceptions between 2 worlds. Therefore, leading to a divergence rather than convergence to fight what is/was called WOT (War on Terror).

Apologies, I re-read that sentence. “Fundies” might think so, but reality is most people in that part of the world don’t see it that way.
