She didn’t get burned — she died an honorable death, and had a far better life than many of the chavs back home.

“” “’A major Moslem cleric in Turkey has called for a Million Moslem Army to invade and kill every Jew in Israel.

Whose side are you on? Hitler’s memory is still fresh in our family.” “” “

Show me where I said I stand with the Turks? Kurds are right to oppose them but they are doing it wrong.

Technically Assad invited the Russians and Hizballah to fight with his army.

Syria isn't ruled by Iran and Alawites haven't been the cannon fodder to attackIsrael -- the last war they had was in the early 80s.

Assad does not bomb Christians - he protects them. Bluntly you want to removeAssad and you condemn the Christians of Syria, including the Christians of Damascus (the first place Christians were called CHRISTians) to death. Why would you want to do that?

Furthermore, during the battle of Britain the British allowed the Poles, etc. to fight for them and the Americans took part in the fighting later on — allies just as the hizb and Russia are Assad’s allies. Thanks toObama’s creation of the IS, the seculars in Syria needed some help.

Well, the message goes out quite clearly “Don’t be allied with the USA - they don’t look after their allies but abandon them. In contrast the Russians stick by their allies even when all seems lost” — that’s the perception and it is dangerous not only to the US in the middle east but elsewhere in the world.

The word terrorist is bandied about — I believe it shoudl be used only if civilians are specifically targeted with the aim of spreading terror. The PKK does not seem to do that (I may be wrong), so she was not a terrorist.

Turkey was an ally before Erdogan. Now, it has its own agenda that is contrary to NATO. It has a temporary agreement with Russia, but it has its own gameplan - I think it is a half-baked one by Erdogan, but that’s my opinion

I disagree with that. She fought for a cause she felt was right.

He was citing Yeni Safak - a ‘conservative’ (read Islamist) Turkish paper.

Not the Kurdish men. And not the Alawite or Yazidi or Shia men. Nor the Christian men. There are a few exceptions for this, but the majority of the migrants are Sunnis

Members of NATO don't and didn't need to be democracies -- only to "uphold democratic principles" and have a rule of law. During Turkey and Greece's bouts with military rule there was no problem

that being said, Turkey no longer should be in NATO

” gift for profanity “, no, for accuracy.

” I’m reluctant to brawl with women...”
I’m sure you are since they kick your butt every time.

‘”...let’s do it in public.”
Sorry, I really don’t want to so easily embarrass you.

"Dismembered after WWI" -- they tried that and lost.

Remember that the Kurds were the ones who physically killed the Armenians during the genocide. it was masterminded by the Turks but the Kurds of that time committed the atrocities mainly.

Also the "Turks" of today are, genetically, hardly related to the Turkic peoples of central Asia. Genetically they are an admixture of Anatolians (hittites, Phyrgians,etc.), Greeks, Arabs, Assyrians, Persians, Kurds etc. etc.

"The same goes for islam which could see us benefit more realistically from a reformation of an islam tolerating other religions "

Anyone who says Islam can be "reformed" doesn't know Islam or the meaning of the word reformation.

A Re-formation is an aim to "return to the original or perceived original" - hence the Christian reformation was where different people thought they were returning to the ways of the original Christians

But what were the original Christians? What was Christ like? They didn't go about killing or making war on other folks. The original Christian communities (leaving aside the dogma) were fellowships of equality and they did not make war on one another or outsiders. They argued with words, not weapons.

in contrast what was Muhammad and the Muhammadens like int eh begining? A warlord and his army.

THAT would be the Izlamik reformation.

And, an Izlamik reformation has already taken place in the 1700s with the rise of the Wahabbis. That lead to Saudia - that is the reformation center

What you are talking about, creating an "Islam tolerating other religions" is like creating a "Christianity that acknowledges Vishnu, Shiva, Thor etc. as equal gods with Yahweh and that Jesus never got resurrected" - i.e. you are askign for Iz to change its very DNA

If you do that, you end up wth a different religion - and those also fall apart when they come upon the character of Mo and allah -- look at Bahaiism or Ahmadiyyas.

No, Izlam cannot be made to play nicely with others.

Assad is the ONLY one who can keep peace in Syria right now.

More of that “You go girl” BS. She wasted her life, and would have done far far more to make the world a better place by creating a family and raising decent children.

Your statement is breathtakingly asinine.

This brave woman was a free individual—who gave her life doing what she wanted to do.

How dare you say that she wasted her life, when she was fighting for a cause she believed in!

It was her life, and her right to live it as she saw fit. Yeah, it's too bad that this woman chose not to be limited by the rigid role which you think she belonged in.

More of that "Know your place girl" BS. Unbelievable.
