Just moozlums being moozlums. Murdering people seems second nature to all of them. Clown Prince nobama wants them to be your neighbor.

If the NYT reports it then it just must have been some chef at the party who accidentally cut his finger. You know how the NYT likes to exaggerate things.

Maybe I’m just dumb. But I don’t recall Kurds being suicide bombers like this. Feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken.

Last I heard was that Kurds were followers of islam too. If so, they need to reform their idiocy or expire like the rest of islam.

Wasn’t there one in Afghanistan where it was a guest that inadvertently killed several others and maybe the bride?

The town where this happened is close to the Syrian border & Aleppo.

Could be a GFY from Hamas to Sultan Erdogan for making nice with Israel.

Muslim throwbacks doing the will of Satan Mohammed. It’s what they do.

Kurds typically set up a bomb, or just stage an one-person or two-person assassination (political figure, cop, etc). Now in this case, I haven’t heard who the two chief families are, or the groom. If they were connected to politics or the police...then it might make sense to blame the Kurds.
