Sorry to backtrack from this amazing part of the discussion, but Deadspin had a good explanation of what happened in Turkey with their moment of silence.  (hint, another piece that agrees with ednksu's position)

I read the linked article so the rest of you don't have to. Here's the key takeaway:

Quote
The more important clarification the article makes is that the chants of “Martyrs never die, the country will never be divided” and the reported cries of “Allahu Akbar” were in no way meant to show support to the perpetrators of the Paris attacks. According to the writer, the former slogan is actually a common anti-terrorism chant expressing a sentiment that no matter what kind of attacks Turkey faces, it will remain as one. It too was chanted during the moment of silence after the Ankara bombings. As for “Allahu Akbar,” the article points to another popular chant that, while nationalistic in origin, has become a typical “Let’s Go Team!” type of thing.

:lol: If you really believe that, I mean, just :lol:


The whole thing centers around their racist war against the Kurds  and if you want to believe that rot gut explanation of chanting Allahu Akbar being anything else but appreciation for Allah's wrath against the Parisian's then you're just a whack-a-doodle, like edn.

I love it when the neo right imposes their views on what other people are actually saying.

NeoRight?   Really?   You're an incredible dumbass.

Since we have this "SAFE Act of 2015" does this mean these governors will go back to their duly appointed powers and stop with the executive overreach?

fair point, and it's possible people could flip before the override. But it's shocking how fast reps have abandoned American principles.
