Fun fact: Took Islam and Politics (Polsci 401) online this summer from Sabri Ciftci. He's from Turkey and actually filmed his lectures from his Turkish living room. I'm taking two more classes from him next semester. If you guys want, I could ask him to post here to let us know the real answer.

I've been to Turkey and dated a Turkish girl who lived in London. Most Turks don't consider themselves part of the Arab world, they are quite proud to be secular. Turkey is considered the border between Europe and Asia, with the West side of Istanbul being in Europe and the East side Asia.

I have heard Turkey sucks big time except for awesome basketball players.

I would do it but the italian alphabet has over 8,000 different letters and I don't have time to learn it or find a keyboard to use that includes all of them.

Under the new circumstances, is this still something we'd be interested in?

Between the mods swinging and missing on beth and the unknown soon to be sophomore at manhattan high I would say you being able to secure the services of Sabri could be just what we need around here.

Great move, Jake.

Top 3 European Leagues Historically (1957-2007)

1.    Italian Lega A
2.    Spanish ACB
3.    Greek HEBA A1

Sounds like Manhattan sister city Biella is totally EMAW over Jake...

Quote from: Google translated Italian commenter

this is the big hit ... sosa levels for Biella.

Quote from: ditto

Perfect player in a European context, a really great shot, although it is more guard play.

Italy really considers themselves to be French.

I have a sister studying in Italy, and she says Italians consider themselves part of the Arab world.

Also, I learned everything I need to know about Italy from this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317740/

They let you bring big giant drums to the games as if it were a soccer match.

Would love that in Bramlage.

Attended this game a couple years ago between Biella and Milano and was fairly entertained. (Hollace Price

) Good crowd, but even the larger city a-series teams probably don't sell out their arenas often. Biella seems like one of the smaller teams in the series, as they didn't have recognizable team sponsors like most of the others. One of the coaches was pretty animated.

I may need to carve out an extra study break to get this thing watched sooner than planned.
