Turkey fans BOO during pre-match minute's silence for the victims of Paris attacks an

this is a soccer thread- please move your crap to the politics thread

For someone to think that this is a political issue just shows how the skills of critical thinking have diminished.

it is the increasingly conservative, narrow minded element of Turkish society being jerks and behaving that way. Societies all over the world are veering towards narrow minded conservative views, not just here.

yeah, that's the problem... their conservative jerks.

Whew! Glad you got that hard-thinking out of the way. Go back and watch MSNBC you tool

absolutely shameful.

The boos were not to disrespect those who had died in the attacks - but more to do with the hypocrisy of the Western world.

International soccer teams did not hold a minute's silence after the Ankara terror attack in October. More than 100 people died in the Turkish capital after two bombs were set off outside the Ankara Central railway station on October 11th;

Turkish fans also booed during a minute's silence of their game against Iceland on October 13th

These people are sick of seeing western blood valued so much more than others... Back in April of this year, 147 students were killed in Kenya....can you imagine if that many students were murdered here at one University ? ....where was the world outcry for that or the Ankara massacre?

anyways , back to soccer

Exactly.

Whiner should simply keep his head in the sand and see what happens. We are talking about what happened in a soccer stadium.

Some idiot took the opportunity of this post to seemingly bash all members of the muslim faith as if millions upon millions of turks are not outraged by the brutal attacks in Paris.

I think the position is: If a Muslim based country wants to bomb there own, have it. When you want to bomb another, it's a bit different.

An innocent victim of terrorism is an innocent victim of terrorism regardless of where they live.

Military action does not equate to terrorism, mate. Terrorism, by its very nature, targets the most vulnerable among us. I'm not advocating military bombing by any means, but generally (not always, I know) they are not attacking civilian targets.
