    Thought it was Turkey when I first glimpsed at this, but no this **** is happening in Germany at the Turkish embassy. It's interesting how these people (hopefully a minority of the Muslims in Germany) still hold their extreme beliefs and can support such ****e.

    This is where eu membership holds countries back. These animals should rounded up and jailed for life or thrown out.

    Turks and Kurds kinda have a whole historical "thing" unrelated to ISIS.
    There's not a whole lot to do with EU membership that would prevent the Polizei from tracking down those involved in the violence either.

    Isis are masters of propaganda. They're quite savvy with all manners of social media. It's not surprising they'll have domestic support in western nations. What's surprising is how shtty our attempts have been to dispel this propaganda. You don't try censor it, you debunk it.

    But in our world of sensationalized click-bait media, this will never happen. ISIS are using that to their advantage

    The Israelis are cute enough too.

    This may be more Kurds angry at Turkish inaction having a go at the Turkish embassy and possibly being counter attacked by Turkish nationalists than an "ISIS supporters" vs Kurds thing. Big populations of both Turks and Kurds in Germany

    Anyone have anything more solid?

    Who are these Kurds fighting? Openly pro ISIS radicals or Turkish nationalists?

    I don't think debunking is gonna have any effect. It be like trying to explain quantum physics to a 5 year old, they just wouldn't understand.

    These ISIS nut jobs are a threat to everyone at the minute, they need to be put down, like the dogs that they are.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Where are you getting the "pro IS" thing from, other than the heading on the video?

    Here is the training video western military planners use when forming policy on ISIS.

    They would be all chucked out of Germany if weren't for the Germans' dependence on the kebabs.

    They love a good döner, those Gerries.

    Gather them up, stick them into a Chinook, give them each a parachute & drop them off the rear ramp into their so called Islamic State.

    The Turks have been waging a war against the Kurds for decades and winning, thanks in part to funding from the US - who also say **** all about the ugly conflict. The Kurds want their own nation and part of that nation would exist on territory claimed by Turkey. That's a no no for the Turkish government. So yeah the Turks and Kurds wouldn't be best friends.

    They could could become one nation and then be friends, no?

    Kurdturkeystan?
    Turkurdistan(ey)?

    Saw a bit on that earlier. Kobani is on the border with Turkey and surounded on all sides by ISIS.

    Probably not. Upwards of 30,000 people were killed during the conflict between the Kurdistani PKK and the Turkish military with martial law declared in those regions and foreigners banned from traveling to the areas. Thousands of villages were destroyed and flattened and the countryside evacuated. The Kurds have revolted against Turkish rule many many times throughout history.

    The whole struggle probably looks a lot like Irish independence from the UK but on a level of death and destruction not since here since the Cromwellian conquest.

    This attitude gets us nowhere

    Yep, but without creating more nutjobs in the process

    Because its sensationalist and seems rather unlikely. What did occur was a group of Kurds and a group of Wahabis beating the crap out of each other.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭Streetwalker


    Just seems like a few thugs with bottles and knives hardly a representative of the muslim community in Germany. Still I suppose the millions of peaceful Muslims sitting at home will be pigeonholed as all mad head chopping terrorists.

    Those good muslims sitting at home are just like the good Germans sitting at home leading up to WW2, insignificant through lack of action, and we all know how WW2 turned out for the good Germans.

    If the good muslims don't start to do something about this type of extremist shet happening then it could turn out the same for them.

    What would you suggest they do? Serious question.


  • Registered Users Posts: 260 ✭✭Franticfrank


    The people attacking the Kurds in Hamburg were not Isis supporters, they were Turks. Some over-dramatic and plainly wrong journalism allowed that story get out of hand.

    What....like Al-Qaeda? Like The Taliban? Like The Sunni Awakening? Like The Al-Quds Brigade? Like Boko Haram?

    This ISIS crew are just another creation of the CIA trained in Georgia and Turkey, unleashed in Libya and are now running amok in Iraq and Syria.

    So they chop off a few heads and people have a meltdown and call for airstrikes all over the world. The Pentagon must love these ISIS (do they even call themselves that?) guys. A few beheadings accomplished what no amount of bogus warnings from John Kerry about Assad gassing his people or hare-brained colour-coded "terror" alerts.

    What can they do? They're as responsible for the actions of ISIS as Christians are for those of the KKK. It's a minority of extremists, not representative of the vast majority of Muslims in any way.

    Really the best thing that ISIS supporters living in Europe can do is what this "Dutch" ISIS supporter did

    Go join them and burn your Dutch (or any other Western European) passport.

    But the good old Dutch government has decided to try to stop them from travelling to that part of the world. The better solution would be to make sure they cant come back.

    It's not only Muslem extremists who act with brutality,

    Soldiers searching for dozens of students missing after clashes with police at a demonstration in southern Mexico have found a mass grave full of bodies too burned or disfigured to be identified, officials said.
    The mass murder near the rural town of Iguala, in the crime-hot state of Guerrero, may be one of the worst massacres since the clampdown on Mexico’s drugs gangs began eight years ago, and suspicion has fallen on local police links to a gang known as Guerrero Unido.

    Not forgetting the common be headings and torture of victims that happen there.

    You can say this as often as you like, it will never be true.
