Let's see if they can find a way to blame that on Brexit by tomorrow.

//Now Turkey Gets It// But do you? What's the point of that statement?

[Zacs-Master]

Yes Khandro. Very crass.

[Jackdaw33]

Perhaps clumsily phrased on my part. I meant that Turkey is now having to experience what has happened in western capitals; there is no border when it comes to terrorism.

[naomi24]

This isn't a first for Turkey - by a long way.

[Zacs-Master]

Clumsy and ill informed.

[naomi24]

Right to post it though. It's no minor occurrence.

[Gromit]

Turkey have been getting it for the last 3 years. Terrorism from PKK and ISIS.

I'm afraid you are showing your ignorance, and todays suicide attack is nothing new or a shift.

[Hypognosis]

@Gromit

Are the Kurds terrorists or freedom fighters?

The people who Sykes-Picot forgot
(page linked to does not support my assertion, it's just for reference)

Creating Kurdistan would be an interesting condition of EU entry (to add to the return of northern Cyprus).

Why do you all choose to pick on Jacks English and turn of phrase rather than condemn the subject matter I wonder?

[murraymints]

oh dear not again

[ummmm]

It's the 5th terrorist attack this year. 'Now Turkey gets it' makes it sound like the first.

YMB - I think you can confidently assume that everyone condemns the attacks.

[youngmafbog]

ummm, unfortunately I'm not confident. In the past there has been a fair bit of support for terrorist groups on here.

I just feel the right-on sneering on this site sometimes seems to override some very serious matters. The sneering is generally, as on here, not accompanied by any attempt to address the OP even though we know what they are getting at.

[ummmm]

I have NEVER seen any support for terrorists on this site. I seen people, me included, refuse to tar everyone with the same brush, but never support!

The attack, like all the others, is shocking. They might be aiming to harm the west but I really can't get my head round why they'd do it knowing they are harming their fellow Muslims livelihoods.

There seems no end to it.

Are you able to provide proof to back that statement up?

[Old_Geezer]

In fairness attacks on Turkey don't usually make headlines these days suggesting this is something more than the usual.
