The Irony of It

Turkey asked NATO to position Patriot batteries on its border against Syrian air attacks. The first contingent of 240 German soldiers arriving to operate the system were attacked by furious Turkish demonstrators (pic) - they protest against American troops on Turkish soil. How does it feel for a typically anti-American German soldier being mistaken for a yankee?

Anyway they are all kufrs invading Daar al Islam. The quartering of American troops in Saudia Arabia was one of bin Laden's main complaints. Are you surprised that Islamists in Turkey don't like kufrs either? Yankee Go Home still sells on the worldwide Left, the intended audience for these banners (notice they aren't in Turkish but in today's international lingua franca - English. Ironic that you display your hatred in the language of the conqueror, but then again who the hell would understand you if you spoke Turkish?) "Infidel Go Home" doesn't have quite the same ring - the leftists might realize that they really don't have that much in common with Islamists other than a hatred of America and we can't have that.

They are probably recycling old banners "Yankee Go Home". Maybe they buy them second hand from Venezuela.

In Venezuela, they get them from Cuba in exchange for oil, but they read "Yanqui Go Home".

I don't like the Kurds, but I look forward them outnumbering the Turks one day. Turks do a good genocide though so it might not even get to that stage.

The kurds are the closest genetic people to the jews.

South eastern Turkey is a different country of Western Turkey, the Istanbul middle-class is the same as any European mediterranean people.

No, the Kurds are not the closest people genetically to the Jews unless your knowledge of population genetics literature ended in 2004 and you were limited to uniparental DNA haplotype analysis. The field has come a long way in 9 years, and that old Nebel article is out of date.

There is a Kurdish autonomous zone in Iraq and now in North Syria. Turkey is a bi-national country, fragile and divisible. The war could end in a genocide.

I don't see the Turks ever accepting the division of Turkey. The Yankees also wouldn't like this.

I dont know how the creation of Kurdistan is of American interest or disinterest. Divide et impera.

It's of American interest in the Wilsonian self-determination sense. Look at how well Versailles worked out. No, wait...

Turkey is barrier between the middle-east and Europa.

They are not kufrim-they are ahl al kitab.

The banners are in English for the same reason that the banners of the Arab Spring were in English-there is one sovereign state in the world today, and you must appeal to it in its language.

Most Europeans nowadays never see the inside of a church except for tourism. They are post-Christian so it's not wrong to consider them kufrs. They dance to African music, go around naked on the beach, etc. so what should an Arab think?
