You’re the one wishing death on people, yet you think OTHERS are here to act like assholes?

I’m genuinely agnostic on the “why” question. But I do know that a Gawker site would never have published an article seeking a nuanced explanation of apparent bigotry/racism if the shoe were on the other foot. They’d have called it sickening racism and moved on.

I don’t think enough of the picture was painted here. Turkey is the number 1 gateway of jihadis to Syria and is the number 1 purchaser of ISIS oil. ISIS is being propped up, unintentionally or not, by Turkey. Which within itself isn’t given enough attention.

What country do you think is letting the most foreign fighters pass through its border on their way to join ISIS in Syria? Do people think that is just a coincidence or an oversight on their part? They have troops on the border to keep ISIS out but they allow ranks of people flow through to go join them? Explain that

Save yourself the hysterical searching and rambling. Thousands of soccer fans were not pondering the geopolitical influences and strategies here. There are many more Muslims than people want to acknowledge who, though not participating in violence themselves, are sympathetic to the cause and tacitly (or here more

There are no unanswered questions here.

If it was meant as a protest that other victims weren’t memorialized it was incredibly stupid — unbelievable actually, these articles are mental gymnastic exercises. The lack of remorse for Middle Eastern victims is awful, one I am ashamed of. But just ass backwards and detrimental to disrupt a memorial. Victims and

So much for terrorism reflecting the viewpoint of only a small minority of Muslims.

The fans booed the Paris moment of silence because Turkey is not the country Westerners think it is or want it to be. Turkey has become deeply conservative and Islamist under Erdogan and it is hurting our war on ISIS, thanks to its horrible actions against the Kurds.

This article’s description of the Kurds’ actions in

So chanting Allahu Akbar is the equivalent of “go team.” Nice job, Billy. Perhaps it’s time to head back to the JC to finish your AA degree in journalism, you glorified blogger you.

Wow what a way to philosophize and explain away the Takbir, the battle cry of Islamic conquerers. You deadspin authors should be ashamed of yourselves. How do you look at yourself in the mirror, you coward, “Bill Haisley.” You aren’t deserving of the rights you so abuse. You will not stand up for the freedom of

Turkey is an ally in the fight against Daesh like herpes is an ally in the fight against AIDS.

The elephant in the room is the fact that, whereas the percentage of assassins-for-the-faith in the muslim world is very small, the percentage of muslims who sympathize with those assassins’ motives. if not necessarily their means, is very large.

Because Turkey is the asshole of the earth. They deny the holocaust ever happened and wave Nazi salutes at any Jewish team too, but nobody cares about that. They also maintained open borders with Syria long enough for all the Turkish Buttholes in their country to go join and support that shitshow, so this doesn’t

What about the people who witnessed it but didn’t punch them in the face? Are they really so much better?

None of this matters! Innocent people were killed and the Turks in this stadium booed the moment of silence that honored them. No matter how you cut that, it is FUCKING WRONG! Fucking apologist dumbass.

Jesus Christ. Look at you guys tie yourselves into knots to explain “all the reasons” why this happened. You just can’t bring yourselves to say it.

Allahu Akbar is just something tossed around for fun. Nice one Billy. All those ISIS and Al Qaeda guys are just big soccer fans cheering on their team. It must be hard to be this dumb but somehow you manage.

look at the mental gymnastics you’re doing to excuse this!!!

Gawker, you work so hard to be open minded contrarians that it sometimes makes you stupid.
