what a start to 2017, our sympathy for all the loved ones

[Baldric]

Absolutely horrendous, no doubt the Denialists will be along shortly to explain it.

[Prudie]

Dreadful. You are almost certainly correct Balders

[Lie-in King]

Appalling.

[dieseldick]

said it before 2-3 yrs ago , this is nothing compared with what you have infront of you , nothing !!

blame the liberals.

[ummmm]

Blame the liberals? In which country?

[naomi24]

What can anyone say except expect more?

[fiction-factory]

Absolutely horrendous. I will try to explain it- it was a terror attack and has all the hallmarks of those done in the name of Islam in recent times. Does that make me a denialist?

[ummmm]

Nope FF....and I don't know anyone on this site that would deny it.

[mikey4444]

Neither do I Ummmm.

[ToraToraTora]

yep another belter from the religion of peace. Is there any possibility that they have misunderstood what the prophet/Allah meant?

[Gromit]

The terrorist acts in Turkey are political rather than religious in origin.

A number of factors are involved:
- Turkey's involvement in Syria, make them a target from IS
- Turkey's continued oppression of its Kurds, makes them a threat
- A deeply divide country and its slide into dictatorship
- The Government will use this to lock up even more of Erdogan's political opposition
- An attempt by outside forces to destablise the country (take your pick from CIA, Russia, Iran, Saudis)

To just blame Islam is rather over simplifying a complex situation.

Gromit...stop it....you will just confuse some people....they like nice simple explanations, with the words Muslim in it.

[jno]

maybe some motive will emerge, but at the moment it sounds more like one of those American high school massacres than like a religiously motivated terror attack. My kneejerk reaction would be to suspect Kurds, whose beef against Turks is over their desire for a homeland, rather than for stricter Islam; but we'll see.

[ToraToraTora]

right so it's not the fluffy bunny Muslims committing acts of terror, glad you cleared that up.

[tamborine]

Mostly muslims injured and killed by a terrorist, who may be muslim

[mikey4444]

TTT...what Gromit has explained is when we are dealing with Turkey, the situation is more complicated.
