Guns Of Summer Blast Syria

During the past several decades militant Muslim groups attacked Israel or engaged in hijacking against European planes. Many in the Middle East greeted these attacks with joy at the oppressor being defeated. Today in Syria President Bashar Al-Assad has unleashed  terror against his own people. It was  simply a matter of time before his opponents openly engaged in militant attacks. Yesterday, a group of Assad opponents attacked a private TV station that supports the government. At least seven employees were killed, others kidnapped and buildings blown up.

We are witnessing the initial stages of a long term guerrilla warfare campaign against Assad. There will be suicide bombings, innocent civilians killed while sitting in a restaurant, kidnappings, and roadside bombs. Gaze south to Iraq if one wants to see Syria, circa, 2013.

The ides of July will soon be upon us with death and destruction as its messengers of hate.

Don’t Mess With Turkey

We offer some unsolicited advice to the government of Syria- if you guys have any common sense, don’t mess with the Turkish army. I hate to tell you folks but those Turks have artillery, air planes, tanks, guided missiles and other such stuff that is not currently possessed by the people in your land who want an end to dictatorship. The Turkish government believes their jet plane was downed by Syrian planes while it was flying over international waters.

President Bashar al-Assad, just like his dad, has never confronted an opposing force which can implement its forceful words with force. Bashar might trust his own army, but yesterday about 200 left Syria and crossed the border into Turkey.  This is one time Bashar will pay and pay or face the consequence which not might be exactly what he desires.

Bashar, shut up, apologize, and pay the price of downing a Turkish air force plane.

Syria Shoots A Plane From Air

President Bashar al-Assad sends his planes daily into the sky where they engage in missions of destruction. They zoom over villages, blast away at civilians who lack any means of fighting back. Yesterday, an air force jet plane from Turkey was attacked by Syrian planes which shot it down. It is one thing to blast away at defenseless civilians, another to take on the powerful military force of Turkey. President Abdullah Gul made clear to the leaders of Syria they picked on the wrong guy and the wrong country.

Gul said quietly, “it’s no possible to cover up a thing like this. Whatever is necessary will be done.” The “will be done” can include anything from sending Turkish planes over the skies of Syria to shoot down a few planes or massing Turkish soldiers on the Syrian border. Unfortunately for Assad, neither Russia nor China can bully the Turks.

Women Threaten Turkish Police!

A few years ago two Turkish women went out for a walk along  Istikla Avenue in the  city of Istanbul. It was a pleasant day, they were chatting when suddenly police halted them demanding identity cards. At this point, the story becomes muddled, the women claim they did produce the documents, but an argument ensued. For some  reason, the police slapped the women and took them to the jail house where the women were further physically assaulted.

The police charged they feared for their lives from some action by these two   females. They further charge the women insulted them. And, they are members of the POLICE  force so how dare any citizen make insulting remarks to them., The women finally were in court  where the judge sent them to prison for five  months for “insulting police officers.”

We suggest to readers that when in Istanbul  talk politely to members of the police force, they quickly get feelings hurt if you make a nasty remark to them.

 

Get Off The Bus-Shameless Woman!!

Yagmur Yilmaz, a 21 year old Turkish woman was headed home and waited for the next bus to appear. Along came the bus, she boarded it only to be greeted with shouts of “shame, shame” from a group of bearded Turben clad men and women wearing their burqas. They shouted for her to get off the bus along with her sweat pants and tee shirt. The bus driver said nothing, no one no the bus came to her defense as the shouts grew louder and threats became more frightful. She waited for the next bus.

Many years ago during the Civil Rights movement white skinned Christian men and women shouted for blacks to get off the bus as they shouted for the right to get on the bus. Recently in Israel, religious fanatics tried to force women to sit on one side of the bus. We offer the following suggestion to all religious  fanatics whether Muslim, Christian or Jewish:

1. Have you folk considered forming a coalition of religious fanatics?

2. How about buses  that only cater to religious nut cases. They could be equal opportunity buses for any member of a religion that just knows what God wears.

Flash! I just was informed by God Himself that he daily goes for a work out and wears sweat pants!

From Mouth Of Israel Village Idiot!

I admit to believing that Michele Bachman is an idiot, but in all fairness to the ignorant lady from Minnesota, she is surpassed in stupidity by the Israel Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman. A few years ago, this excuse for a diplomat deliberately insulted the Turkish ambassador to his nation but deliberately giving him a low chair in his office. Avigdor was asked by an American diplomat to consider apologizing for the death of nine Turkish citizens during the ill fated flotilla to Gaza. Here is what A DIPLOMAT responded:

“The Pakistanis asked the US to apologize and the Americans said, ‘no way.’ So when the US asked Israel to apologize over killing nine Turks,” then “sometimes even to the best of friends you must say, ‘no.’ Why, “otherwise no one will respect you.” In other words, if you took my toy, I will take the toy of someone else, otherwise no kid will respect me.

Who is this man?How could any nation of the world make him their foreign minister? He belongs in a play pen with the other children. And, this is the man Israel wants to represent their nation??

Kill Babies Save Country!

The Republican Party finally has been offered an excellent approach to dealing with poverty in America–kill children of poor people right after they are born! Mustafa Aydin, a principal of an elementary school in Turkey has a solution to end crime and poverty in his nation, one that can be adopted here in America. “Children should be analyzed immediately after birth. If they are to become harmful to the country, to the nation they should be eliminated immediately. Just take blood samples of criminals, if a child has a similar blood sample, say goodbye to that kid.

Here is the perfect Republican platform to end deficits in this country.

1.  Any child born to a family that is on food stamps, is eliminated before this kid joins the line.

2. Any child born to a family that earns under $10,000 a year, should be eliminated. Notice this is NO’T abortion. Let them get  born and THEN kill the little poor bastards.

3.  Any child who does not attain at least an 80 score on IQ test can be taken to an Exit Facility and given a good meal before being sent off to another place.

These simple steps will allow reduction in billions of dollars and thus avoid making Job Creators pay additional taxes. Of course, we will create an entire group of new Jobs for those who are part of the corps that ends the lives of poor children.

Egyptians Want God, Not Jobs

There are people in this world who believe that God is on their side and spends his time worrying about their lives rather than wandering the universe seeking to prevent it from blowing itself up. In a recent poll, 60% of Egyptians wanted their nation to emulate the world of Saudi Arabia rather than that of Turkey. Saudi Arabia is a society controlled by a few thousand very wealthy people while Turkey has a vibrant economy and millions are moving into an economic status worthy of a modern society. Most Egyptians want religion in government as is so prevalent in Saudi Arabia rather than the Turkish model which respects religion but does not allow it to dominate government.

Yes, Egyptians actually believe Sharia law will result in a more prosperous nation. Of course, 10% of Egyptians are Coptic Christians, but, what the heck, they also should follow the Muslim religion if they want to be saved. Egypt contains millions of young people who cannot find jobs that match educational levels. However, if fellow Egptians have their way, no job,  but plenty of time in a mosque will lead to happiness.

Can A Muslim State Respect Religions?

The Arab Spring has spread through the Middle East leaving in its wake newly strong Islamic political parties which  are ready to  assume control of their nations. Turkey historically in the 20th century displayed respect for all religions since secular groups led the country. However, since the triumph of the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, Turkey has been witnessing growing intolerance toward its Christian minority. Pastor Semih Serlek recounts the forced entry into his church by a group of Muslim youth who demanded that he recite Muslim prayers. Many pastors report harrassment of Christians by militants and failure of the government to protect non-Muslims.

Turkey is at a crossroads and its Muslim government must decide whether or not to respect those who are not Muslim. Denying the righ to build new churches, allowing militants to  attack non-Muslims and displaying a lack of support for Christians will only exacerbate religious  violence. It will also doom any chance to enter the European Union.

Is Iran Telling The Truth?

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan just returned from a trip to Iran where he discussed the current nuclear dispute with Iranian leaders. He was told that “the supreme leader(Ayatollah Khamenei) viewed weapons of mass destruction as religiously prohibited and against Islam.” US Seccretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Erdogan and then issued a statement urging Iranian leaders to translate those words “into a plan of action.”

Clinton is working to avoid an armed conflict with Iran  despite a push from Israel for war, war, war.  She urged Iran to understand that “the international community now wants to see actions associated with that statement of belief.” She understands one must engage  in “jaw, jaw, rather than war, war.” There is a basis for compromise, work for that goal.
