yes, i know darling.
the symbol itself is not islamic at all, its borrowed from ancient cults that can be dated to 5-7 BC.
anyway, thanks for confirming.

Yersu,
love your fantasy. i mean love you turks making up stories.
did sultan also send money to portsmouth?
The crest of Drogheda United is an adaptation of the crest of Drogheda town´s coat of arms, which feature the heraldic symbols of a star and crescent over a shield depicting St. Lawrence´s Gate, three lions and a ship. The three lions passant represent England - as Drogheda lay within the Pale and was a garrison town - and the ship represents the town´s port.
While Drogheda United share the same symbols and colours as Trabzonspor, in Turkey - both recently declared to be brother teams.
What does this whole thing have to do with my tendency of making up stories? Go to Google, type "Irish Ottoman", click the first result and you will see the text I´ve quoted. I didn´t make it up, yet is seems to be incorrect so thanks for the correction.
I find your remarks about making up fantasies distasteful, do not go there.

yeh, yersu my dear boy. who cares what is tasteful or not. all in all im not here to make tasty. i make it sour and bitter.
yes there is a huge tendency among easterners to create urban myths, because there is a complex of west in them.
and why the heck would you take for true anything you find in the internet? dont you check it first? you need some critical eye. you dont paste the first text your eyes catch.

It always makes me laugh a little how my husband, who is Turkish, tries to insist that EVERYTHING is Turkish. Really, I am Irish and just want to be Irish....I don´t care who migrated to where hundreds of years ago and might have breed with an outside tribe. Honestly, with all the migrating that went on in the world, is anyone really a pure blooded anything? Woops, sorry, the Turks are the only unspoilt people on earth! hahaha
And, Lemon....do try to not be so sour! You are making my face pucker!

Well I would really like to say I learnt my lesson and it will not happen again but tbh. it is very hard to verify everything you post. Anyway; being an "Easterner" and classifying yourself under the pronoun "we", you have all my sympathies
Yes we indeed have many stories like that, especially the notorious "X´s are actually Turks" (X: variable) claims etc. I know some of those are fantasies, a lot of those stories have to do with a failed imperial past and being an insignificant 3rd world country nowadays, but I just feel like defending when someone points it out anyway. That´s why I said don´t go there, because even if you tell the truth I will have to discuss and defend somehow

Actually, the fact that many Turks try to find commonality in different cultures is flattering in a way. It reminds me of the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," when the father in the movie always tried to find the Greek root of every word (even if the word was Japanese). It is human nature to seek what is common in obviously different things. Human nature dictates that we try to connect to eachother.

ahahahaha you made my day! loved your posts. you see the point is i go anywhere i want to! thats the beauty of it.
and please, dont you ever get offended by my posts. i post out of boredom.
many kazakhs create urban legends and believe in them. and when you reveal the truth to them they get wounded. they suddenly feel exposed, naked and humiliated. and their reaction is a defence at all costs.
