You can disagree, you can discuss, but having another opinion can NEVER be an excuse for racism!

So that makes it ok? He deserved it? While attitudes like this exist, so will groups like the PKK....

no,as most people know here, okkes is kurdish.I personally could not give two hoots about the whole kurdish/turkish debate but when it comes to people supporting TERRORIST groups that have murdered innocent civilians, children etc i have no sympathy, think of it whatever you will because I could never condone someone supporting groups such as PKK, Al Qaeda, IRA etc etc.

Then you are as fundamentalist as them! Personally I would love the chance to talk to someone who supports such an extreme group and discuss their thoughts and feelings. Until people TALK and stop HATING these groups will flourish as more and more people continue to feel like outcasts in society.

I always sympathized with the IRA as well as the INLA, till the IRA made the cease-fire agreement with the British troops. Hope there is no MI5 spy haunting this site!

God save Ireland (along with us) from British Imperialism!

As I said robyn, I think the Turkish obviously have very good reasons for the way they feel towards the PKK and I wouldn't be defending someone who admitted to being PKK.

However, as this particular member was abused from the second he announced that he was Kurdish how do you know he didnt just think that attack was the best form of defence?

Also, you know I wasn't just referring to the conversation on Wednesday night but to the fact that this happens all the time against Kurds - and always started by the same Turkish racists.
