Quoting Trudy: Quoting Cacık: We are often too quick to assume that all Germans/Greeks hates Turks when really it is not the case. Having one or two friends who had a bad experience there cannot really give judgement to an entire nation. |
Well said, Cacik! That´s exactly what I meant.
And to Canli: if someone would dare to say that muslims are terrorists because of the attacks in Casablanca, London, Madrid and New York (plus some other events), you - yes you - would get furious and say that not all muslims are like these madmen. And you would be right in that opinion.
Therefor I say, you can´t say that all/most Germans hate/dislike Turks or that all/most Westerners hate/dislike muslims. Yes, there are, I know, also in Germany, also in my country. But to generalise, well THAT makes me at least a little angry because by doing that you´ll diminish the good relations between people of different religion, you degradate the acts of people working and living together.
A view like that sounds to me full of many prejudices. |
Again Trudy,you are talking about Muslims...Muslims are not region,are not a country,are not nationality,its a believe,people´s faith
You can compare Muslims to Christians,to Jewish...to whatever
But you compare a religion,or believers to the whole world ?!
How do you suppose i would answer this ?!
You are opening another issue here
We are talking about Turks,and Germans issue,yes ?
And you are talking about Muslims and the world issue?
İts another different thing
You can compare Egyptian to İsraelis,i agree,Turks to Greeks,i also agree
Again,i will say,i have never been there to judge by myself,i heard about it from Turks,i read about it,that Germans dont welcome Turks living among them,and read about many examples too
And i didnt hear or read other wise
İ didnt hear that german are happy Turks are living there,i didnt read Turks stiuations are good there,i didnt hear nor read such
Even at the Euro 2008 ´was still near´ things were boiling there between them,police were afraid of what will happen...ect
How do you expect me to form another opinion when this is the only thing i read,see and hear ?!
Even if we take your example,so at least you have heard/read Muslims said heyyy we are not terrorist
İn that case ´German/Turk´,i didnt!
But yes,i agree,there are always 2 sides to the coin...so maybe there is another one that i am not aware of.
