Quoting aenigma x: Quoting alameda: In reading posts here I have not seen anyone telling foreigners to stay out of Turkey. However, it is not unreasonable to expect one's guests to be respectful of one's own home.
I have on the other hand seen you (and the other gang of 3) being insulting and abusive regarding Turkish and Islamic culture. Instead of engaging in a dialogue that would fruther understanding and tolerance, you seem to want things your way and do not seek to find the wisdom of any other way.
Your cultural Imperialism reeks in most all of your posts. You disrespect the ideals and values of others and heap insults on those that do not agree with you want.
Words are powerful. They can help create peace and happiness or reap disharmony and contempt. I would advise you to be more sensitive and thoughtful in your posts and perhaps wait a while and reread and rethink your posts.
It appears to me that if you love your culture so much, why are you going to Turkey and spending time on a Turkish forum? Or is it that you like the beaches and sun in Turkey and would prefer to just transplant your culture there and get rid of the actual Turkish culture. Anyway, that's what it looks like, and I might mention that Briton does have a long history in that area.

Alameda, you have made allegations about me in this personal attack (which by the way, for someone who loves to quote rules at me, is AGAINST forum rules). I am well aware that you didn't like me disagreeing with you on a number of occasions and presumably you decided this was a good opportunity to get some kind of personal revenge.
Dont even BEGIN to tell me about my country's history. I am not proud of some of my country's past, and have never pretended otherwise. I will not copy the trend of others on this forum by insulting your country just because you insult mine, but if I did - it would take me all night!!!
I would like you to justify your comment that I am abusive and disrespectful about Islam. The rest of your comments are based on your assumptions of my character, and therefore, while completely unfounded, I really dont care to justify to someone like YOU.

First of all, you have no idea of what my nationality is. My profile says I'm in the USA, it does not say anything regarding my ethnicity or sex. The USA is a multicultural multiethnic society where at this time there are a great amount of disagreements on the current path taken.
I did not say you insulted Islam, I said "Turkish and Islamic culture". There is a difference.
As for who I am and what I'm like, you have no idea.
This has nothing to do with personal revenge, it's about the desire to have a more civil discourse and stop the infantile insults and veiled innuendos.
It is obvious the Gang of Three has insulted quite a few here with off hand remarks regarding others cultures.
At this particular time in history we must tread very lightly. Do you not agree?
