We have here a new and bizarre criterion of truth! For the Turk "truth" has an national character. What a Turk says is true because truth belongs to his nationality ... and Islam , of course. What a non-Turk says is false as long as it isn't identical with what a Turk says. First, listen to the Turk, repeat it and he will benignly agree that you're right! ...Greeks and Armenians ... and Bulgarians and Russians and ......and... contrdict the Turk , therefore eo ipso they are wrong! Thus by "other nationalities" our True Turk (OzTurk) means "those non-Turks that parrot Turkish fairy tales".

Can you imagine that I am no Greek or Armenian? Hardly , what? You have your new "universal criterion" of truth - sweet silly lie that helps every Turk feel so happy about all things Turkish. Ne mutlu turk barbarim diyene!

And it's most symptomatic that instead of dealing with factual charges you Moslems always make attacks on your critic's person or nationality evading thus the hard necessity of contradicting all logic and probability by defending the obvious lie in which you have been brought up. It's ALWAYS the same infantile trick you apply ...ad nauseam! You brain-washed Islamo-Kemalists are simply unable to face any logical argument that runs counter to your self-glorifying myth of Turkish perfection. It's unpleasant to be unmasked for what you are - bloody wolves in sheep's clothing, isn't it?

>And isn't it truly amazing that a fictional movie "The Valley Of the Wolves" ...

Fictional? The movie starts with the "Hood Incident" - a highly unfictional event in Northern Iraq on July 4, 2003 (incidentally it was Independence Day !) when some US soldiers arrested 11 Turkish thugs - who turned out to be incidently Turkish officers - and put bags over their heads. The images provoked an outcry of both Turkish "secularists" and Islamists. The Turkish public was probably even more indignant about the failure of the mission of the Turkish killers who were about to assassinate the Kurdish governor. The killers hoped on Independence Day the Americans wouldn't be so vigilant. Yet the prospective killers were unlucky enough to be caught by some vigilant US patrol... The great Turkish pashas jailed by dirty American kafirs !!! What a shame! It provoked a wave of anti-American hatred and mass hysteria across "secularist" Turkey. All of it was duly ignored by the US media that prefer to make Russia or China the target of their asault while the "stalwart ally's" virtue must remain unstained.

> has somehow become factual, and those "evil" Turks are actually threatening the USA with nukes ???

"The Valley of the Wolves" is not a movie like any other. It is the most expensive ($11mln budget) and the most popular film ever made in Turkey. In spite of its brutal scenes there was no age limit imposed on viewing it. Thus practically every Turk knows this film and has been so attracted by it because it simply reflects his or her hidden opinions, longings and desires.

This film portrays Americans as nasty bastards and mass killers. The American atrocities include attacking a wedding party and killing the groom as well as a child –- in front of its mother of course –- before relishing in the torture of the survivors. The doctor who harvests organs is an American Jew who selects his victims as if in a concentration camp exporting their organs to the US and Israel.
The film makes Christians and Jews appear as repugnant, conspiratorial crusaders bent on building an Christian-Jewish empire at the expense of Islam. Islam, naturally, is depicted as the opposite –- a religion of peace and mercy. A very "secularist" message, isn't it?
All of it fiction? It just shows exactly what is every Turk's - with the adjective "secularist" or without it- subconsciousness. Anyway, this "best" Turkish movie ever is going to be shown in the Arab countries too.

>I honestly find it astonishing you're not more concerned about those grotesque aliens in potentially blowing up planet earth... You know the ones from the movie "The Men in Black"<

When a Turk says "honestly" he definetely means something special. The trick here consists again in diverting the attention from the serious and unflattering facts about Turkey and its anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism to the irrelevent and the silly. It's easier to speak of "aliens" than of the obvious fact of public humiliation and denigration of America by Moslem Turks.

>I sincerely advise you to go out more, because it may be the best remedy for overcoming your fears of those nasty turks, monsters, goblins etc from folklore ;)<

And I advise you to advise your lovely pashas and their submissive horde to repeal Article 313 , to allow free speech, to stop desecrating and devastating Christian cemeteries and shrines in Northern Cyprus, dismantle all the mosques built there after 1974, admit the well-documented fact of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides, stop persecuting the Kurds, reduce the mad military spendings on behalf of supporting the social and cultural sphere, break with Kemal's personality cult .... to start with .

If you follow my advice and I see some positive changes, I will follow yours and change my mind on the Turks which still fully deserve the meaning given to them in the language of the Ottomans -Oslamlica. For in Oslamlica "Turk" meant "barbarian", "uneducated, uncouth primitive". As a true Turk you should know that better than me - a non-Turk.
And then and only then we can speak of folklore and adjacent subjects.
