Reader comment on item: Crisis in Turkey
in response to reader comment: Our dear Yasmin and more Turkish delusions
Submitted by the Grand Infidel of Kaffiristan (Australia), Mar 12, 2010 at 03:50
Hi Dhimmi (pbuh),
It's a pity Jasemin follows the religion of the arabs. Clearly it has taken that particular culture nowhere -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbCicT1OoRQ&feature=related (yes, an astonishing sight - an arab admitting the cold, harsh truth. Is this the correct time to use the term 'sobnallah'?)
You would have hoped the Turks were a little bit more pragmatic in that regard and drop rather than embrace blinding ignorance.
