To Sultan - Terrorists or Freedom fighters

Sultan,

if you are being attacked by other Muslims then they are also terrorists.

I have no problem with your Turk mind. I know that the majority of Turks are much more moderate than the Islamofacists and I respect the Turks for their moderation.

However, the situation with the Kurds is not a matter of religion but of race. If they are battling with Turks on the border then it is doubtful that one can call this an act of terror. On the other hand, if they are repeating what the Islamofacists are doing in London, New York, Bali and elsewhere, in Instanbul then that is also terror. I doubt that the Kurds were responsible for the latest acts of terror in Turkey. I suspect that the latest bombing was also the work of Islamofacists.

Not all Muslims are Islamofacists for there are many who are happy to live in peace with the people around them, but when you do that you are not living according to what is written in the Koran.

Your mother was a good woman for teaching you not to do violence to others. May you always live by this teaching.
