31. A PERFECT HIT FOR A DRONE TO BOMB THE FUNERAL
GLENN ,   YUCAIPA,USA   (05.09.11)
32. These people are stupid
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (05.09.11)
Osama must be turning in his wave.
33. Imagine how many mourners if Bin Laden had a grave!
Joe ,   Canada   (05.09.11)
34. Give me a break
TimT ,   Canada   (05.09.11)
In every nation there are a few idiots/nut jobs. To equate their beliefs/actions on the 99.9% rest of the normal population is silly. Turkey is a nation that has endured much at the hands of terrorists.
35. #9 - yes.
(05.09.11)
OBL was an evil Arab Islamofascist... and its a tribal war that you are waging, isn't it. To feel more secure, you can rub yourself against the nose cone of an Israeli nuclear weapon warhead.
36. NATO
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (05.09.11)
After this nonsense - NATO should stand for "Now's Appropriate Turkey Out"
37. OBL "funeral" in Turkey
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.09.11)
How appropriate that thousands of turkeys gathered to mourn this criminal in Turkey.
38. IT'S DIFFICULT TO MAKE A DISTINCTION
American ,   US   (05.09.11)
between turkey and iran.
39. Martyr?
YETI7575 ,   Seattle, USA   (05.09.11)
Usually a martyr dies defending something worthwhile... He died running away, after sending CHILDREN to bomb targets all over the place... He was a CHICKEN!!!
40. funeral
Marilyn ,   USA   (05.09.11)
They'd have to answer the why and how violence against America makes sense or how it's supposed to make anything better. It's like mindlessly chanting things with absolutely no thought. Look at these wars that Bin Laden set off. He liked to be able to orchestrate and comment on things and kill people (preferably working class people), while being safely someplace else. He had to pay the price for his sins, and that's just life.
41. awe struck #4
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.09.11)
While 50% of the Turkish population might be on your side the other half are in the same class with these nut jobs. Serdar Turgut of Haberturk believes that in June AKP and his nut jobs will lose votes. Do you believe this could be possible? Do you believe the "awe strucks" of Turkey will cancel their summer vacations to Cesme, Bodrum and marmaris to stay in Istanbul and vote for CHP? If AKP wins again the west will start be9ing seriously annoyed at these events such as Bin Laden funerals etc.
42. RE: osama bin laden and the muslims
joel ,   usa   (05.09.11)
THE MUDERER OSAMA BIN LADEN IS HONORED BY MUSLIM "TURKEYS" AND THAT'S THEIR MORAL VALUE EXHIBITED TO THE WHOLE WORLD, WHICH SATAN THEIR LEADER IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT! A BUNCH OF MURDERERS DO NOT DESERV TO BE A FRIEND OF ISRAEL!
43. on #2, dave
joel ,   usa   (05.09.11)
the ottoman turks( turkeys ) held the land of palestine( philistines ) for a long time, they were driven out by the british empire totally out of the area; they want to come back out of shame on that; but no way they can do it?
44. Yeah- Turkey 'the friend of the west'... NOT!
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.09.11)
In a year or two, Turkey will look just like Pakistan- or worse.
45. #20 For once
Tahl   (05.09.11)
I'd like to see a post of yours which does NOT demonize Israel in any way. I was hoping to see it here, in a news story where Israel did nothing wrong and the "bad guys" are on the other side - but you simply couldn't help your nature, and found a way to spit on Israel here too. It's a great example of the classic leftist talkback tactic: if a news story shows Israel negatively, trash Israel only. If it shows Israel's enemies negatively, trash both sides.
46. good more terrorist to go to hell soon i will be bussy
joe   (05.09.11)
47. If Israel was involved,then binny would
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.09.11)
have been dead long ago. But why are they cursing britainistan? Isn't already part of the caliphate? Were those demonstrators the turkish chapter of nuturei karta?
48. Interesting role model
john   (05.09.11)
"warrior for Islam" = man who pushes own wife into soldiers to protect himself? "warrior for Islam" = man who sits around all day in his underwear watching vides of himself? Real hero you guys got!
49. to #22 what kind of religion? some ancient
ghostq   (05.09.11)
religions never went to holly war, and r very peacful, like Budahism, not every religion got malise intentions,
50. #44 yeah America "the democratic leader of the free world"
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (05.09.11)
NOT... The US is already worse then Pakistan lol
51. Who Delivered The Euolgy?
Wondering   (05.09.11)
The little bearded monkey, nah he's too busy with infighting with his baba the supremeless leader? It must have been iran's turkish lacky erDOGan? Just Wondering?
52. #50 from world
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.09.11)
But if you had a choice between living in the USA and Pakistan you would choose USA. And if you live in Pakistan you would be looking for a way to migrate the USA.
53. These folks are misguided!
IRAN #1   (05.09.11)
I don't know who they are but these folks are misled and misguided. The majority of muslims in the world never identified with OBL despite all the propaganda that the "western media" fed their people! Proof positive is lack of any demonstration or protests of any major significance anywhere in the world. Now contrast that with what happened after the Mohamad Cartoons or the recent burning of the Koran. That tells you how little OBL meant to the masses in Islamic countries.
54. What happened to our ally?
Canan Agaoglu ,   Medford   (05.19.11)
My father came from Turkey......and I remember as a child what a wonderful country it was, and still is. However, I am dismayed at what it's become.......it used to be non-secular, and most welcomed the modernization brought about by Attaturk. But now, sadly, there seems to be a growing number of those ignorantly promoting the Fundamentalist views of Islam. It is embarrassing and shameful to see this happening in a country I was once proud of.
55. Totally misleading news story
Peter ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (05.23.11)
The "thousands" shown seem to be simply attending Friday prayer. A small group of them after prayer make a scene. This is then reported as "thousands mourn Obama Bin Laden". Nice work.
