When Israel refused to claim total victory in all the ways they have fought with their fool neighbours since the 40's...is the reason they are in this mess! When the state of Israel was created, Jordan was also created for the arabs (now calling themselves Palestininans) at the same time. They have their piece of earth, and want all Israel, and will not , never be satisfied with merely gaza and other stips of the land. For them its all or nothing. Since Israeli's have no where to go, I suggest that for them, moderation is NOT an option.

Turkey is a secular country and these 10.000 people cannot represent Turkey.. These Islamists are extreme- minority of the Turkish population. Turkey is a tourism country which is full of art,music also science and it has no any Islamic features.

Mike.. These 10.000 fanatic Islamists cannot represent Turkey because they are extreme minority. Turkey is a secular country which has strong ties with Israel.. Erdogan's wrong policy must not ruin the relations between two countries.You can diss this horrible prime minister but should not accuse Turkey. Coz Turkey's original policy is having strong relations with Israel.. Not this.. George Bush supported Erdogan and Islamism in Turkey, and here are the results.. Unfortunately..

Dear Jack, You should not define Turkish people as "killers" and you can ask to the millions of tourists who visit Turkey that how beautiful people are in Turkey.

Dear Carsten.. You are RIGHT that these people are backward and although i am Turkish i hate these people. BUT these 10.000 fanatic Islamists cannot represent Turkey because they are extreme minority. Turkey is a secular country which has strong ties with Israel.. Erdogan's wrong policy must not ruin the relations between two countries.You can diss this horrible prime minister but should not accuse Turkey.

The USA should immediately stop supporting Erdogan and Islamism in Turkey coz Turkey is a modern,secular state which is donated by tourism,art and culture.Not terrorism. And the country is NOT backward, only some people are backward.. You can ask it to the millions of German tourists who visit our beautiful cities every year, they will tell you how great Turkish people are generally..

A question for you Gorkem. We know that Erdogan has been turning the clock backwards. And he has forgotten Ataturk's way that brought the country back from darkness into a good modern and sort of democratic country. I am sure he would be appalled to see what Erdogan & Gul are doing to upset your country. That he has been embracing Islamism by his friendship wih Syria, Hizballah and of course the worse is Iran. My question is this:When are your next elections to take place can you inform us? And who is likely to represent a moderate,democratic AND REAL SECULAR LEADER that your majorityof the population likely to vote in. Oh I forgot,how much longer has Erdogan got before HE IS THROWN OUT OF OFFICE? I mean his end of term in ofice. I am curious to know because he is behaving like an Islamofascist by the day. Advance thanks Ve iyi gecheler

Being born and raised in Turkey and being 60 years old I know many Turks just like you who do not deserve this AKP leadership. However you must also know that because of AKP and Erdogan ( I like to call him Recep Bey as Kilicdaroglu does) the face of Turkey around the world is no longer thje one that was drawn by Kemal Ataturk. Today th eface of Turkey is represented by the round bearded (Top sakalli) dagger wielding provocateurs that were captured inside teh Mavi Marmara. It is the duty of every Turk like you to do change this image by first ousting this AKP leadership and second by restoring the good relations with the west and Israel. Unfortunately this year I cancelled my yearly visit to Turkey and my relatives due to the hatred coming out from Taksim square in Istanbul by the Yobaz.. Hopefully next year things will be better. Saygilarimla,

Thank you for your kindly message.. Unfortunately because of Erdogan and his likes off, Turkey lost it's chance to become one of the best countries in Europe.. Ataturk worked very hard and made a great country and it's very sad to see this result. Who can believe that Turkey is one of the first countries in Europe to give all the rights to women before many of other Eu countries, and who can believe that we are using the same civil law with Switzerland? We deserve a lot of respect.. But unfortunately Turkey's ruined image does not let it be.. Anyway. Our next elections will be in mid-2011 and there's only 1 party to vote and it's Republican People's Party which is a European standart-modern party. (Now it's opposition party) But the problem is Erdogan cheats on the elections and i am sure he will do it again next year. I really don't know what to do.. Republican People's Party should put thousands of observers to control the elections.. If by chance, Erdogan loses the elections, he may even lose his immunity and even can go to prison.. Because he made a lot of mistakes against Turkey's secular laws, sometimes he does not even care the laws! That's why he deserves a big punishment and it's possible when he lose the elections.

First of all thank you for your friendly message. It's nice to meet you. It's very sad to see that Turkey has a ruined image because of a brain-washed ignorant prime minister. I cannot believe that we have such a PM. It is very strange that although we have such a secular,modern life style, we have such a PM.. Unfortunately he cheats in the elections that why he wins. Just walk around the Turkish streets, and ask people which party they voted for. None of them says Erdogan.. So how he wins? That's the cheating.. I support Republican People's Party, and Kilicdaroglu is going strong.. If Erdogan dont provoke the elections, i am sure Kilicdaroglu will win.. By the way, i am VERY SORRY that you cancelled your visit to Turkey. You are always welcomed here.. That extreme protesters in Taksim were all haters of Ataturk .They blame Ataturk for establishing a secular state. I am a 24 years old boy and it's the first time i saw something like that. I don't know where are that people are living because normally i don't see that kind of people around.. After protests they dissappeared. Today i was in Taksim and everything is OK.. It's still the same place where people are drinking their wines and beers and dancing in the nightclubs..:) There's nothing to worry, as i said you are always welcomed..
