1. Good News

Alhamdulillah (thanks God), you start to realize the importance of your brothers. Don't enslave yourself bending down before the arrogant Europeans.
2. turkey
moron ,   galut   (09.16.10)
europe has already rejected turks-no wonder tthey look east
3. Bon voyage!
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.16.10)
And take all the Turkish "high potentials" with you that are living from European welfare.
4. Turkey won't be joining the EU anytime soon
zionist forever   (09.16.10)
Erdogan is showing more and more support for the hardline islamists every day. He has become good friends with Iran allowing them to build early warning stations on Turkish territory & even promised air force support if Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilites. The good old days when Obama was off touring the islamic world saying America loves you and he was calling on the EU to admit Turkey on the grounds it was a muslim state and he thought the EU should be reaching out to the muslims more. Those days are over Obama is no longer the darling of the islamic world and he is no longer an icon back home. Right now the only die hard Obama lovers are the US jews & blacks and the EU. All the big boys in the EU don't want to admit Turkey. The only exception to that rule is David Cameron who is acting more like a liberal and calling for Turkeys admission as soon as possible. Turkey & the EU are not natural partners.
5. Translation
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.16.10)
"Yes, we know we have lost any chance of becoming a member of the European Union and yes, we know that NATO will kick our asses to the curb, so we are trying to make the best (!) of an extremely bad situation, so we are tying ourselves to Iran, a country about to bite the historical dust." Works for me.
6. No Big Surprise
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.16.10)
Turkey has been going more radical as time goes by. Frankly I'm not familiar with the politics of Turkey being part of the EU? It seems the Europeans have been reluctant to bring Turkey in anyway, but I really never understood why? To me it just seems they are moving towards Iran, and other terror sponsoring nations. I look at that, as going backwards as a culture. The flotilla incident was really the final incident. It proved in my book they were on the side of terrorist. Then when all evidence pointed to the passengers as terrorists, who started the chaos, Turkey has the gall to ask for an apology? It was nuts! That's when I knew they were gone as a civilized country, and on the Pallywood wagon. Believing the myth, over the facts. You guys from Europe, what do you think of this poll?
7. Truth is
Mehmet ,   istanbul   (09.16.10)
EU should just reject Turkey's membership honestly for everyone's sake.
8. I think Turkey is setting up the conditions for creation of

9. Muslims
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.16.10)
So all Muslims througout Europe should start packing up and head back to the desert of Arabia,where they origi nated as the Caucasian ,non-Muslim European would like his/her country back from the illiterate peasant welfare sucking leeches of Islam ,it,s time,yallah?

"Israel" is a European colony... The "Jews" that came from Europe...and EUROPEAN not "Israeli" and the Arab Jews that "fled" Arab countries are Arab... Jews still find it hard to understand,,,oh boy
11. Well...
Damir ,   Sarajevo, BiH   (09.16.10)
