Were those in the store Muslims as well?
I'm guessing those cities are going to be correlated with being less religious, but that's just a guess.
It's very strange you seem to think prohibition against alcohol in Islam has nothing to do with Islam. Although I'm sure we have a fair trial of what it would be like all over the Islamic world to drink in public. I'm sure no one is afraid of trying that experiment... It's a bit like pretending your country doesn't have gay people when you systemically oppress them from even coming out of the closet.We aren't seeing some kind of mass kristallnacht event around the world towards people who dare to drink in Ramadan. The guys in the news article are just retarded radicals. It's ridiculous to blame muslims or Islam for what they do.
Express dislike for such behavior, force the Muslim communities are large to take a good look at their actions? Folks are quick to dismiss on line comments despite the internet being the greatest tool for communications humans have invented. I truly believe Islam CAN and will integrate, but if we don't hammer them like was done with Christianity, the more fundamental followers will dictate its path.
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not but common sense doesn't really work here. You're mad, I'm mad. We're all MAD here."
Ah, that makes sense. My brother raised the question if those very dedicated to Ramadan are angered only by other Muslims drinking, or if they'd be angry seeing non-Muslims drink as well...
I'd say it's a pretty tricky question, since there's a pretty damned huge difference between radicalists and the rest.
Why is no one fighting back for?? pick up a chair or something and hit that bald yelling motherfucker in the head with it
Probably because it mentions a mob, not sure if anyone wants to intervene and get hurt themselves.
Don't be confused, the radicals are to blame in almost all cases. Your average muslim isn't going to do or say anything against people drinking/listening to Radiohead during Ramadan and I wouldn't be surprised if most of them hate the radicals as much as you do.
Well, obviously. If those cities are religious they're not going to be breaking the rules of the religion they believe in since they're all religious.
Have you ever been to any Islamic country? People are drinking all over the place in Turkey. They have their own national alcoholic beverage. In other Islamic countries it's the same deal, although in some they don't blatantly drink out in public like in Turkey or a western country and instead they have hidden rooms or basements in certain places where they serve alcohol.
Yes, Islam prohibits consumption of alcohol. Yes, the guys in this video were muslims. Yes, they were pissed because people are breaking the prohibition on alcohol during the Islamic holy month. That's all though. Nowhere does Islam command muslims to attack people who drink, not even during Ramadan. That some people are idiots and decide to (violently) force their way of life on others sucks, but it's not something only muslims do and you cannot blame their religion for it or other people who follow that religion.
Well, it's kinda hard to tell from someone on the street if they are muslim or not. In Turkey the overwhelming majority of people are muslim. A lot of them are not practicing, and some of them don't believe in religion at all. It's pretty complicated. That being said the attackers knew these guys were Turkish so they know that at the very least they are familiar with the importance of Ramadan for the fellow countrymen who do practice and believe, which might have triggered them as your brother questions/suggests. I don't think they would've attacked westerners who happen to be there on a holiday that are drinking.
It's Turkey. You never know whether someone is carrying a knife or something. Plus, they were outnumbered.
When a muslim commits a crime, its the Muslims who are fault.
When a mass shooting happens, its the individual.
Fuck religion, and all that, but some people have some double standards when it comes to generalizing.
How about Christians blowing up abortion clinics, or attacking gays or bullied people attacking schools. You do realize that there are over 1 billion muslims on the world, and they they are not all middle eastern. Do the math on the # in the world and the number that are allegedly killing people. You may want to get an education and use the brain you were given, and stop falling for the right wing propaganda machine
I dunno bout you guys, I think it's fine. I mean Radiohead is just terrible, so this is an appropriate response really.
I don't think an aetheist would've beaten up people for drinking on any specific day since they don't have any religeous beliefs. And of the crime WAS committed specifically because they're trying to force their beliefs on others then I think that should factor into their punishment.

Guys, I'm starting to think these Islamic folks might have an aversion to things like life and fun. Just an inkling.
