Forums - General Discussion - Turkey fans BOO during pre-match minute's silence for the victims of Paris attacks and chant 'Allahu Akbar'

Turkey fans were heard booing during the minute's silence for the victims of the Paris attacks before kick-off.

Chants of 'Allahu Akbar' - the Islamic phrase meaning 'God is greater' - were reportedly heard in Istanbul.

It seems that there are a lot more extremists than the media would have you believe. The same thing happened in the Ireland vs Bosnia game. Bosnia, of course, is a country with an Islamic majority.

Really sad and depressing.

The current international situation is all kinds of fucked up.

It's sad that there's people with such disrespect. 

This is why you cannot trust any Football fans, they're all dumb, drunk hooligans.

There's also plenty of religious types people, which are increasing in numbers.



I don't think that either Turkish fans booing or the Paris incident itself are even remotely as important as many of us think they are. Maybe "think" would more appropriately be replaced with "(too) strong media suggestion".

People are dying every second in this world, children are getting murdered or simply dying of thirst and hunger (and I don't mean figuratively) as we speak. As we type and pretend that everything is cool. As we sleep calmly.

I guess some lives are more important than the others. Same as they always were.
