So sad. This will really hurt tourism there now, which is a shame because Istanbul is the most beautiful city I've been to.

Isn't Turkey part of Asia?

Always wondered the same for the rest of the middle eastern countries. I also wonder what ethnicity Middle Easterners would be. They're certainly not Asian, but they're not caucasian or african.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Most of it isn't in Europe. But Istanbul is considered trans-continental (its in Europe and Asia).

Oh in the landmass it would be, but I'm just saying in case there is any "the UK was right to leave the EU, this goes on there" type of talk, this country isn't in the EU.

Istanbul Atutark airport is on the European side of Istanbul.

I loved what I see in the movies. James Bond always seems to be there.

It's even more beautiful in person. And the people from there are so friendly.

Most probably done by ISIS, shockingly they attacked another Muslim majority country and this time during the holy month of Ramadan.

This group hasn't got an ounce of religion in them.

Istanbul is basically part of Europe.

OT: Absolutely sickening.

Suicide bombers are nothing but whimps. They aim for innocent civilians and kill themselves. If you ask me, you have to be a pretty shallow person to do that.

 

 

Also, it is the last ten days of Ramadan. I wonder if we'll get any more huge bombings.

This is becoming a semi-annual occurrence these days. 

Asia Minor. Separate sphere of influence.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

This is why nobody wants all these muslim immigrants in, they just can't be trusted. It's mainly why UK voted to leave.
