| [Iran Press TV] In Turkey, festivities have erupted at the Istanbul University between students who support and oppose ISIL Lions of Islam operating in neighboring Syria and Iraq. Students say supporters of the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group, who had covered their faces and wore black hats, went on a rampage at the university's Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. "We, students of the Istanbul University, have been subject to the aggression of ISIL supporters who have blood on their hands. ISIL Lions of Islam are known for their aggression. They murder children and rape women in Rojava and Kobani. Those pro-ISIL 'so-called' students with black masks attacked us with sticks," anti-ISIL students said in a press statement issued after the festivities. The ISIL supporters were reacting to posters put up by students condemning deadly ISIL attacks being carried out in the Syrian border city of Kobani. Students said they were forced to barricade themselves inside the building with tables against ISIL supporters. A number of students were reportedly maimed. Earlier reports also indicated that other violent incidents took place at the campus, which led police to arrest dozens of students. They were then taken to the Istanbul Police Department's anti-terror office. Following the festivities, a number of anti-ISIL students accused Ankara of failing to take measures against the holy warrior group's activities in the country. Over the past few weeks, similar festivities have taken place in other Turkish universities such as the Middle East Technical University. The festivities come at a time that Turkish Kurds are voicing concern over what they call Ankara's cooperation with ISIL Lions of Islam and their killing of Kobani residents. |

| #1 Such a waste, silly muzzie bastids. Nothing better to do than quarrel at the University? Do they not have a music department? Why not chill out and enjoy some lovely Eine Kleine Nactmusik. |
