#1 What?! How can secularized, infinitely tolerant Turks be involved in suicicide bombings?!

BTW, Murat -- you never revealed the information you have regarding my "true identity". Why not? Did you forget? C'mon, don't you remember posting this?

Robert Crawford aka Berxwedan use your real name please and be honest to tell everyone that you are a PKK symphatizer. If you don't I will link your post from the KM site.

C'mon, Murat. You made an accusation; prove it or be proven a coward.

#2 I don't think the Turks are bombing anyone currently. I suppose Ansar would hold a grudge against the PUK and KDP for assisting in the extermination that the US performed on the rat's nest in Northern Iraq. Turkish passports should not be hard to obtain for Kurdish militants in Iraq.

#3 Sorry, I meant kurdish miltants in Iran.

#4 RC, I'm sure you have been called "Bob" at one time or another. No doubt Murat sees this as a sinister alias.

#5 Keep in mind that there are also Turkish al-Qaeda ... just like there are American or British al-Qaeda. Also, the KDP had good relations with the Turks prior to the war and even helped them in the war against the PKK.

More to the point, al-Qaeda prides itself on its members having abandoned ethnic or tribal ties in favor of Pan-Islamism. The Taliban helped the IMU, for example, despite the fact that a good chunk of the Northern Alliance brass was made up of Uzbeks.
