Gun battle at US consulate in Constantinople: "Terrorists, with beards and long hair"

Shootout in Occupied Constantinople. "Turkey shooting: Six dead in US consulate attack in Istanbul," from the Telegraph, July 9 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Three policemen and three unidentified gunmen have been killed during a 15-minute gun battle at the United States consulate in Istanbul.

Three gunmen stormed a guard post near the main entrance of the high-walled compound, reportedly shooting a Turkish police officer in the head.

A full-scale gun battle then erupted at the heavily-guarded compound, ending in the deaths of the three assailants. The city’s governor, Muammer Guler, said a police officer had died at the scene while two others died of their wounds soon after in hospital....

Witness Yavuz Erkut Yuksel said the attackers emerged from a white vehicle and surprised the officer at the guard post. “One of them approached a policeman while hiding his gun and shot him in the head,” he said.

Another witness described the attackers as “terrorists, with beards and long hair.”...

"Beards and long hair"?

sounds like the hippies are back

Rasputin impersonators?

muhammadans ?

They are Islamic Jihadis who are Muslims. Get to the damn point. These thugs are Muslims following the dictates of their religion. State the facts.

Buddhists, obviously.

Three guesses about how this will be reported, sans RoP(tm).

What would long-haired Amish insurrectionists be doing in Turkey?

"Occupied Constantinople."

Love that term. And that's what it is.

Wow, who knew the Reindeer People of Northern Finland would go ballistic in Turkey?

I love that: Occupied Constantinople.

"Beards and long Hair"??? The "Peace Movement" changing tactics, or are the few Code Pink Husbands looking for some attention?

Greek Orthodox priests? Quick, check Mt. Athos!

Willie Nelson fans.

But ... Muslim men aren't supposed to have long hair, are they? That's Sikhs.

The US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, voiced “deep regret” at the loss of life.

Oh well. Ho hum. Just more "loss of life."

Embassy or consulate, its' the same thing in any Mohammedan mad house, a too convenient place to take hostages.

All western societies should close the ones they have in these places and force them various provincial governments of the Ummah to send emissaries to our country to bow and scrap before us for any more foreign aid, which we'll immediately reject.

I love RS calling Istanbul Constantinople, along the lines of Mohammedans calling Jerusalem al Quds, Spain al Andaluz, among others.

Where's that Mohammedan troll Istanbulnotconstantinople?

The eye witness story seem contrived or to inside? He would to have been looking right at them according to his statements. Now this maybe the case but it later says he was there to get a visa. I don't know if he was just walking up to the guard gate right behind the attackers or he was coming from the consulate. People are usually not paying that much attention to see how the first shot was fired. Maybe wrong but one wonders.

It just seems like he might have been number five of the fighters of Allah. IMO they are all guilty if they call themselves Muslims. We know nothing will come of this other than what has been said by the government of Turkey or the US (Condi).

It's always an expression of "deep regret" when it should be an expression of outrage that such cowardly behavior has taken place and will be dealt with swiftly and completely so that the perpetrators will never be able to repeat and others will be afraid to do so. And under no circumstances will the perpetrators and their state/govt supporters get a pass because they're Muslim.

Close the consulate. No more visas for those in occupied Constantinople.

They would do this even with our assistance in their denial of the Armenian and Assyrian genocides? Nice friends.

With friends like them, we don't need enemies.

heck maybe if they keep this up firing at the US consulate, no more visa for the turks heading here!! yeah.

"Occupied Constantinople"

Correct.

Pakistan is "Occupied Indian Territories"

Correct.

There are so many other....

I agree completely. Expressions of "deep regret" should be used when you hear of someone's hitting a patch of black ice on a wintry road, or suddenly developing leukemia--things that may be very painful, but are no one's fault.

When you are talking about the results of a vicious, deliberate attack, where is the righteous anger? You hear this all the time, where an act of savagery is treated pretty much like a natural disaster. It's as though some people consider it almost embarrasing or unseemly to actually hold anyone responsible for any evil, no matter how calculated it is.

Occupied Kosovo - for that country now known as 'Kosava'

Occupied Nagorno-Karabakh

How about occupied Bahrein - populated by Shia, ruled by Sunnis?

Occupied Medina - once a prosperous Jewish city

With this consulate attack today, and the embassy bombing in Kabul the day beforeyesterday, (for which the Taliban denied responsibility), I can't help but speculate about possible coordination.

And I hope there aren't other targets on the list, particularly if the presumed al-Qaeda connection holds up, as high-visibility, serial attacks are well-established AQ calling (or rather, bombing) cards.

I hope I'm wrong.

With Mohammedans, peace has no chance, Mr. Lennon. Their's is a "religion" of perpetual war until everyone worships Allah alone. I wonder if John Lennon had ever looked at a Qur'an?
