Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim soccer fans boo, scream “Allahu akbar” during moment of silence for Paris jihad victims

Nov 18, 2015 4:41 am By Robert Spencer

That “tiny minority of extremists” just keeps getting bigger.

“Turkish soccer fans boo during moment of silence for Paris,” by Ben Ariel, Israel National News, November 18, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Turkish soccer fans on Tuesday evening booed during a minute’s silence for the victims of the Paris attacks before a game against Greece, Reuters reported.

If the booing was not enough, some reports said that the fans also shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the moment of silence.

Soccer Allahu akbar

The booing was captured on video and uploaded to YouTube, though the “Allahu Akbar” chants are not heard in the video.

The mark of respect was observed at matches across Europe, including at Wembley where France faced England, after the Islamic State (ISIS) struck Paris on Friday killing 129 people.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras watched the game together, in a sign of reconciliation between the two neighbors, whose relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past, noted Reuters.

Turkey, under the rule of current President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has increasingly adopted more Islamist policies, as can be seen in Erdogan and Davutoglu’s foreign policy, as well as in the censorship of the internet in Turkey and some laws which have passed, such as the ones restricting the sale of alcohol.

    10 years from now people will ask how the West could have a jihadi state like Turkey as a member of NATO.

    I have trained with the Turkish Army. They are as good as any European Army. But much much bigger.

      Turkey is the buffer to Russian expansionism in the Eurasian area, the Caucasus and Iraq.

      This is why we are allied to Turkey, unfortunately.

    The Greek team should have walked off the field, there and then, with every member extending the middle finger, or whatever the Greek gesture of contempt is.

    And the Greek captain should have announced Greece would never play Turkey, ever again.

      @ Mirren10,
      The “finger” is pretty well understood the world over now.
      I was thinking the same thing when I saw the news clips.

      The world would have stood up and noticed if this grand gesture were made.

    Muslims are so special.
    Muslims insist that they and their ‘religion’ must be shown respect.

      There is an ad for some musical thingy, and a woman’s voice says something like *all they want is respect.*
      IMO the whole idea of “respect” is misunderstood today. People no longer know what it means to respect someone. Many want others to simply acquiesce; moslims want subjugation and worship. And to them, respect is a one-way street.

    The Turks did the same thing fourteen years ago following the 9/11 attacks in the USA. I was watching a Champions League soccer match in Turkey at the time. The crowd was asked to stand in a moment of silence to pay their respects and honor the victims of Muslim attacks in New York. The crowd reacted the same way as last night. They cheered and did not honor the moment of silence at all. The rest of the soccer world should refuse to play “friendlies” in Turkey for the next decade to demonstrate its displeasure with the Muslim Turks.

    According to Shoebat most were chanting “Martyrs do not die!” (from the Qur’an’s “Those who are killed in the cause of Allah: Do not call them dead.” In fact they are living, though you can not perceive that life”) to praise the jihadists and not honor the infidels. There is a much longer clip there. Regardless, the meaning is the same.

    If the booing was not enough, some reports said that the fans also shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the moment of silence.

    These are the people we’re considering admitting into the EU.

    Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras watched the game together, in a sign of reconciliation between the two neighbors, whose relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past, noted Reuters.

    Who was the hostile nation in most, if not all, occasions?

    Bosnian Muslims disrespect silence for Jihad victims as well.

    Respect us but don’t expect us to respect you- Muslims they’re no different from the Wesbro Baptist “church”
    Islam is a religion of peace… /sarc off/

    Apparently, large numbers of Turks believe that attacking Christians and women in a sports stadium or concert hall is Islamic.

    Behold the “moderate” Muslims!
    They may not actually do the killing but they support those that do since they are the Soldiers of Allah making way for worldwide Muslim domination..
