What follows are comments on some of the issues raised in
my 15 November posting (‘There is a war on’), which dealt with the ISIS attack
on Paris.
Last Tuesday (17 November), there was a soccer match in
Istanbul between Turkey and Greece. Just before the kick-off an
official call was made for a moment of silence for the victims of the terrorist
attack in Paris, on the previous Friday. It was greeted by whistling
and shouts of ‘Allahu Akbar’ (‘God is great’). They were
celebrating!
