    Turkey fans BOO during pre-match minute's silence for the victims of Paris attacks
    Thats low class, Turkey.



    Turkey fans BOO during pre-match minute's silence for the victims of Paris attacks and chant 'Allahu Akbar' before Greece friendly

    • Turkey fans were heard booing during the minute's silence for the victims of the Paris attacks before kick-off
    • Chants of 'Allahu Akbar' - the Islamic phrase meaning 'God is greater' - were reportedly heard in Istanbul
    • Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu watched the game together
    • It was the first time the two teams met for eight years and the Turkish Football Federation announced a string of additional security measures - the neighbours' relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past
    • Fatih Terim's side were held to a goalless draw by Michael Skibbe's visitors at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium


    Chants of 'Allahu Akbar' were reportedly heard in Istanbul as some Turkey fans shamefully booed a pre-match minute's silence for the victims of the Paris attacks.
    The friendly itself against Greece was largely forgettable as the action finished 0-0 at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
    But the game was tarnished before it even started as a video emerged suggesting some of the Turkish faithful were voicing their dissent towards tributes for the 129 victims who were killed in last Friday's atrocities in Paris.

    Loud jeering is audible as players from both sides stood silently in the centre circle before kick-off, with reported shouts of 'Allahu Akbar' - the Islamic phrase meaning 'God is greater' - filtering through the stands.
    After the match Turkey manager Fatih Terim was quoted as saying: 'Our fans should have behaved during the national anthems and during the one minute silence.
    'Greece is our neighbour. Today is world neighbours day, but our fans didn't behave like neighbours in this match.'
    Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras watched the game together, in a sign of reconciliation between the two neighbours, whose relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past.
    It was the first time the two teams had met for eight years and the Turkish Football Federation had announced a string of additional security measures before the match at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium stadium in Istanbul, which was a 17,000 sell out.

        This further proves this whole terror thing is so much more complicated than what mainstream media is reporting...

        Media not interested in a greater understanding though because the West would begin to look bad for the failed role they've played across the middle east over the past 30 years..

            Muslims have been waging war since the 7th century. Anyone who is not a muslim is an infidel and deserves to be put under the sword or be subjugated and live in fear. Muslims can be nice people, but they do not speak for Islam because Islam is anything put peaceful towards non-muslims and that is a fact for anyone who reads the Koran (or its meaning). Therefore, there is nothing to be surprised about in that video. It's disgraceful and it's a slap in the face to humanity all around the world. Pray for peace.

                                            Someone needs to translate to them what moment of silence means. It means shut the fukk up.
