Russian ambassador shot!

[Kutnupe14]

So wait, he's pinning the ambassador's murder on ISIS? Have they claimed responsibility for this? Or does Putin see anybody opposing Syria as ISIS (incorrectly)?

ISIS ?Celebrates? Assassination of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov | Heavy.com

I think ISIS claim responsibility for any attack anyway, even when they are not involved (like it's often the case with lone wolves).

Well ISIS sees Russia as the enemy too, so it's not odd they'd be celebrating.

Don't they see pretty much everybody as the enemy and will celebrate any death outside of their group?
I'm pretty sure they can't even stand Al Qaeda and other groups.

Exactly. They celebrate the deaths of anybody who isn't ISIS.

You, sir, won the internet. For this brief, fleeting moment in time. Very observant.

Yeah, that's pretty brilliant.

Heard the NPR report on this today AM. Lots of mention about "Don't forget Syria" and all that. No mention of what he said repeatedly: "Allahu akbar."

Which implies "God is great?" A saying that has been common amongst Muslims for a very, very, very long time. As Americans we have only heard it commonly associated with "bad" Muslims. I assure you good Muslims, of which the vast majority are, also use the term. It wasn't invented as a terrorist slogan.

Yep, he has the point to "heaven/god" nazi salute and everything.

It's ubiquitous in the Mid East. Waiter brings the food on time? Allahu Akbar. Ahmed gets accepted to the private school? Allahu Akbar. Your car repair bill was lower than expected? Allahu Akbar. The tea has just the right about of sugar? Allahu Akbar. To steal a quote from another forum: "When 95% of the population is Muslim, you are going to get Allahu Akbar chants when the coffee is especially good that morning."

Point to God? Lol. I find it amazing how small an American's understanding of the world, outside our borders is. I wonder where the the radical Islamic slogans and customs office is located?

You could just tell us why he is pointing that giant finger in the air, instead telling us how little understanding we have of the world.

He is obviously upset about the choice of paint color on the ceiling.

I could, but I've learned ignorance is preferred rather than being actually having an opinion changed. If people wanted to know the truth, they'd inform themselves, rather that being the typical "I don't know crap about the world" Americans.
