A common misconception, further distorted by the Media.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.101greatgoals.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;an-explanation-for-why-turkey-fans-appeared-to-boo-minutes-silence-for-paris-attack-victims&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.101greatgoals.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;an-explanation-for-why-tur...</a><p>TL;DR: Cultural difference. In Turkey, the &quot;moment of silence&quot; is used to chant for those who died in the attacks. They were not saying &quot;Allahu Akbar&quot;, they were saying “Şehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez”.<p>Translation: “Martyrs, they do not die (they are immortal), homeland (land, our land) is indivisible.&quot; Those who die in the attacks are considered martyrs, not those responsible. &quot;Homeland&quot; in this instance would be considered France.<p>Coming to your final point, every Muslim I know whether they practice or not hates terrorists. Earlier (those in rural regions) they had been fed propaganda that these were freedom fighters who had been discredited as terrorists since they were seen as fighting western aggression and invaders. Once they were shown instances of Marines&#x2F;U.S. Army helping out&#x2F;rescuing civilians in war-torn countries their entire perception is overturned, first it&#x27;s disbelief that they would help the civilians, and later they understand that they&#x27;re just humans looking for a better world as well and had only been doing their duty, and that countries &amp; civilians pay the price for their leaders&#x27; arrogance &amp; sins.
