Turkish media; Istanbul gunman was Chinese Uighur Muslim
UK’s The Week reports that The Haber Turk newspaper is reporting that they have information that the gunman who killed scores of people and injured 65 others in Istanbul the other night was a member of the Chinese Muslim minority group the Uighurs.
He also appeared to have combat experience and could have been trained in Syria, which shares a border with the country, Reuters said, quoting an unidentified security source.
The Dogan News Agency says police have detained 27 people with alleged links to the attacker, including three foreign national families. They add the gunman is believed to be around 25 years old…anti-Chinese sentiment over the troubles has simmered in Turkey, where many Turks see themselves as sharing religious and cultural ties with the Uighurs.
Police say that is him in the picture above and they have his finger prints, they’ve arrested a dozen others who are from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Maybe he should have joined the Hui.
Oh and by the way,
Cocksucker.
Chiner, eh? We’ll see. It may be the first modern instance we see of a government choking Islam into nonexistence, thanks to Wing Wang here. He saved himself for execution. That’s nice.
Uighur? He don’t look like no Uighur to me. He looks – well, Irish. And we don’t want no Irish here!
He is actually an Irish Amish pacifist who likes goats.
Oh prairie shit, even the Irish
He does look like an independent cabbie tho.
Wow and all this time I was thinking it was some wild eyed christians…muslims you say? I didn’t see that one coming…..

You win the comment of the day for sarcasm. Love it and keep them coming,
Thought it was some old tired and retired white male veteran gun owner.
Just ask Lars – The gunman was triggered by Trump! It’s not his fault! It’s those evil totalitarian fascists!

“Joey, have you ever been…in a Turkish Prison?”
? I see what you did there.
The shitbird was trying for “fierce selfie” but looks like a “before” picture in a fiber laxative commercial. I have seen better “hard looks” on Pop Warner defensive linemen.
Think the photo was from a security camera in an Istanbul square, I saw it reported as that someplace. Give him credit for having balls because he obviously didn’t care who saw his face.
What, wait… Huh. A Muslim????? The dickens you say.
The next time you get shorted a fortune cookie, you just might want to keep it to yourself. And that little stain on your best dress shirt that the laundry swore they would get out but didn’t? Fahgetaboutit.
Ancient Chinese secret?
MUSLIM? How do WE know he isn’t a Mennonite who went nuts after shaving his beard? 16 days until inauguration so it ain’t Trump’s fault just yet.
What are you talking about? Trump doesn’t need to be in office to be blamed for this. Of course he’s at fault. This guy was clearly upset about Trump’s disrespect of Megyn Kelly and women in general!
Elite military training shooting people in the back.
Is there anywhere muslims aren’t at war? Even in Islamic states they are not content.
That’s stereotyping all Muslims.
Just look at parts of the muzzie world where they shoot at, bomb and hack each other’s heads off because there isn’t anyone else to hate and kill, Shiites and Sunnis have been offing each other since their death cult branched out.
That’s a face only a mother could love.
and today Turkish authorities allege the attack was American sponsored. Apparently they are in a very anti-US mood there and if they get another earthquake will blame it on us. Some pundits are reading this as Erdogan trying to distance himself from Obama to make nice with Trump… not sure that theory flies. Looks a lot more to me like he’s trying to tell Iran ‘hey, I’m basically on your side’.
The consequences of Communism.
