The whole country is Muslim, the religion of peace.

Then why are they killing themselves?

For the same reason Christians kill all sorts of people. All religion is a farce that we use to try and control psychopaths, and sometimes it fails.

Religion is used by psychopaths to justify their actions. It only controls women for horny selfish men

If you think religion is only used to control women and not men, I have a cult to sell you

Whataboutism. Christianity is just as bad its more about ideology and political affiliation which is why I always say just look at the right wings and far right. They're the real problems. Republicans love to take away womens rights and monitor their autonomity which is a far bigger problem in a "democratic" country.

"religion of peace" is itself an oxymoron, no matter which one of them it's applied to.

Fuck off, that's so lazy dude.

2009 called, it wants its hand-me-down xenophobia back.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The attack occurred hours before Parliament was set to reopen after its three-month summer recess with an address by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Two police officers were slightly injured during the attack near an entrance to the Ministry of Interior Affairs, minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Last year, a bomb blast in a bustling pedestrian street in Istanbul left six people dead, including two children.

Security camera footage on Sunday showed the vehicle stopping in front of the ministry, with a man exiting it and rushing toward the entrance of the building before blowing himself up.

Earlier, television footage showed bomb squads working near a vehicle in the area, which is located near the Turkish Grand National Assembly and other government buildings.

Police cordoned off access to the city center and increased security measures, warning citizens that they would be conducting controlled explosions of suspicious packages.


The original article contains 759 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
