Flag burning is wrong. We have a tradition of respecting flags. We should respect our own traditions. We don't need to lower ourselves to their level.
That's why we need to bolster their numbers in Europe. And provide them with support anyway we can.I hear Muslims today saying we have become the "new jews" here without realising where its going to end for the "new jews". And if the common European ever moves against the Muslims, the Muslims in Europe will get swept away with relative ease. It will be far easier then when the Spanish swept away the Muslim moors of the Iberian peninsula.

When the Turkish Army recaptured Izmir, some zealots laid down a Greek flag on the ground, beneath Ataturk‘s feet so that he could step on it on his walk into the city hall. He, however, simply tripped around it and asked what was that about before entering the building. They in return, told him that the king Konstantine of Greece had stepped on Turkish flag when he visited Izmir during occupation. He simply replies:
”He blundered.. I can’t reprise the blunder… A flag is the honor of a nation, can not be thrown on the ground and stepped on. Remove it!”
Moral of the story; by not lowering yourself to the gutter where your enemy crawls, you take your dignity to the top.
True, but funnily enough they're too busy with their own problems ATM.The Isrealis are loving all of this, that nation has been at the forefront of trying to convince the west that muslims are evil to justify their extermination of the Palestinians.

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech, and enabling it. What gets me is the hypocrisy of it all. I consider myself reasonably liberal leaning, but I also know know that a large portion of Sweden would lose their collective sh*t if someone arranged an anti-pride parade and/or burnt LGBTQ+ flags. Worse yet, The Torah. Forget about it!I have lived in Stockholm, and have many Swedish Friends, some are anti-immigrant as well, I can't blame them after things I saw. They don't even care what you are going to do to their flag or bible, mindset is very different, you can insult them, it is a freedom of speech unless you make a physical assault . A piece of paper or cloth has no special value, if it belongs to you, you purchased it, you can burn or throw it to the garbage.. it does not matter if it is picture of king, flag of a country or some holy book. Eastern cultures turn things to holy and untouchable objects. However if that guy who is burning quran threw the burning quran to someone or some place, it will be a public crime. Besides, Swedes are mostly irreligious while still they are paying church fee! otherwise they can't get funeral service.
Only idiots react to provocations, if they provoke you, best thing to do is ignoring them.
How are they allowed when all demonstrations, strikes, events and parties are banned in Turkiye?Once again, it’s a very good opportunity for the West to show Turkiye as a barbaric, fanatical Islamist country. Thank you Erdogan and thanks to the fools who took the bait and burned that Swedish flag.

We should not allow such demonstrations, they should be prevented from gathering. Or, they should be passed over with more civilized demonstrations and explanations. The real reaction should be in political, intelligence and other areas.
Not all of them are forbidden, only the ones they see fit are allowed. Actions that should not happen in a democratic country, as a country we should look at ourselves first. When I say democratic, I don't mean the demonstrations of ethnic and religious terrorists who use democracy as a tool.because AK party wants to turn Turkiye into a theocratic dictatorship where their spawn rule indefinitely. Its quite obvious that AK party don't give two shits for the wider islamic world, what they care about is securing their political rule forever within Turkiye. If that means the entire Muslim world suffers as a result they don't care. They make the money, they send their kids to western schools and they live like Sultans.

Our country is full of people with Pkk and ISIS mentality
I believe that Sweds were stomping on Turkish flags and Erdoğan pictures , care to comment on that? The burning happened infront of Turkish embassy, obviously this is arranged against Turkey. As far as I am concerned i don't care about the impression of the western people about me , why shoulds I? Haven't I as Bosnian seen over the centuries what European thinks about me?Once again, it’s a very good opportunity for the West to show Turkiye as a barbaric, fanatical Islamist country. Thank you Erdogan and thanks to the fools who took the bait and burned that Swedish flag.
