Turkey's Prime Minister Orders Heavy Metal Fans Arrested For 'Devil Horns' Salute
- July 29, 2009
|
|
Nicholas Birch of The Irish Times reports: Five Turkish heavy metal fans got more than they bargained for in Istanbul last weekend when they made heavy metal salutes (the devil horns, the slightly demonic hand gesture with a raised index finger and pinkie that has long been as an essential element as jeans to the hard rock fan's concert accessories) at a passing cavalcade. "The tinted windows of one of the cars opened and a guy in dark glasses shouted, 'What the hell are you doing?'" says Yusuf Sengul, who was attending the first day of a heavy metal festival with his friends. Five minutes later, the men in black came back with police, bundled Sengul and four others into cars and took them to a police station. "They said they were acting on the orders of the prime minister," Sengul remembers. "We were laughing. We thought it was a joke." But it wasn't. Accused of "disrespect of a senior official," the five youngsters spent the rest of the day and night being taken from one police station to another. Read the entire report from The Irish Times.

The devil horn salutes goes back to Jinx Dawson and Coven. most people (includding the misinformed VH1 & MTv) give the credit wrongly to DIO who did it 7 years after the first Coven "Witchcraft" album. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

The devil horns & metal are a common thing. Dio would be very angry to hear about this one.

The first thing that came to my mind was the same,
the Horns up hand symbol looks almost the same as the "grey wolves" hand symbol.
The Grey wolves do the horns up with the thumb,ring and middlefinger stretched out together as the nose of a wolf, withe the pointing finger and the pinkie being the ears of the wolf.
The Grey Wolves are the anemy within' in turkey and i think that is what the guy thought he saw....

"...the slightly demonic hand gesture..."
how can something be "slightly" demonic? that's like saying slightly pregnant.
"honey, why is our son floating four feet off his bed and speaking in a language we've never heard before?"
"oh, he's just slightly demonic, dear."
"just slightly?"
"yes, just slightly. nothing to worry about."
"oh, good. would you like meatloaf for dinner, dear?"
cheers.

Its actually an old Italian hand gesture used to ward off evil and protect people... rather than envoke it. Go figure.

The police thought (or saw, or at least this is what they claim) that the boys actually gave the middle finger at the convoy - which may be true.
BUT, this doesn't change the fact that turkey is ruled by islamist fascist, all ruled by one Fethullah Gülen. INTERESTINGLY, this Fethullah Gülen is banned from entering Turkey BUT he is living in USA.
Now think about it...
With the aid of USA, Iraq got Saddam - then USA destroys them. The same goes for Afghanistan - USA helped the mullahs take over those countries and rule with degenerate islamic laws and then SUPRISE!! USA attacks the country in order to sweep away the evil mullah.
Iran is next. Divide and conquer.
And after that, Turkey will be the next probably. Islamic fascists take over Turkey (although USA has been their sponsor all the way) and then they harm USA through helping hizbullah or some shit and the next thing we'll know is that USA is taking over Turkey.
Which actually is, WHAT TURKEY DESERVES!!!
Turkish people are so stupid that they don't deserve ANYTHING better than prime minister Erdogan. Turkey has let left-wing supporters get tortured and eliminated for long, long years and supported degenerate governments. Unfortunately, because of constant immigration from the east to the west, the country is ruled by degeneration and lies and theft in all sides. "You have to fuck before someone fucks you", a quotation from Midnight Express and it's damn right. Half western, half eastern and you have this mutant country that doesn't work.
People here really need a kick in their asses to understand and get their shit together and try some honesty. But I doubt it. Time to leave the boat before it sinks DESERVEDLY. Too bad the shitheads ruined the once promising country Mustapha Kemal Ataturk founded with a pure vision. Now it's time for them to suffer!

I'm Turkish for fuck's sake! How can I be racist? I am not talking about genetic deficiencies, I am talking about the cultural degeneration. Turkish people unfortunately subconsciously still want to be ruled by an emperor just like the ottoman empire - just like women who can only feel safe under the wings of a macho husband. That's the only way they unfortunately can feel safe, and that's why we have Erdogan here right now. And the ones before were not too different anyway.
But see, the prime ministers of Turkey aren't from rich or aristocratic families - they actually have low to midclass backgrounds. So actually they ARE the voice of the general community. Hence my comment above.

You just proved me right about my "stupid" comment. :)
Don't rant for ranting's sake... Erdogan has been chosen as the prime minister with around half of the country's votes. People who voted for him in return for free food and rice and shit. People who sell their country for rice! Think about it. Vatan millet sakarya iyi güzel ama tek basina, bir altyapi olmadan bir ise yaramiyor - gerçekle yüzlesmeden düzelme olmuyor, "türk halkina kötü deme, türk olmaktan gurur duyuyorum leaaagggnn" gibi arabesk bosalmalar ve psikolojik patlamalar ile bu ülkenin anasini senin gibiler sikti ve asil halk ve devlet düsmani olarak dürüstlük yerine lafla ülke korumaciligini tercih eden dolandiricilari görüyorum.
Bon Appetite!

hoz geldiniz büyücü, temizlemek hikaye!
I'm from holland and i have many turkish friends, i know that there a loads of turkish people that fighting for seperation of religion and state in turkey.
Problem is that turkey is a hige country with a major part living traditional in the mountains and on the farmlands, they are very religious and against seperation.
But there is also a very modern turkey. with very fine people and the most beautiful girls i had ever seen.
It takes time to change but i'm shure that the seperation will happen one day.....
good luck!

The majority, which voted for Erdogan, does not live in farmlands or mountains, but in capitals like Istanbul and Ankara. Sure there are girls with mini skirts in Turkey and it is not legal to kill them for having sex, but also, there are extreme religionists. The "modern islamists", in other words, the corrupt islamists, who interestingly are rich and live in villas etc... (contrary to the religion's own philosophy) are getting stronger here but you see, the ones who feed them are the people.
We have girls in mini skirts and ninja clothes, too (like the arabian women), but the problem is: nothing is done proper! The "open minded" people and "narrow minded" people are all corrupt the same way. It doesn't matter who rules the country, communists or islamists, it will be done in a corrupt way.
If even each and every bus driver of the municipality are after illegally stealing your 0,2 TL's (around 0,1 EUR) from your pocket, then something is definitely wrong with the country, not only the government, but the actual people themselves.

That´s plain ridiculous: they should´ve saluted them with the middle finger. Religion sucks and it is always the same: ignorance or intolerance, call it what you want.
