99.8 percent of the Turkish population is Muslim, according to the CIA World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/tu.html).
The disruption came at a game attended by both the Turkish and Greek prime ministers.
The terror attacks in Paris (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/11/13/several-reportedly-dead-after-shootout-in-paris-restaurant-as-explosions-are-heard-in-area/) left at least 129 dead and scores more injured. It was the deadliest violence to strike France since World War II.

People on the net are saying that they are chanting "Martyrs never die, the nation won't be divided" and the moment of silence isn't about Paris but an ISIS bombing in their country. The chant is referring to their Turkish soldiers not terrorists. Maybe Drudge/Breitbart has this wrong. Not sure.

Impossible to tell by that video what happened, and imo it can be spun innumerable ways. One would have to be there and be familiar with that culture to fully comprehend what happened in that two minutes.

Wouldn't be surprised either way.

Keep in mind false translations are a standard Jew procedure.

Really anything is possible. A few months ago opinion polls in Turkey indicated that ISIS had around 10% support/sympathies. For this we really don't know the context so it is hard to tell. There was a bombing in Ankara at a peace protest, about a month ago, and the attention of the world community/media wasn't anything near of what it was for the Paris attacks, even though the number of deaths was similar Possibly people was protesting this...

Supposedly the American Revolution had a bout the same 10 percent. Just a matter of who gets up off their ass and does something.

Scary thought! Though the difference is that those in the American revolution had a brain!
