Turkish enrichment of Western culture beats the drums again

[Skybird]

Could not really oppose what you said, Püngüyn. And yes, Hürryet is a terrible newspaper indeed, that is why I underlined the suprising neutral comment of theirs in the English edition. But as I also said: the Turkish native edition seems to have choosen another tone, indicated by that they had made a series of articles in past days.

The comment I assume is authentic, because it reflects a pattern in attitude towards the West I am all to familiar with: self-victimization if one wants something from the West, and holding the West responsible if oneself had done something wrong. While this is present and widespread in all Muslim world that I have been in, I found it to be especially dominant in rural Turkey and amongst Palestinian Arabs in general, the latter being the true Muslim champions of this art. Its always the others, its always the Jews, its always the infidels.
