What do you think about Turks? What do you know about us, do you know history between us? Do you know about Ottoman Empire? Do you like us, or why don't you?
Ive had bad runnings with many turks in town and what not, I try hard not to steriotype but Ive heard from people who have been there its a nice country with freindly people.
relative of mine, when she was still at school used to babysit for the owners of a local kebab shop, they treated her like a member of the family, they really made her feel at home. She managed to learn some Turkish from the children, although when she told me she could say "give us a kiss, it's time for bed" in Turkish, I advised her that it probaably wouldn't be a good idea to use that phrase when on holiday in Turkey ;)
Why you would ask this is beyond me lol! I know absolutely nothing of the history and can only say I'm aware of having met three people from there - guy at work who is amazingly fun and my neighbour and his mother(who is such a sweet lady) - but this only answers about three people - doesn't it?
other muslim countries are not very respected either.. and they been at war since war became a word.. centuries..
Least the turks helped Poland when help was needed..
the way I see it.. who cares if other muslim countries dont respect you. it isnt like other muslim countries respect a whole lot to begin with unless its in their own territory .. ( speaking of govt ) and leaders.. etc.

that is very general Pat.
you cant blame all muslims for a few extremists. the koran is actually a very peaceful and spiritual book, just in the wrong hands, can be turned to another viewpoint.
western and european countries have also been at war since the dawn of man.
So... ?
he asked what the impression of turks are!!
i work/liase with muslims and the turks/lebanese are not seen in a very spiritual light.
you had contact with a select few.. and if ya ask me.. alot of Men from any country, just name it.. like to drink and find themselfs..
if you were to go to a country ( theirs) of course. and they had a custom which they *example* take a shot glass and put it on their nose and light it on fire.. and it was something they did as say initiation into some type of manhood thing.. then yes.. I could find agreement in your post.
but.. ya only ran across a few .. even I cannot make comments on whats customary or not. because really I dont know. but. like i said. what I know is that they did jump in and help poland.. thats deserving of respect in my eyes.
hmmm.... dont think a man looks like and behaves like others....
I can agree with this to a point..
Tell us how Turkish feel about Polish :)
actually how do they feel about other countries..
I know it isnt customary to put a shot glass on your nose and light it on fire that was a Example.. just to prove a point.. but is there something similar to what King says about men * finding themselfs* ?
i have respect for Polish people because they had an independence war like us, they have a national anthem Poland isn't dead like we have Turks isn't dead. Istiklal marsi, history is important and i think Turks-Polish Had nice relationship because of their good personalities.

alcohol and sex before marriage are strictly forbidden in muslim culture, among other things. that is well known.
i have nothing against turks, i just find it hilarious thatsome (not all) have this pious attitude later in life after purposelly breaking the rules of their religion.
