Talk:Kahramanmaraş massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "Karanmanmaraş Massacre" Wikipedia entry should be used rather than the "Maraş Massacre" entry. Both entries have language issues, but the "Maraş Massacre" entry makes some broad claims that cast blame on all Sunni Muslims, rather than just the extremist ones who carried out the massacre. Specifically, this part of the first paragraph needs to be revised:

"Sunnis in Turkey always attacked Alevis with the government support several times and killed Alevi men, women, children, and even Alevi babies. In the opinion of Sunnis, Alevis are not Muslim because both Alevi men and Alevi women live equally. Alevi people also drink alcohol which is a sin that is substantial enough to be killed according to Sunnis. Unlike the Sunnis, Alevi people pray for Love, which is the real God in the view of the Alevi Mysticism (God is Love Love is God). Sunnis decided that Killing Alevis will help Sunnis to go to heaven because Alevis are not Muslim. Sivas Massacre (1993), Maraş Massacre (1978) and the Sunni militarist attack to İstanbul Gazi region, so called Gazi Olayları in Turkish, are the Sunni attacks of the last 30 years aganist the Alevi people."

Only in the oppinion of Sunnis ? NEDEN? Kazım Genç :) Takabeg (talk) 14:17, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
