We need to stop painting with broad brushes in both directions as it's disingenuous either way. This act says nothing about the people of Turkey workout knowing how many feel that way. It is however, a clear show of disrespect by some in the crowd no matter how much you want to defend them.
These two things are totally possible:
1. The overwhelming majority of Turks do not support terrorism and in fact the moment of silence suggests this
2. Some in the crowd did not feel that way

Great, so you're on the same page as most posters in here. All the happened is Polak went off the deep end made a comment about carpet bombing the whole region, driveway came in with an article explaining that it might not be as bad as it seems, then you went on a quest to bridge the gap and get everyone to a consensus that wasn't needed, as "both sides" weren't being disingenuous.
One "side" made a horrible comment and the other "side" is everyone else just rationally discussing the incident.
