#US #Turkey This incident certainly represents a serious disrespect for Turkish hospitality. More than just hospitality, the incident breaches the bounds of humanity and is significant in preventing the building of love. Nobody has the right to blame those young American sailors for a grave error made by the US back in 2003, to terrify them in a foreign country and to portray a country like Turkey as a savage place, which in fact should be a model to the world in terms of love and friendship. Those young American sailors must have been too young back in 2003 and probably unaware of that incident. It is terrifying for the people of both countries for any American spotted in the street to be held accountable for US government’s policies or mistakes. Even if the people in question had been directly responsible for the hood incident, the right thing to do would certainly not be to exhibit the same brutal behavior toward them. If a mistake has been made, legal measures should be taken, and if there is true regret and apology, forgiveness must follow. That is what Islamic values and the traditions of Anatolia in which we live require. arabnews/columns/news/663571
